Abstract

This study aims to test the performance of diesel engines at high loads and speeds using biodiesel from Virgin Coconut Oil ( VCO ) to reduce exhaust emissions with high performance, because diesel engines are often used in heavy duty. The method used is an experimental method using biodiesel from VCO mixed with pure diesel fuel with a percentage of 30% and 40% VCO as fuel for a four-cylinder diesel engine equipped with a fuel heater and tested at high load and speed of 35 kgf load and 3000 to 4000 rpm. The experimental data were then analyzed using excel and made in the form of a graph. The results showed that at 30% the higher the engine speed, the closer the performance to the use of pure diesel and exhaust emissions showed that a mixture of VCO and pure diesel could reduce exhaust emissions of carbon monoxide (CO ) and hydrocarbons ( HC ), while in the 40% mixture there is a decrease in exhaust emissions but lower performance. So it can be concluded that the use of VCO as biodiesel in a mixture of 30% and tested at high load and rotation produces performance that is close to the use of pure diesel and can reduce exhaust emissions of diesel engines so it is very good to use.
