DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF A NOVEL MFUCG

摘要

Design and development of MFUCG (Multi-Fuel Usage Capability Gasifier) equipment to convert liquid vegetable oils, alcohols (Ethanol and Methanol) and (Bio-Fuels) into gases is done by using the Ultra sonic Atomizing unit is designed and with the supply of 48 volts DC supply through battery. This modified Ultra sonic Atomizing unit itself is the MFUCG (Multi-Fuel Usage Capability Gasifier) equipment and used for gasifying the vegetable oils, alcohols (Ethanol and Methanol) and (Bio-Fuels) into gases. This MFUCG is fitted to the heat exchanger, an equipment which is also designed and developed and called as Convective Super Heater which is connected before the carburetor in SI Engine (Petrol Engine). In the Convective Super Heater the vapors of vegetable oils, alcohols (Ethanol and Methanol) and Bio-Fuels are further super-heated the vapors before enters into the carburetor. In this Convective Super Heater the hot exhaust gaseous are used to super heat the vapors before exhausting to atmosphere through silencer. Using these MFUCG (Multi-Fuel Usage Capability Gasifier) equipment and Convective Super Heater the vegetable oils, alcohols (Ethanol and Methanol) and Bio-Fuels can be converted into gases and then used just like LPG in petrol engines. It is found that there is a drastic reduction of emissions like toxic aldehydes and other gases, like carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons, from exhaust gases.
