    This document discusses a dual fuel engine that can operate on both diesel and natural gas. It provides details on the working principle, modified engine parts, factors affecting combustion, knocking and its control, advantages, and disadvantages. A dual fuel engine works on the diesel cycle, compressing a mixture of air and natural gas, and using a small diesel pilot fuel charge for ignition. It has benefits like lower emissions and operating costs compared to diesel alone due to the use of cheaper natural gas as the primary fuel.

    The key takeaways are that dual fuel engines can use both gas and liquid fuels to operate, with gas being the primary fuel and liquid fuel used for ignition. They have lower emissions and operating costs compared to diesel engines.

    A dual fuel engine is an internal combustion engine that can operate on gaseous fuel or liquid fuel. It uses two different fuels, with one being gaseous and the other liquid, usually taken in varying proportions to run the engine.

    A dual fuel engine works on the diesel cycle. The gaseous fuel is mixed with intake air and compressed in the cylinder. A small amount of liquid pilot fuel is then injected, which ignites and combustion starts smoothly using the gaseous fuel-air mixture as the main fuel.

    Introduction 3

     In our country diesel is primarily used for transportation


    , agriculture and electrical power generation. Diesel is
    becoming scare and costlier and hence there is a need
    to preserve diesel for only loco-motive and agriculture
    uses. For power generation alternate power should be
    use where ever possible so that diesel is conserved and
    made available for its primary uses.
    What is Dual-fuel engine ? 4

     Internal combustion engine operating on gaseous fuel


    have for long been known. Many large stationary
    engines use two fuels. Normally of these two fuels,
    one is gaseous and other is liquid fuels. The two fuels
    can be taken widely varying proportion two run engine
    ; such as engine is usually called dual fuel engine.
    Working Principle 5

     It works on diesel cycle.

     The gaseous fuel(primary fuel) is added to the air


    inducted by the engine.

     The mixture of air& gaseous fuel is compressed in the


    cylinder. A small charge of liquid fuel called pilot fuel
    is injected and it acts as a source of ignition.

     Then combustion starts smoothly and rapidly

    and auxiliaries for conversion


     Engine parts
    Plant auxiliaries
    Additional parts
    • Gas supplying system
     Gas admission system, knock detector • Safety device for gas system
     Air/fuel ratio control system • Engine control panel
    • Remote monitoring system
    Specification change parts
     Piston ring, piston pin metal

     Fuel injector, plunger assembly, Fuel governor


    Factors affecting combustion 9

    in a Dual-Fuel Engine
     Pilot fuel quantity

     Injection Timing.

     Cetane Number of Pilot Fuel.

     Inlet Temperature.

     Effect of Throttling

     Mixture Strength
    Knocking and Its Control 10

     Increased admission of gaseous fuel results in very fast reaction


    rates. This followed by ignition with very high rates of pressure
    rise and combustion becomes uncontrollable.
    KNOCK IN DUAL-FUEL ENGINE CONTROLLED BY ANY OF THE
    FOLLOWING METHODS

     Excess supply of air.

     Use of cold combustion air.

     Increased cooling of piston.

     Reducing the pressure of the gaseous fuel


    Features of Dual Fuel Engine 11

    Less operation cost


     Main fuel : Natural Gas
    Environmental Friendly
     Drastic reduction of NOx, Sox & CO2 emission
    Stable operation
     Pilot injection system

     Operatable on either fuel of natural gas or diesel oil


    Clean combustion and Less maintenance cost
    Advantages 12

     The exhaust is clean. Less air pollution.

     The clean combustion results in reduced wear of the


    engine parts and reduced consumption of lubricating oil

     Lower initial cost and Lower operating costs than a


    dedicated natural gas engine.

     Better fuel economy than a natural gas engine

     Lower maintenance cost


    Dis-advantages 13

     Tendency of vapor lock while using lighter fuels

     Tendency of increased wear due to lower lubricity of


    gasoline

     Requirement for injecting different volumes of fuel


    depending on their heating values and compressibility.
    Conclusion 14

     Quality of fuels important factor for performance of


    the engine

     Dual Fuel engine generally used for power generation


    with long term period

     80-90% of replace by biogas
