EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF EMISSION CHARACTERISTIC OF DUAL FUEL SI ENGINE

MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

Dual fuel engines are engines which are capable of running by taking two fuels. On the spark ignition engines, one of the fuels is gasoline, and the other is an alternate fuel such as LPG. The two fuels are stored in the separate tanks and the engine runs on one fuel at a time. Dual fuel engines have capability to switch back and forth from gasoline to other fuel manually or automatically. A dual fuel engine kit consists of carburetor, gate valve, LPG reducer, LPG tank and fuel tank. This project deals with the fabrication of dual fuel engine and practical experimentation of emission character. After fabricating the engine with the kit other accessories were fabricated. When the set up is done, And the emission test for both fuels is also done. Then we need to compare the results and conclude on the effectiveness of the individual fuels and advantages of using the dual fuel engine.
