Abstract

This article examines compression ignition engine, working with the first generation (RME – rapeseed methyl ester) and the second generation (HVO – hydrotreated vegetable oil) biodiesel and diesel (compliant with LST EN 590 standard) mixtures, ecological parameters. The article describes the research methodology, the equipment used and the test results. It has been found that the use of biodiesel and diesel blends reduces soot, the highest change is recorded using the RME50 / HVO50 mixture.
