Operating parameters and emission evaluation of tractors running on diesel oil and biofuel

Abstract

Müllerová D., Landis M., Schiess I., Jablonický J., Prístavka M., 2011. Operating parameters and emission evaluation of tractors running on diesel oil and biofuel. Res. Agr. Eng., 57 (Special Issue): S35-S42.This work is aimed at the evaluation of the operating parameters and emission of two tractors: Hürlimann H-488 DT and Hürlimann XB Max 100. The measurements were done on a test bench in the laboratory of the Agroscope Reckenholz-Tänikon Research Station ART, Ettenhausen, Switzerland during February 2010. The goal of this paper was to evaluate the operating parameters of the two models of tractors by using classical diesel oil and biofuel, as well as to evaluate the emission (greenhouse gases, dangerous exhaust gases and carcinogens), to make statistical analysis of the results and the conclusion about the samples used and the impact on engine parameters, environment and human health. From the results achieved, it is possible to state the following facts. In each way, the emissions of rape seed methylester (RME) and diesel are equivalent. The values of CO and HC and also particles are lower for RME. But NO x values are lower for diesel oil. It is liquid that the newer engine of Hürlimann XB Max 100 decreases emission of CO, HC and NO x significantly.

Exhaust emissions of non-road mobile machine: Real-world and laboratory studies with diesel and HVO fuels

“…The products are called fatty acid methyl esters (FAME). The laboratory measurements have shown that CO, HC, PM and particle number (PN) emissions reduced while NOx emissions increased when ~100 kW tractors were operating with biodiesel compared to diesel fuel [30][31]. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) emissions decreased as well [32].…”

Efeito de diferentes concentrações de biodiesel nas emissões gasosas de um trator agrícola em operação

“…Poucos trabalhos determinaram as emissões de um trator agrícola em operação e sua contribuição na poluição atmosférica. No presente estudo as emissões foram determinadas em condições reais de campo, o que implica, segundo Müllerová et al (2011), que emissões são diretamente dependentes das diferentes características inerentes ao tipo de trator utilizado e seu motor, operação que o conjunto realiza, ano de fabricaçao do trator, etc.…”

Drawbar Parameters of Tractor with Prototypes of Driving Wheels and Standard Tyres

“…The description of HMG 3010 is presented in work published by Müllerová et al (2012). The technical parameters and specification of the tractor Mini 070 equipped with different wheel types and the tractor TZ-4K-14 used for loading (braking) of the first one is presented by Abrahám et al (2015).…”
