A study from St Peter's engineering college and Anna University in Chennai, India, concluded that orange essential oil (extracted from orange fruits) can be mixed with diethyl ether to make fuel instead of diesel engine The study, published in the international report on engine research, claims a reduction of 8% in nitrous oxide and smoke emissions It is said that the thermal efficiency of orange essential oil is increased by 3% instead of diesel engine fuel At the same time, the pressure and heat release of double cylinder will be increased to achieve the overall improvement effect On the other hand, the gaseous nitrogen hydrogen compounds and carbon monoxide increase slightly, but these two pollutants are absolutely not the focus The researchers are still in the process of further research and experiment, hoping to apply this conclusion to practice as soon as possible.
