Effect of Engine Operating Parameters on Space- and Species-Resolved Measurements of Engine-Out Emissions from a Single-Cylinder Spark Ignition Engine

The available of conventional fuels are fluctuating depend on distribution from the source production to consumer. The availability of biogas as renewable energy is increasing due to establishments of many organic wastes processing worldwide. The need of electricity to support daily life activity is a must, but the availability of electric source in remote area is limited especially for a farm that far away from commercial line distribution of electricity. This work is dedicated to solve this problem. The single cylinder 4 stroke spark ignition engine (83 cc) was designed to be able to be fuelled flexibly by using biogas or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), or gasoline if sometime the biogas not available during initiation of the process or during maintenance of anaerobic digester. The engine is still can be run to provide electricity by using conventional fuel such as LPG or gasoline. The full consumption as well as emission of this flexible fuel engine was investigated. It is found that the fuel consumption is 9.97 L/mint for Biogas, 0.004 L/mint for gasoline and 2.24 L/mint for LPG. Surprisingly by using biogas the emission of carbon monoxide (CO) was down to almost zero (0.02 ppm), comparing gasoline 0.32 ppm, and LPG 0.4 ppm.

Paper discussed the influence of exhaust system leakage on the utility parameters and toxic combustion products emission of a turbocharged passenger car spark ignition engine. A comparative analysis of the data gathered in the research carried out using the MAHA MSR 500 single roller chassis dynamometer was conducted, where the exhaust system was sealed and leaking in the area of the wideband oxygen sensor mounting bracket. The presented data refers to among others: the emissions of harmful gasoline oxidation products (HC, CO), the courses of power generated by the engine and the momentary values of excess air ratio. The EUDC driving cycle was used in the research.
