Initial assessment of the course of combustion process in a diesel engine powered by diesel oil and Brown's gas

Abstract

Application of water electrolyzer generating Brown's gas as an additional source of supplying diesel engine was assessed in this article. Water, due to its slight conductivity must have been enriched with appropriate hydroxides. By-product of combustion of Brown's gas is water vapour. Laboratory site consisted of: hydrogen generator, diesel engine 1,3 Multijet and apparatus for assessment of combustion process. The course of selected parameters of process of functioning of diesel engine of a vehicle with double supply - diesel oil and Brown's gas. Empirical research were conducted in the conditions of static engine work. AVL - Indi Micro 602 was applied to indicate the engine. Selected parameters of combustion process were analysed. If application of the electrolzyer will be justified, the works on analysis of its energy balance and its control will be continued.
