It has been found that the vegetable oils are promising substitute, because of their properties are similar to those of diesel fuel and they are renewable and can be easily produced. However, drawbacks associated with crude vegetable oils are high viscosity, low volatility call for low heat rejection combustion chamber, with its significance characteristics of higher operating temperature, maximum heat release, and ability to handle lower calorific value (CV) fuel etc. Experiments were carried out to evaluate the performance of an engine consisting of different low heat rejection (LHR) combustion chambers such as ceramic coated cylinder head-LHR-1, air gap insulated piston with superni (an alloy of nickel) crown and air gap insulated liner with superni insert – LHR-2; and ceramic coated cylinder head, air gap insulated piston and air gap insulated liner – LHR-3 with normal temperature condition of crude rice bran oil (CRBO) with varied injector opening pressure. Performance parameters (brake thermal efficiency, brake specific energy consumption, exhaust gas temperature, coolant load, and volumetric efficiency) and exhaust emissions [smoke levels and oxides of nitrogen [NOx]] were determined at various values of brake mean effective pressure of the engine. Combustion characteristics [peak pressure, time of occurrence of peak pressure, maximum rate of pressure rise] were determined at full load operation of the engine. Conventional engine (CE) showed compatible performance and LHR combustion chambers showed improved performance at recommended injection timing of 27 degrees bTDC and recommend injector opening pressure of 190 bar with CRBO operation, when compared with CE with pure diesel operation. Peak brake thermal efficiency increased relatively by 7%, brake specific energy consumption at full load operation decreased relatively by 3.5%, smoke levels at full load decreased relatively by 11% and NOx levels increased relatively by 58% with LHR-3 combustion chamber with CRBO at an injector opening pressure of 190 bar when compared with pure diesel operation on CE.

Jak wiadomo, oleje roślinne są obiecującym substytutem paliw ropopochodnych, ponieważ ich właściwości są podobne do oleju dieslowskiego, są odnawialne i łatwe do wyprodukowania. Niemniej, surowe oleje roślinne wykazują wady, takie jak wysoka lepkość i mała lotność, co wymaga komory spalania o małych stratach ciepła, której istotnymi cechami są m.in. wyższa temperatura robocza, maksymalne wydzielanie ciepła i zdolność do wykorzystania paliwa o mniejszej wartości kalorycznej (CV). Przeprowadzono eksperymenty mające na celu ocenę osiągów silnika z różnymi komorami spalania o małych stratach ciepła (LHR), takich jak głowica cylindra o pokryciu ceramicznym (LHR-1), tłok izolowany szczeliną powietrzną z denkiem ze stopu Superni (superstop niklu) i tuleją cylindra z wkładką z Superni izolowaną szczeliną powietrzną (LHR-2) oraz głowica cylindra z pokryciem ceramicznym, tłok i tuleja cylindra izolowane szczelinami powietrznymi (LHR-3). Badania prowadzono przy normalnej temperaturze oleju roślinnego (surowy olej z otrąb ryżowych, CRBO) i zmiennym ciśnieniu w otworze wtryskiwacza. Parametry osiagów silnika (użyteczna sprawność termiczna, użyteczny współczynnik zużycia energii, temperatura gazu wydychanego, obciążenie obiegiem chłodziwa i współczynnik napełnienia) oraz emisje wydechowe [poziomy dymu i tlenków azotu, NOx] zostały wyznaczone przy różnych wartościach średniego użytecznego ciśnienia w silniku. Charakterystyki spalania [ciśnienie szczytowe, czas występowania ciśnienia szczytowego, maksymalna szybkość wzrostu ciśnienia] zostały wyznaczone w warunkach pracy silnika z pełnym obciążeniem. W porównaniu z silnikiem napędzanym olejem diesla, silnik konwencjonalny (CE) wykazał podobne osiągi przy pracy z olejem roślinnym (CRBO), a w komorach spalania o małych stratach ciepła (LHR) uzyskano lepsze osiągi przy zalecanym kącie wtrysku 27b stopni TDC (przed górnym punktem zwrotnym) i zalecanym ciśnieniu w otworze wtryskiwacza równym 190 bar. Szczytowa użyteczna sprawność cieplna wzrosła relatywnie o 7%, użyteczny współczynnik zużycia energii zmalał o 3,5% przy pracy z pełnym obciążeniem, poziomy dymu przy pełnym obciążeniu zmalały o 11%, a poziom tlenków NOx wzrósł relatywnie o 58% w przypadku komory spalania typu LHR-3 napędzanej olejem roślinnym CBRO przy ciśnieniu w otworze wtryskiwacza 190 bar, w porównaniu z parametrami uzyskanymi przy pracy z czystym olejem diesla.
