✦ Synopsis
For partial substitution of conventional diesel fuel with liquified-petroleum gas (LPG) fuel, in an indirect-injection, (IDI) diesel engine, the so-called 'mixed diesel gas' approach has been applied. For this purpose, a carburetted LPG fuel system has been designed and fitted on the inlet manifold of the engine. Extensive performance tests have been carried out at full load conditions of both the pure diesel and dieselkLPG engines. The results show that, at the rated speed, and at equal power of both engines, increasing the LPG proportion in the dual fuel decreases specific fuel consumption, exhaust gas temperature and black smoke but increase pollutants such as UHC and CO, cylinder peak pressure and the rate of pressure rise.
