  • Can used transformer oil be used to power a diesel engine?
  • Researchers used to power diesel engines using used oil from industry, including transformer oils, hydraulic oil, and brake fluids, have been obtained and washed, and used in many ways since the last decade . So, after re-refining waste transformer oil can be an important source of energy to meet the demand for fuel in India.
  • What is transformer oil?
  • Transformer oil is an industrial compound composed of hydrocarbons, solvents, heavy metals that are toxic to the atmosphere and impossible to extract or handle (soot, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), chlorinated paraffin, and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs).
  • Why is re-refining waste transformer oil important?
  • So, after re-refining waste transformer oil can be an important source of energy to meet the demand for fuel in India. In welding transformers, power transformers, and electromotive systems, transformer oil is commonly used as a coolant .
  • What is refined waste transformer oil (rwto)?
  • In the text, the refined waste transformer oil is designated as RWTO. All fuel properties with WTO and RWTO were compared with those of conventional diesel fuel (DF). All properties were close to those of DF. FTIR results revealed that the WTO is a diesel like hydrocarbon. The engine performance with WTO and RWTO was much better than that of DF.
  • What is the thermal efficiency of transformer oil compared to diesel fuel?
  • For higher blends i.e. for 30% and 40% blends of transformer oil and diesel has lower thermal efficiency than diesel fuel. It is 26.21% and 25.98% for 30% and 40% respectively at high load or at high brake power. This is occurred due to lesser calorific value of the transformer oil as compare to diesel fuel.
  • Can waste transformer oil be used as alternative fuel for CI engine?
  • The current study investigates the suitability for using waste transformer oil (WTO) as an alternative fuel for compression ignition (CI) engine. For this purpose different properties of the WTO were determined.
