LIQUID BIOFUELS FOR STATIONARY ENERGY GENERATION THE BIOLIQUIDS-CHP EU-RUSSIA PROJECT

摘要

A survey on available MGT suitable for the Bioliquids-CHP project purpose has been carried out,rncomparing technical characteristics towards needed modifications. The MGT architecture was carefully examined, asrnthe possibility to implement minor modifications largely depends on the type of MGT: issues such as combustion –rnchamber type, injector characteristics, fuel line, and control system, were the driving factor for comparing the variousrnoptions. The criteria which drove the selection of the MGT for the project were therefore summarised. Main fuelrnphysical and chemical characteristics were reported and compared towards standard fossil fuels as diesel oil orrnkerosene. A preliminary correlative study of droplet evaporation and combustion has been carried out, in order tornbetter understand the peculiarity of each bio-fuel, and data compared to experimental data by Istituto Motori-CNR inrnNaples, Italy. The only purpose of this activity is to derive preliminary indications about conversion strategies for thernMGT Combustion chamber. Finally, preliminary CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) work on the MGTrncombustion chamber was initiated.
