Reducing CO2 emissions from tractor engines by using the diesel fuel and rapeseed oil Mend

摘要

The paper presents the results of some experimental research that led to the conclusion that diesel engines that fit agricultural tractors can reduce CO2 emissions by using a fuel oil mixture made up of 50% diesel and 50% refined rapeseed oil.Following the experimental determinations made and presented in the paper,both in load and idle operation,using a fuel mixture consisting of diesel and rapeseed oil,a reduction of up to 25% of CO2 emissions was obtained.Such a reduction in CO2 emissions is important because this gas belongs to the greenhouse effect category,and at the moment,a large number of U650 tractors are still being used in agriculture.
