Abstract

The aim of this research was to find out the possibility of using biogas in diesel engine and how much diesel fuel can be saved. Electricity generation unit (Engine- Generation) fueled in both conventional and dual mode. In dual mode, biogas was mixed with air and supplied with required quantity into the engine cylinder with the help of control valve and mixing device. The unit was tested to determine the engine performance characteristics, fuel consumption (fc), specific fuel consumption (sfc), thermal efficiency (), volumetric efficiency (), and CO emissions. The results showed that both thermal and volumetric efficiencies in dual mode were lower than conventional mode by 28% and 11%, respectively. Fuel saving has been achieved 40% when the unit was run at (4.5) kW load.
