In a note experience of JSC Kadnikosky of the Mamontovsky region of Altai Krai about work of agricultural machinery on a mix of diesel fuel with rape oil is described.
RIDDLE of the RAPE SEED
In JSC Kadnikovsky of the Mamontovsky region of Altai Krai the equipment filled with a mix of diesel fuel with rape oil works. The experts recognizing in this economy behind experience, technical calculations, extent of alteration of fuel system of the engine, an economic benefit interest.
The machine and tractor park in this economy works two years at biofuel. On DT-65 with a buldozerny hinge plate clear of road snow, MTZ tractors serve cattle-breeding farms. In the autumn on T-4, K-701 plow zyab, "Yenisei" successfully processed during the harvest. Practically all vehicle fleet passed to own fuel. Equipment work as always, losses in capacity it is not felt.
As to harm for motors, degree of their wear as experts of an economy explain – fears are vain. Wear is influenced by sulfur present at diesel fuel. Here the equipment works at a mix of equal shares of diesel fuel and rape oil, in such fuel it is twice less than sulfur, and therefore motororesurs the engine even increases. In the chamber of combustion appears to a certain limit, and there is a self-cleaning further.
Experts, farms are armed with all calculations which visually prove advantages of biofuel. Answers of experts of an economy are always reasoned and guests trust them willingly. Outages of technology in last cleaning wasn’t, it practically all fulfilled on fuel of own production.
Our main argument – in economy, is considered by experts of an economy and conclude: prime cost of liter of rape oil 4,3 rubles. The liter of diesel fuel costs 18 rubles, and mixes – about 11 rubles. Difference big. And it is possible to speak about what harm of rape oil, if Rudolf Diesel initially projected and created the engine for work on vegetable oil!
In use of more viscous, than diesel fuel, rape oil is three ways. Work on pure biofuel needs alteration – it is necessary to expand a spray opening at a nozzle. Other way – to lower viscosity of oil; in the winter for example, it is possible by means of the heat exchanger – heating of a fuel tank. In "Kadnikovsky" applied the third option – a diesel fuel mix with rape oil – a half on a half. Also it is not necessary to convert anything, it is not necessary a warming up, advancing injection. The mix proves to be perfectly and in the winter.
Rape oil cake (its kg costs in the market twenty rubles) – a high-albuminous forage for cattle. In a daily diet of local cows to 850 grams of an oil cake. Monthly milk brings more than one million rubles in economy treasury, and the doyny herd totals seven hundred heads. Then as this branch in a certain degree extend a rape.
In an economy last year under this culture 1000 hectares were occupied. The received seeds dry to demanded 6-7 % of humidity. Having reconsidered a lot of equipment including foreign, established domestic rape press ekstruder, which opening has less, than at the sunflower. On it it is possible to press quietly and sunflower oil. Seeds are loaded – and one line gives out oil (two liters a minute), another – an oil cake (the oil exit is higher, the concentration of protein in an oil cake is higher).
Upon purchase of seeds it is unprofitable to be engaged in rape fuel, consider in "Kadnikovsky". It is necessary to process the seeds if they will be bought by everything much more expensively. In this economy a rape grow up at itself. Processing at other enterprises increases cost of oil and efficiency of its use as diesel fuel will be close to zero. It is clear, that prime cost depends on productivity. The calculations given above are executed proceeding from productivity of ten centners maslosemyan from hectare which here receive.
In "Kadnikovsky" all equipment for processing of seeds occupies the space of 10X10 meters. Put the second line – doubled production. A third – trebled. To get such press to feasibly any farmer.
