An experimental investigation of the influnce of higher octane number than engine requirement on engine performance and emissions

Bu çalışmada, motorun ihtiyacından yüksek oktanlı benzin kullanımının performans ve emisyonlar üzerine etkisi deneysel olarak incelenmiştir. Türkiye'de araç popülasyonun % 40'mı karbüratörlü taşıtların oluşturması nedeniyle test motoru olarak karbüratörlü bir motor seçilmiştir. 91 oktanlı benzine ihtiyaç duyan test motoru 91-RON ve 95-RON benzin kullanarak test edilmiştir. Sonuçlar, motorun ihtiyacından daha yüksek oktanlı benzin kullanımının sadece performansı düşürmediğini aynı zamanda egzoz emisyonlarını artırdığım ortaya koymaktadır.

Motorun ihtiyacından yüksek oktanlı benzin kullanımının motor performansı ve emisyonlar üzerine etkisinin deneysel incelenmesi

In this study, the effect of using higher-octane gasoline than that of engine requirement on performance and exhaust emission was experimentally studied. The test engine chosen Has fuel systems with carburetor because 40% of the vehicle population in Turkey have carburetor. The engine required 91-RON (Research Octane Number) gasoline was tested using 95-RON and 91-RON. Results show that using higher octane ratings than requirement on engine not only decreases engine performance but also increases exhaust emissions.
