Abstract |
|
The study on alternative fuels has become important due to depletion of petroleum products and its major involvement for pollutants. In this work Compressed Natural Gas is used to run light duty SI engine. The Performance and Emission of the CNG fuelled engine for different Spark Plug Gap and Spark Plug Projection have been evaluated. The experiments were performed using 3 different spark plug gaps (SPG) (0.4, 0.6 and 0.8 mm) and 3 different Spark Plug Projections (SPP)(0,0.5 and 1 mm) at the constant speed of 3000 rpm and varied load conditions. The maximum efficiency values and minimum emission were obtained for 0.8 mm Spark Plug Gap and 1 mm Spark Plug Projection. |
