Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) and Natural Gas (NG) as fuels on Diesel engine -Dual fuel engine

摘要

Alternative energy use can help preserve the delicate ecological balance of the planet and help us conserve the non renewable energy sources like fossil fuels. In order to replace the fossil fuels with other fuels more efficient, economical and less harmful to the environment in terms of the transportation sector, the technology of conversion engine has been evolved so that the engines can run on LPG. In these conversions is common to be used CNG (compressed natural gas) or LPG (liquid petroleum gas) for conversions types of dual-fuel. This work deals with the examination of a four stroke Diesel engine from the viewpoint of pollution and funcion, using as fuels diesel-LPG and diesel-CNG. A series of laboratory instruments were used for the realisation of the experiments.
