Abstract:
Known the lubricating characteristics of biodiesel, a review is made of the chemical structure of different types of synthetic oil bases, specifically synthetic esters, compared to the chemical structure of fatty acid methyl esters (FAME). Once the similarities between these molecular structures have been determined, a comparison of physical characteristics is made, which allow determining that biodiesel is a synthetic biolubricant base, but also B100 in an oil for 4-stroke engines; applies virtually to processed biodiesel from any type of raw material. An experimental test was carried out by means of a functional prototype with a diesel engine running with B100 as fuel, but also running with B100 in the engine crankcase, as biolubricant; The test also includes the procedure by which the same B100 that lubricates the engine is extracted from the crankcase and taken to the fuel injection pump for the operation of the same engine. A video of a working prototype is provided. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XyZ12nph2KfRE3kbMG_UtTCV2RNfr_p9/view?usp=sharing
