The impacts of diesel and canola biodiesel fuels on noise emission on diesel engines

In this study, biodiesel was produced by converting canola oil to biodiesel by transesterification method. The obtained canola biodiesel (B100) and diesel fuel (D100) were tested in a single-cylinder, four-stroke, water-cooled diesel engine to investigate noise emissions. In each fuel, the engine was operated under full load and as a result of the tests, noise values were measured at a distance of 50 cm from the four different points of the test engine and compared with the use of diesel fuel. During the noise emission measurements, the engine was brought to the test conditions in TS 1231 standard and the data were taken. The experiment values have complied with TS EN 590 for diesel fuel and TS EN 14214 for canola biodiesel.As a result of the experiments, it was determined that B100 fuel was the ideal fuel type regarding noise emissions.
