A Study on Application of Biogas as fuel in Compression Ignition Engines
نویسندگان
چکیده
Biogas derived from organic wastes is considered as good alternative to petroleum fuels. It can be used in compression ignition (CI) engines, because of its better mixing ability with air and clean burning nature. Biogas is produced by anaerobic digestion of various organic substances such as kitchen wastes, agricultural wastes, municipal solid wastes, cow dung etc., in absence of oxygen, which offers low cost and low emissions than any other secondary fuels. It can be a supplemented to liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and compressed natural gas (CNG), if it is used in compressed form in cylinders. This study reviews the current status and perspectives of biogas production, its’ up gradation through purification & storage methods and its engine applications. Here through detailed literature review, the combustion characteristics of biogas in compression ignition engines are investigated. Key wordsAnaerobic digestion, Biogas, Dual fuel, HCCI, I.C engine, C.I engine.
