Abstract

Environmental issues such as ever-increasing energy demand, declining fossil fuel deposits, global warming and higher levels of air pollution necessitate the transition to renewable fuels. It is necessary to develop a cleaner, safer, sustainable and renewable alternative for fossil fuels. For the production of such fuels using thermochemical processes, it is important to use products with a fuel potential in a waste state. In this context, it is proposed to convert waste transmission oil. Accordingly, in the study, diesel fuel was produced from waste transmission oil by pyrolysis method. The fuel produced is a mixture of diesel with waste transmission oil, 80% diesel and 20% waste transmission oil. Engine tests were carried out with the use of the produced mixture fuel and pure diesel fuel in a diesel generator engine and the necessary comparisons were carried out. In the study, emission tests were performed. In the scope of emission tests, the changes of carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), hydrocarbons (HC), nitrogen oxides (NOX) and Oxygen (O2) emissions depending on the engine load were investigated. Finally, in order to determine the performance parameters of the fuels, tests were performed for three different parameters. These tests are listed as fuel consumption, specific fuel consumption and effective efficiency measurement and calculation. According to the test results obtained, it can be said that the waste transmission oil-doped mixture fuel produced can be used instead of diesel fuel for its intended purpose.
