Abstract

Based on many regulations the biofuels are widely used in combustion engines. The operational parameters, such as performance parameters or emission production, are often monitored. The essence of changes to these operational parameters is related to the effect of biofuels on the course of cylinder pressure inside the combustion chamber. The contribution deals with the effect of biobutanol-sunflower oil-diesel fuel blends on the performance parameters, the behaviour of the cylinder pressure of the compression ignition engine during combustion, and exhaust gas temperature. Biobutanol-sunflower oil-diesel fuel blends in ratios of 10–20–70% and 20–20–60% were used as test fuels, with diesel fuel used as a reference. Turbocharged four-cylinder inline CI engine Zetor 1204 installed in the tractor Zetor Forterra 8642 was used for measurement. Based on the results, it can be stated that with higher amount of butanol in the fuel mixture, the maximum value of cylinder pressure decreases, especially at a high engine load.
