Pengujian Alat Penghemat Bahan Bakar Pada Mesin Diesel Dengan Bahan Bakar Campuran Solar dan Minyak Jarak Ditinjau dari Aspek Metal Content dan Viskositas Minyak Pelumas

Abstract

The use of diesel and castor oil mixtures as an alternative energy source with an Electrolizer HHO fuel saver device influence engine performance especially for the metal content and viscosity of lubrication. There still a little information on observation of analyzing the impact in the machine use reviewed from the metal content and viscosity of lubricant in the combustion engine. The objective of this observation is to determine the effect of using the electrolizer HHO fuel saver device with fuel mixture between diesel and castor oil toward the machine and comparing its metal content and viscosity between using the electrolizer HHO fuel saver device and without using it. The testing of electrolizer HHO fuel saver device is using Isuzu Panther 2300 cc machine with SAE 40 lubricants. From laboratory testing resulted that its viscosity has influenced as 1 centipoises (cP) and metal content testing when using the electrolizer HHO fuel saver device has value degraded of metal content Cr, Cu, Pb, Fe, Mn, Mg and increase of metal worn down of Ni = 3.472 %, Zn = 0.101 %. The escalation value toward metal Ni and Zn is not significantly influenced toward the machine considered to be normal limitation.
