W artykule przedstawiono wyniki badań zadymienia spalin silnika o zapłonie samoczynnym AD3.152 zasilanego olejem rzepakowym (OR)oraz jego mieszaninami z eterem dietylowym (DEE). Wszystkie niezbędne badania wykonano w warunkach ustalonych dla wybranych prędkości obrotowych wału korbowego tj. 1000, 1500 i 2000 obr/min oraz obciążeń 40, 80 i 120 Nm. Uzyskane wyniki potwierdzają, że dodatek eteru dietylowego w objętości 40% do oleju rzepakowego zmniejsza zadymienie spalin nawet o ok. 50% w stosunku do silnika zasilanego olejem rzepakowym.

Remotely operated underwater vehicles (ROUVs) have been attracting more attention lately as they are considered to be operationally versatile, capable of real-time communication, and can be fitted with various sensor payloads for environmental monitoring purposes. This study presents the design, development, and field validation of a sensor-enhanced ROUV platform tailored for environmental monitoring and aquaculture applications. The vehicle is equipped with a modular set of sensors for temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), and electrical conductivity (EC) along with separate signal-conditioning circuits for each sensor and real-time data acquisition from tethered architecture. The general system concept is modularity, reproducibility, and robustness in a marine environment. In situ measurements were performed at an active aquaculture site in the North Aegean Sea throughout several seasons during 2025. Using this system, depth-resolved measurements were obtained with sensor accuracies of ±0.1 °C (temperature), ±0.05 pH units, ±0.05 mg/L (dissolved oxygen), and ±2% (electrical conductivity). The following sections describe the development and aquaculture testing of the platform, which yielded stable and repeatable operation in real conditions.
