Abstract:
The EC has set a target to increase the share of combined heat and power (CHP) in the European energy supply. The fuelling of pyrolysis oil in conventional diesel engines is challenging, but it could be an interesting option for CHPunits in the capacity range of 50 – 1,000 kWe. This application has been studied experimentally using a small, 1cylinder test engine. Main modification of the engine concerns the fuel injection system, which has been completely reconstructed from stainless steel. Subsequently a number of experiments have been carried out to determine engine performance and flue gas emissions. The engine was operated at 1,800 rpm and air preheating to 150 °C was required to achieve complete combustion of the pyrolysis oil. Finally, a successful run of 12 hours was carried out.
