    Introduction to Dual Fuel Engine

    The dual-fuel engine works on diesel cycle. The gaseous fuel (the primary
    fuel) is added to the air inducted by the engine or supplied by the
    supercharger at a pressure slightly above the atmospheric pressure. This
    mixture of air and gaseous fuel is compressed in the cylinder just like air
    in normal diesel operation. At some point in the compression stroke, near
    top dead center, a small charge of liquid fuel called pilot fuel (or the
    secondary fuel) is injected through a conventional diesel fuel system. This
    pilot acts as a source of ignition the gas-air mixture in the vicinity of the
    injected spray ignites at a number of flame-fronts. Thus combustion stars
    smoothly and rapidly. .
    What is DUAL FUEL ENGINE?

    In CI engine, gaseous fuel (secondary fuel) is


    inducted and compressed in the engine cylinder
    with air, and a small quantity of diesel ( Pilot fuel-
    primary fuel) is injected through the conventional
    diesel fuel system to ignite the mixture
    Why Dual fuel engine required ?
    • The shortage of liquid fuel and the realization that
    gaseous fuels are far cheaper than liquid fuels have led
    to attention on dual-fuel engine.
    • natural gas available to most of part of the world at rates
    cheaper than liquid fuels
    Dual fuel Engine Working
    THE WORKING PRINCIPLE
    Dual-Fuel Operation

    Dual-fuel operation is
    achieved by the burning
    of both a gaseous fuel
    and diesel at the same
    time in a CI engine
    Injection of small
    amount of diesel fuel can
    be used as an ignition
    source
    FACTORS AFFECTING
    COMBUSTION IN A DUAL-FUEL
    ENGINE
    1. Pilot fuel quantity
    2. Injection Timing.
    3. Cetane Number of Pilot Fuel.
    4. Inlet Temperature.
    5. Gaseous Fuels.
    6. Effect of Throttling.
    7. Mixture Strength
    KNOCK AND ITS CONTROL IN DUAL-
    FUEL ENGINE
    NATURE OF KNOCK: - The phenomenon of knock in a
    dual-fuel engine is of the nature of auto ignition of
    gaseous mixture in the neighborhood of injected spray.
    KNOCK IN DUAL-FUEL ENGINE CONTROLLED
    BY ANY OF THE FOOLOWING METHODS:-
    • Excess supply of air.
    • Use of cold combustion air.
    • Increased cooling of piston.
    • Reducing the pressure of the gaseous fuel.
    • Advantage of Dual- fuel
    Engine
    The dual fuel engine has the following advantages:
    • The gas burns without leaving any residue - exhaust is clean –
    less air pollution.
    • The clean combustion results in reduced wear of the engine
    parts and reduced consumption of lubricating oil. The
    lubricating oil change periods are also increased as the
    maximum pressure in cylinder are less than those for a diesel
    engine, thereby reducing the blow-by past piston. This reduces
    the contamination of the lube oil.
    • Lower initial cost and lower operating costs than a dedicated
    natural gas engine
    • Better fuel economy than a dedicated natural gas engine
    CONCLUSION

     The ignition delay in gas-fueled diesel engines of


    the dual-fuel type depends strongly on both the
    quantity and quality of the pilot fuel used.

    Dual-fuel engine performance is improved with the


    employment of high cetane number pilots.

    For stationary application, diesel substitution of 70%


    is possible by using dual fuel engine which is quite
    considerable and also economical
