Abstract

The most popular alternative fuel is CNG. The primary goal of the work is to make natural gas usable at higher compression ratios. An engine with dual fuel can accomplish that. The goal of dual fuel research is to lessen the reliance of CI engines on diesel fuel. Diesel is used as a pilot fuel to start combustion, and natural gas is used as the primary gaseous fuel and is injected into the inlet manifold. A review of the literature revealed that the amount of CNG used affected the dual fuel engine's performance and emissions. Therefore, different substitutions are used to improve performance and lower emissions. This project converts a 4-stroke, single-cylinder CI engine to run on dual fuel. It also studies and compares the effects of switching to compressed natural gas (CNG) on emissions and performance to those of conventional diesel engines.
