Özet

In this study, phthalocyanines as fuel additives were added to petrol fuel at different ratios by volume and tested in terms of engine performance and exhaust emissions. In the experimental study, the change in engine torque of PG5, PG15, and PG25 blended fuels compared to gasoline fuel was 3.5% decrease, 0.37% increase, and 3.59% increase, respectively. Specific fuel consumption decreased by 6.09% for PG5 fuel, 3.53% for PG15 fuel, and 5.08% for PG25 fuel compared to petrol fuel. Exhaust gas temperature increased by 7.18%, decreased by 0.39%, and decreased by 3.31% with the use of PG5, PG15, PG25 fuels compared to petrol fuel, respectively. CO emissions of PG5, PG15, and PG25 blended fuels decreased by 58.88%, 46.99%, and 53.19% respectively compared to gasoline fuel. HC, CO2, and NOx emissions of blended fuels increased compared to petrol fuel. Phthalocyanines additives are a type of fuel additive that can help to reduce both fuel consumption and harmful emissions. This can lead to a decrease in vehicle-related environmental pollution.
