Abstract
Depletion of fossil fuels due to increase in demand and higher exhaust emissions are the driving force for many researchers to find alternative fuel for SI engine. There has been a lot of research work carried under many initiatives and schemes to make environment sustainable with cleaner emission. There are many renewable energy sources available to use as alternative for fossil fuel. Among this gaseous alternative fuel like LPG offer promising opportunity with clean burning and fewer emissions. Lesser harmful post combustion elements and equivalent efficiency as fossil fuel of LPG indicates as future promising alternative fuel. This work evaluated an experimental study on single cylinder twin spark ignition engine using both gasoline and LPG at the fixed spark timings of 30o BTDC and 26o BTDC. The engine is equipped with LPG gas kit which includes gas cylinder, vaporizer and solenoid valve to supply LPG in gaseous form to run the engine smoothly. The performance and emission characteristics of test engine are evaluated at two different compression ratios using LPG and gasoline as fuel. The experimental results revealed that, brake thermal efficiency increases with decrease in brake specific fuel consumption. The exhaust emissions such as CO, HC, and CO2 and NOx decreased remarkably with LPG compared to gasoline.
