EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON UTILIZATION OF BIOGAS IN IC ENGINE

In recent years man’s dependency on energy has increased rapidly mainly because of the increase in the living standards and use of advance technologies, So that non ‐ renewable fossil fuel reserves being exhausted and there are issues related to their GHG (Green House Gas) emissions such as, carbon m onoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), and methane (CH4), it has become essential to look forward the use of renewable or inexhaustible fuels to trim down the trouble on our non renewable fuels and for resolving the problem of emissions. In this work, perform ance and emission parameter were investigated on a single cylinder four stroke diesel engine. This engine was modified to run with Biogas &Diesel in dual fuel mode .The experimental results show that 25% diesel save at low load and emission of CO2,CO and H C slightly increases with increasing load. Exhaust gas temperature also increases with load in both fuel modes (Diesel as well as Diesel - Biogas)
