Performance Of Internal Combustion Engine Using Fuel From Biomass
The use of biomass for energy generating is getting increasing attention because of the energy reserves such as gas and oil is decreasing. At present, biomass gasification is taken as a popular technical route to produce fuel gas for application in engine. The use of producer gas as an alterna...

| description | The use of biomass for energy generating is getting increasing attention because of
the energy reserves such as gas and oil is decreasing. At present, biomass gasification is
taken as a popular technical route to produce fuel gas for application in engine. The use of
producer gas as an alternative to diesel in engines has advantage from both economic and
environmental perspective. The sources of biomass are easy to found and the biomass energy
reduce the level of disposal and pollution in this world. Today, with this renewable energy
technologies petroleum or diesel consumption can be reduced and substituted partly by
alternative fuels in engine. The objective of this project is to assembly the experimental rig of
a diesel engine using producer gas from gasification system and also to present some
experimental result. The 20 kWth downdraft gasifier was used to produce gas with off-cut
furniture wood with moisture content 6.2% used as biomass material. Cussons Single
Cylinder Engine Test Bed which consists of Yanmar L60AE-DTM single cylinder diesel
engine and dynamometer has also been used in this experiment. The combustion
characteristic and performance characteristic for diesel engine and mixture of diesel and
producer gas were compared. The result indicated that dual fuel engine has similar
combustion characteristic to diesel engine. The performance of dual fuel engine is lower
compared to diesel engine. The usage of producer gas in diesel engine can reduce the
consumption of diesel fuel for combustion process which is about 170%. In addition, studies
using blend of diesel and waste cooking oil are presented for comparison. |
