| Abstract: | Transesterified soya bean oil
(SBO) was tested for lubrication, wear, corrosion, thermal and oxidation
properties. Biodegradable
additives [palm oil methyl
ester (POME), castor oil (CO)] were added to soya bean methyl ester (SBME) to
improve
wear resistance and oxidation
stability. Various SBO formulations (crude SBO, SBME, SAE 40+SBME,
SBME+POME+CO)
were used as lubricants in
diesel engines and sump oil temperature was measured and compared with SAE 40.
SBOs showed
physico-chemical properties
similar to those of commercial mineral oil. Engine performance and lube oil
temperature were not
significantly different for
SBO forms as compared to manufacturer’s recommended oil. SBME blends
(SBME+CO+POME,
SAE 40+SBME) were observed to be used as crankcase oils. |
