Refinement
technologies of biodiesel |
|
Biodiesel
oil bears with superior advantages of low particulate matter, smoke,
CO, CO2, PAH, nPAH emissions, etc. and is considered as
environment-friendly alternative fuel for diesel engines or other combustion
equipments. We have succeeded in refining soybean oil to biodiesel oil and
completed the diesel engine and furnace testing for our refined biodiesel oil.
The study on refining process from used cooking oil to biodiesel is working on
as well. The current emphasis of this study is to improve biodiesel properties
by using advanced refining technologies. We have received one ROC¡¦s invention
patent for one of our refining technique. ¡@ |

Refinement
technologies of diesel form used lubricating |
|
We have successfully refine diesel
fuel from used lubricating oil and fishing- boat fuel by using a serial of
physical-chemical processes. ¡@ |

Two-and three-phases
diesel emulsions |
|
Studies on emulsification, combustion and emission characteristics of
oil-in-water-in-¡]O/W/O¡^three-phase
emulsions, water-in-oil two phase emulsions. Three-phase emulsions currently are
limited to the applications on cosmetics, food, and pharmaceutics fields.
Professor C. Y. Lin is likely to be the first researcher to investigate the
potentials for using O/W/O three phase emulsions as alternative fuel for diesel
engines, furnaces, and other combustion equipments. ¡@ |

Micro-emulsions studies |
|
For the purpose of enhance emulsion
characteristics; we have been working on the micro-emulsion studies. We hope
emulsion can be more practically used as fuel in power-plant systems, ships and
vehicles.

Improvement of diesel engine performance and pollution reduction technologies |
|
A diesel engine of four-stroke, four-cylinder, naturally aspirated air
accompanied with an eddy-current dynamometer, and automatic date acquiring
system is employed for experiments. A particulate matter sampling meter, a
gas analyzer, a smoke meter, and a VOCs analyzer are also used for emission measurements. ¡@ |

Evaluations for air-pollution prevention technology and strategies for mobile
pollution sources. |
| ¡@
Environment Prevention
Administration of our government financially supports these studies. Both
the calculation of amount of pollution reduction and analysis of cost
effectiveness for technologies or strategies taken to reduce air pollution
from vehicles or marine vessels are considered.

Inter-field studies on both combustion and high-temperature corrosion
characteristics of industrial furnaces.
|
| The
effects of fuel contents and environmental variation on combustion, emission and
corrosion characteristics of metallic material attacked by high-temperature
burning gas in an industrial furnace are experimentally investigated. ¡@ |
