“…The unsaturated fatty acid contents of the biodiesel fuels possess lower melting point in comparison to the saturated fatty acid compounds. As a result, the unsaturated compounds can be dissolved into saturated compounds and forms gelation at higher temperature of their melting points [121,122]. As a result; the biodiesel fuels which have more saturated fatty acid compounds (especially, the long chain saturated esters) display higher CP and PP.…”

“…Compared to mineral diesel, palm oil biodiesel has a higher cetane number by about 16% [17]. However, the high saturated fatty acid structures for palm oil biodiesel lead to poor cold flow properties of the fuel [18]. Compared to mineral diesel, palm oil biodiesel has a higher pour point (by more than 20 °C) [17], which is one of the major properties that limits the utilization of palm biodiesel fuels, especially in cold climates.…”

Abstract:In this study, the fuel properties and engine performance of blended palm biodiesel-diesel using diethyl ether as additive have been investigated. The properties of B30 blended palm biodiesel-diesel fuel were measured and analyzed statistically with the addition of 2%, 4%, 6% and 8% (by volume) diethyl ether additive. The engine tests were conducted at increasing engine speeds from 1500 rpm to 3500 rpm and under constant load. Optimization of independent variables was performed using the desirability approach of the response surface methodology (RSM) with the goal of minimizing emissions and maximizing performance parameters. The experiments were designed using a statistical tool known as design of experiments (DoE) based on RSM.

“…The encountered problems are related to the crystallized saturated fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) at low temperature that may cause operability problems, such as plugged filters and fuel lines. 36 Pour point (PP) and cold filter plugging point (CFPP) are important indices related to the lowtemperature operability of diesel fuels. The pour point is the temperature at which a fuel can no longer be poured due to gel formation, while the cold filter plugging point is the temperature at which a fuel jams the filter due to the formation of agglomerates of crystals.…”
