Development of a program for converting diesel engines to natural gas

Abstract

For the transfer of diesel engines to work on compressed natural gas, a program of experimental research of diesel engines is presented, including the development and optimization of natural gas supply and control systems, determination of effective indicators and indicators of toxicity and smoke content of exhaust gases, determination of the actual pressure of the working fluid in the diesel cylinder with the processing of indicator diagrams, analysis of the parameters of the combustion process and heat release, selection and description of the necessary equipment for bench experimental studies.
