Abstract

This study contains the emission characteristics of Kirloskar VCR research engine while using fuel preheating technology. Characteristics were investigated for various inlet fuel preheating temperature. Four fuel preheating temperatures (20°C, 30°C, 40°C & 50°C) were used. Compression ratio 16:1 is preferred for experimentation. Experiments were performed at rated speed of 1500 RPM from no load to full load conditions. Effect of fuel preheating on emission characteristics like HC, CO, CO2, NOx, lamda, O2 emissions were investigated.
