A Study on the Combustion of Blended Fuel Oil in a Diesel Engine for Small-Sized Fishing Boat

소형 어선용 디이젤 기관의 혼합연료유 연소에 관한 연구

In this paper, an investigation of the property of blended fuel oil, combustion characteristics and engine performance was made, in case blended fuel oil(light oil+heavy oil) was used in a home-made precombustion diesel engine for small-sized fishing boat. The results may be summarized as follows: 1. The specific gravity was linearly increased in accordance with the increase in heavy oil ratio in blended fuel oil, and the relationship between viscosity and temperature was coincided with the formula of Walther-ASTM, and the CCAI, the ignition quality index, was increased nearly as a straight line of the gradient 1.0. 2. The ignition delay was slightly increased below 810 of CCAI(blending ratio to be 60% of heavy oil), but remarkably increased above 810 of CCAI. Therefore, it was considered that the practicable value of CCAI, ignition quality of blended fuel oil, was more than 810. 3. The maximum combustion pressure was increased until blending ratio of heavy oil was raised up to 40%. On the contrary, it came to be decreased at that ratio, with smoke emissions remarkably increasing above 60%. Therefore, it was found in this experiment that the best practicable limit of heavy oil blending ratio was around 50% for saving fuel costs with least smoke emissions.

국산 소형어선용 예연소실식 디이젤기관에 혼합연료유(정유+중유)를 사용할 경우 혼합연료유의 성질, 연소특성 및 기관성능에 관하여 실험한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1) 혼합연료유의 혼합비율(중량비율)이 증가함에 따라 비중은 선형적으로 증가하였고, 점도-온도 곡선은 Walther-ASTM 식과 일치하였으며, 착화성지수인 CCAI의 값은 기울기 1.0에 가까운 직선으로 증가하였다. 2) 동일운전조건에서 착화지연은 CCAI의 값이 810(혼합비율 60%)까지는 미소하게 증가하였으나, 그 이상의 값에서는 현저하게 증가하였다. 따라서, 혼합연료유의 착화성을 나타내는 CCAI의 값은 810 이상에서 적용하는 것이 타당하다. 3) 연소최고압력은 혼합비율 40%까지 증가하다가 감소하였으며, 그을음농도는 60%부터 현저하게 증가하였으므로, 본 실험에서 무그을음 연료비절감의 안전운전 혼합비율은 50%가 적당하다
