Effect Of Supercharging And Turbocharging In A Multi Cylinder Low Speed Spark Ignition Engine Fuelled By Producer Gas

Producer gas has been used successfully in diesel engine with diesel replacement of 60 – 70% but suffers 20 – 30% power de-rating. On the other hand, fully fuelled producer gas in spark ignition (SI) engine suffered significantly high power de-rating about 40 – 70% which makes it undesirable. This r...

On the other hand, fully fuelled producer gas in spark ignition (SI) engine suffered significantly high power de-rating about 40 – 70% which makes it undesirable. This research was done to improve producer gas fuelled SI engine in term of brake power, brake thermal efficiency, specific energy consumption, exhaust gas temperature, exhaust gas emissions and economic analysis by means of supercharging and turbocharging both producer gas and air.

Speed of producer gas fuelled engine in naturally aspirated (NA) and supercharged (SC) mode was maintained at 1500 rpm, while operation of turbocharged (TC) mode was fixed at 3000 rpm.
