Experimental study of an internal combustion engine fueled by a low-calorific value producer gas

Abstract This paper describes an experimental study of the operation internal combustion engine fueled by a low-calorific value gas. The main operating parameters low-power ICE were determined. Efficiency was also evaluated when converted to operate on producer In experiment, it shown that reached stable mode under load and data temperature exhaust gases composition obtained. According our estimates, in steady-state with load, efficiency factor about 22 %. When using model gas, from generator output power, 30-40 % nominal value, variable conditions. However, found operation, power 40-55% value.
