An Experiment Study of the Effect for the Fuel Additive Using in Fishing Vessels Light Diesel Engine Performance

Abstract:

In this study, the vertical single cylinder YANMAR YDG3700N diesel engine power generator is used to find out the physical changes external to the engine under different fuel consumption rates and loads. The fuels used are what a Class A fishing vessel uses, which is blended with four different fuel additives available on the market to compare the combustion of the fuels with the addition of the additives in an attempt to find out the effect on the engine. The result of the experiment shows measurable external physical properties of the engine and fuel consumption rates under the combustion with fuels added with different additives in different proportions under different loading: the changes in engine speed and temperature of the exhaust will serve as a reference for choosing different fuel additives in the market and for better understanding of the properties of the fuel additives.
