Utilization of coconut oil as fuel

Coconut oil can be used directly into diesel fuel properly. Coconut oil has a viscosity of 50-60 centi stokes, while diesel 50 centi stokes. At temperatures between 80-90 degrees Celsius, coconut oil has a viscosity equivalent to diesel. One of the innovations be developed Department of Agricultural Engineering, IPB is by utilizing the exhaust temperature to change the oil viscosity to match the diesel. Exhaust flue gas has a temperature of 350-360 degrees Celsius so that the necessary cooling coil to lower exhaust temperatures. Then the coconut oil through a tube is passed through the exhaust before heading to the diesel engine combustion chamber.

This way is certainly less expensive than utilizing kokodiesel, namely palm oil that has been through an industrial process to be converted into biodiesel. Kokodiesel current price is around Rp. 10,000 per liter, while coconut oil is not through the treatment process can be much cheaper. In addition, oil is a plant that is commonly grown in coastal areas, making it a potential source of fuel for local fishermen who tend to have difficulty fuels, both price and availability issues.

Coconut oil is used is coconut oil which has been through a heating process to remove free fatty acids.
