This study presents experimental test results of a compressed natural gas (CNG) direct injection (DI) engine, which has been developed by modifying a single cylinder diesel engine. The major modifications are (a) modification of components such as cylinder head, piston etc. and (b) development and deployment of electronic fuel injection system and (c) installation of a capacitive discharge igni...

Existing diesel engines are under stringent emission regulation particularly of smoke and particulate matter in their exhaust. Compressed Natural Gas and Diesel dual fuel operation is regarded as one of the best ways to control emissions from diesel engines and simultaneously saving petroleum based diesel fuel. Dual fuel engine is a conventional diesel engine which burn either gaseous fuel or d...

Availability changes with crank angle at the optimum engine operating point of 4000 rpm and WOT for CNG fuelling, CNG and gasoline engine operations at optimal engine conditions with the equivalence ratio Φ = 1.1, distribution of fuel availability of CNG and gasoline fuelled engine at equivalence ratio of Φ = 1.1, entropytemperature diagram for the engine optimal operating point and CNG fuellin...

The first step in dealing with the behavior of an engine on NG mode is the installation of a suitable gas fueling system on the engine. Two generations of gas fueling systems which were studied and installed on research engine were Mixer type and Sequential system type. The results, including performance, emissions and fuel consumption, were recorded and analyzed. The results showed that the...

In this paper, nonlinear dynamical black-box models of a common rail injection system for a CNG engine are developed. In particular, the common rail pressure dynamics is modeled on the basis of three input signals, easily and cheaply measurable on board a vehicle. The nonlinear model is identified by means of Multi Layer Perceptron neural networks. Both non-autoregressive (NMAX) and autoregress...

The studies of CNG/gasoline dual-fuel engine system model are relatively few. The design deficiencies of CNG/gasoline dual-fuel engine speed controller exist. In this paper, the design and simulation of CNG/gasoline engine speed controller based on Matlab were put forward. On the basis of reasonable CNG engine model, the digital PID speed controller and adaptive fuzzy PID speed controller model...

In order to use gaseous fuels in Diesel Engines, Dual-Fuel Diesel Engine (D. F. D. E) the pilot injection approach is chosen. To predict its performance, an engine cycle model, based on limited-pressure Diesel cycle, is constructed. The model predicts D. F. D. E performance with LPG, and CNG gases. Comparing with pure Diesel engine, by increasing gas proportion in dual-fuel, indicated power and...
