The gas-air mixing systems for the industrial gas engine fuelled with low quality gas

Abstract

Modifications of standard fuel system for an industrial gas engine and an analysis of the engine operation on low quality fuel have been described in this paper. The implemented fuel system modifications aim to overcome the challenges which arise when standard fuel gas is replaced by low quality one. Analysis focuses on stability of mixture formation esp. on variations in gas distribution for each cylinder of the engine. The results and discussion include also emissions optimization impact on efficiency as well as the efficiency and emissions level dependency on fuel type.
