The purpose of this work is to evaluate the performance characteristics of MPFI engine under variety of operating conditions, before and after it has been converted to compressed natural gas (CNG). Gasoline engines can run on gaseous Juel with little modifications. Natural gas being a lean bum fuel, needs a higher spark advance compared to conventional spark ignition (SI) engine designed for gasoline Juel. A comparative analysis of the performance characteristics of the engine system has been made with respect to different spark advance (SA). In this study, experiments were carried out to evaluate brake thermal efficiency, brake specific fuel consumption, air-fuel ratio and brake power for compressed natural gas (CNG) fuelled SI engine. Studies were carried out to evaluate optimum spark timing to operate on CNG. |
