INTRODUCTION
Increasing consumption, Less production, Rising the price and High
pollution: The petroleum based oils are no more reliable in the future.
Alternative fuels seems to be a solution, but presently the cost of
production is high.
Another one is Dual Fuel Technology, but due to high pollution
rate, it also cant be a better solution.

If the combination of these two technologies give a Better,
Efficient, Reliable and Less Pollution engine, then it will be a new hope for future.

Dual Fuel Engine Technology

Dual-fuel Natural gas engines are based upon
diesel technology.
The primary fuel is natural gas and they are
designed to operate interchangeably with diesel as a pilot ignition source.

When idling these engines tend to operate on 100% diesel. As the
vehicle begins to move to full load performance, an increasing amount of natural gas replaces the diesel fuel up to 80%.

Dual Fuel Engine Characteristics

When an experiment on a 8 cylinder, 175kW, 4 Stroke Diesel engine
in dual fuel mode was carried out following results were obtained.
Operating Cost is less.
Power developed is slightly lower than diesel engine.

Lower CO2 emission up to 17%. Fuel consumption is increased by 32%. NOx & CO emission is increased.

Mahua Oil An alternative to Diesel

Now a days, Vegetable oil as a substitute for diesel is a main
concern of the renewable energy researchers.

Due to the increased demand of edible vegetable oils in India,
non-edible oils is preferred for the bio-diesel production.

In these aspects, Mahua Oil is a good Alternative fuel for the
diesel.

Mahua Oil
Mahua - A large deciduous tree found in south
Indian forests, yields fruits whose kernel contains 20 50 % oil.

This is then converted in to bio-diesel by the process
Trans esterification.
Among the various esters obtained by the processing, Methyl
ester of Mahua oil (MOME) is found to be the best choice due to low emissions and high efficiency.

Why MOME??
MOME has a higher thermal efficiency (28.31%) than diesel
(26.36%).
85% reduction in CO emission. 67% reduction in HC emission. 10% reduction in NOX emission. Exhaust Gas Temperature is High, means better combustion. Effective conversion of CO in to CO2.

MOME As A Pilot Fuel In Dual Fuel Engine

As MOME is a good alternative to the Diesel with better
emission control, it can be used as the pilot fuel in dual-fuel engine along with the LPG/CNG/Bio-Gas.
An experiment was carried out on a single cylinder 4 Stroke
diesel engine with 3.7kW power, using MOME as pilot fuel along with LPG.
Your Logo
Experiment Details:
The experiment was conducted on the engine using the diesel
and MOME as fuel at standard injection time of 240 b-TDC to provide basic line data.
Then it is repeated in the dual fuel mode for various injection
time of the MOME at various proportion of the LPG usage.

ENGINE SPECIFICATION

Experiment Details:
The engine was started with MOME as sole fuel and the load
was gradually increased to 50% of the full load.

Then the LPG was fumigated along with the air and the LPG
flow rate was varied up to the maximum value such that the engine does not knock.
After the engine tests at the injection time of 24 b-TDC, the
injection time was advanced to 27 and 30 b-TDC using shims.
Your Logo
Experiment Details:
The brake power of the engine was calculated by measuring
the engine speed and torque.

The fuel consumption per hour was calculated by measuring
fuel consumed per unit time.

From the brake power and fuel consumption, the brake
thermal efficiency of the engine was determined.

CONCLUSION
The fuel properties of MOME are closer to those of diesel fuel
and satisfy the biodiesel standards of many countries.

When MOME was used as sole fuel in the diesel engine, it
resulted in lower thermal efficiency and lower exhaust emissions such as CO, UBHC and smoke.
In dual fuel mode, the injection timing of 27 b-TDC results
in higher efficiency and lower CO, UBHC.
Your Logo
CONCLUSION
But the injection timing 27 b-TDC results in higher NOx
emission than the Diesel.

From the experimental results it is concluded that LPG can be
fumigated with the air in order to reduce the operating cost and to reduce the smoke and NOx emissions of biodiesel operated diesel engines.
Advancing the injection time to 27 b-TDC improves the
performance of dual fuel engines operated at part load.
