Influence of Renewable Fuel on Output Generator Set

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of ethanol-methanol fuel on long fuel consumption, and the effect of loading on generator set rpm, Carbon Monoxide (CO), Carbon Dioxide (CO₂), and HC generator set exhaust emissions. The test uses a General ET 2500 C generator set, a maximum output power of 1200 watts, and current output. The fuel used is G100, E100, E 75+M25 , E50+M50 , E25+M75 and M100. The test results are as follows, the greatest decrease in rpm with increasing load is using M100 fuel, and the smallest is using E25+M75 fuel. The biggest decrease in fuel consumption with increasing load is E25+M75 fuel, the smallest is using M100 fuel. The type of fuel is not affected by voltage or amperage. The last increase in CO is using E-100 fuel, the smallest CO emission is 2.12% using E-100 fuel with a load of 100 watts. Testing the generator set loading 100 watts obtained the highest HC of 988 ppm, and when loading 500 watts the highest HC was 1161 ppm. The CO2 level at 100 watts loading was 12.4% using E75+M25 fuel, at the largest 500 watts CO2 loading was 9.3% using E100 fuel.)
