Regulating characteristics of a diesel engine working on natural gas

Abstract

The article presents regulating characteristics of a diesel engine according to the fuel injection advance angle during the work of engine on a gas-diesel process. Currently, for many manufacturers the task of reducing production costs is a key priority. In agriculture the essential expenditure item is made up of costs for mobile power facilities fuel. One way to decrease these costs is to use alternative, cheaper fuels. Natural gas is one of them. Diesel is the most common type of engine in agriculture. Though a lot of research on converting diesel engines to natural gas have been carried out, the problem of transition of high performance diesel engines of low dimension to natural gas is still understudied. Diesel D-245.7 (4CHN11/12.5) was taken as the object for the research. The aim of study is converting diesel to a gas-diesel process. Carrying out bench tests with recording regulating characteristics according to the fuel injection advance angle was one of the research stages. As the result of the bench tests there have been established the parameters of the combustion process, heat release characteristics, and effective indicators at different fuel injection advance angles when working on diesel and gas-diesel process.

Cost, Emission, and Macroeconomic Implications of Diesel Displacement in the Saudi Agricultural Sector: Options and Policy Insights

“…Reducing emissions in this sector usually requires an examination of all farming activities that result in externalities, such as plowing, tilling, manuring and irrigation (Jaiswal and Agrawal 2020). Carbon taxes or emission caps in the agricultural sector will trigger the search for alternatives to current business-as-usual activities such as, for example, converting diesel engines to use both diesel and natural gas (Grebnev et al 2020). In some countries where the carbon tax is significantly high, such as Sweden (125 $/ton), traditionally expensive technologies not typically used in the agricultural sector, like hydrogen electrolyzers, become financially viable (Janke et al 2020).…”
