CONVERSION OF PETROL ENGINE

TO GASEOUS FUEL ENGINE

Conversion of Petrol Engine to Gaseous EngineGas –Air MixingCompression Ratio

LPG, Natural Gas, Biogas, Producer gas CR=10-12Petrol CR=7.7-9.5

More Wear & Tear because of less lubricationConversion Leads to DERATING of engine

Reasons for Engine Derating

Lower calorific value of BiogasLower volumetric efficiencyHigher spark advance due to lower burning rate of Biogas

Conversion of Diesel Engine to

Gaseous fuel Engine

Modification of Engine-Dual fuel Mode Using Diesel

Gas CarburettorArrangements for supply of Diesel

Problems associated with Dual-Fuel Engine

Dual Fuel needs Diesel The Fuel Injector gets over heated when Diesel flow is reduce to 10 to 15 %It is more severe with purified Bio-gas (Methane 95 %)Check for injector nozzle.

Conversion of Diesel engine to

100% Biogas Engine (S.I.Mode)

Technical Details

Gas Consumption25kg of dung is required to generate 1 m3 of the gas The consumption of the gas is 0.8 -1.0 m3 / kWhr .

Power of the EngineDiesel engines converted to Biogas engine will get derated. Power generated by the converted biogas engine will be approximately 50%-55% in comparison to original diesel engine

Conclusions

100% Biogas engine can be supplied from 1.25 kVA to 10 kVAAn engine can be converted from3 kW to 20 kW on site. There is no need to take it to workshop. Diesel engine whether Single or Double

cylinder, Air cooled or Water cooled can be converted on site.
