Internal Combustion Engine Powered by Synthesis Gas from Pyrolysed Plastics

Abstract

The article discusses the application of synthesis gas from pyrolysis of plastics in petrol engine. The appropriate experimental measurements were performed on a combustion engine LGW 702 designated for micro-cogeneration unit. The power parameters, economic parameters in term of brake specific fuel consumption, and internal parameters of the engine were compared to the engine running on the reference fuel - natural gas and synthesis gas. Burning synthesis gas leads to decreased performance by about 5% and to increased mass hourly consumption by 120 %. In terms of burning, synthesis gas has similar properties as natural gas. Compared with [5] a more detailed study has been prepared on the effects of angle of spark advance on the engine torque, giving more detailed assessment of engine cycle variability and considering specification of start and end of combustion in the logarithm p-V diagram.

Studies on Improvement of Performance of Compression Ignition Engine Fuelled with Mixture of Honge Biodiesel and Tire Pyrolysis Oil

“…Chríbik Andrej used synthesis gas produced from pyrolysis of plastics, in petrol engine and they suggested that the synthesis gas has similar properties as natural gas, in terms of burning. They reported that burning synthesis gas leads to decreased performance by about 5% and to increased mass hourly consumption by 120 % [17]. Few researchers reported that the fluids injection has a crucial influence on the internal flows [18].…”

Effect of Exhaust Gas Recirculation on Performance of a Diesel Engine Fueled with Waste Plastic Oil / Diesel Blends

“…Most of the research work has been done by mixing oil developed from waste plastic disposal with heavy oil for marine application. The results showed that waste plastic pyrolysis oil when mixed with heavy oils reduces the viscosity comparatively and improves the engine performance [1,6,9]. …”
