Summary of Results from Stationary Engines Testing using
Palm Biodiesel/Petroleum Diesel Blends (B10, B20 and B50)
• Engine performances: similar to No.2 Diesel Fuel in
terms of thermal efficiency
• Higher fuel consumption was observed for the whole
engine loads and speeds
• All biodiesel blends have the tendency to reduce
CO2, CO, HC, particular matter and smoke emissions
for all engine loads and speeds except for NOx
emission.
• All biodiesel blends experienced a shorter ignition
delay than diesel fuel. The shorter ignition delay
indicates the better combustion of the fuel where the
fuel was ignited quickly after injection. Shorter
ignition delay reduced CO and HC emissions.
