Experimentation of a Diesel Engine with Waste Heat Recovery Heat Exchanger

Abstract

In Rural Areas The Diesel Engine Generator Set Which Uses Diesel Engine Is Used For Irrigation And Agricultural Purposes. But Today The Cost Of Diesel Is Drastically Increasing And The Fossil Fuels Are Continuously Depleting. Also The Exhaust Gases Carry Away Around 35% Of The Total Heat Supplied To The Engine. Consequently Attempts Are Taken To Elevate The Propellant Economy And To Escalate The Productivity Of The Engine By Enhancing The Pursuance And Exudation Distinctive Of The Diesel Engine. Hence A Waste Heat Recovery Exchanger Was Modeled And Synthesized To Utilize The Heat From Exhaust Gases To Preheat The Incoming Air Before Supplying It Into The Cylinder Of The Engine. Initially The Pursuance And Exudation Distinctive Of The Diesel Engine Were Carried Out Without The Heat Exchanger. Then The Same Experiments Were Carried Out With The Heat Exchanger And The Results Reveals That There Is An Improvement In The Performance And Reduction In Emissions Of The Diesel Engine.
