3. Project Summary
 Introduction
 What we achieved out of it ?
 Basics of our project
 Working of the Engine
 Results of our Project
 Present & the Future

4. introduction
 It is an experimental Project which identifies
the scope of utilization of compression
ignited and spark ignited fuels in a single
Engine
 The compression Ignition properties of
fuels(liquid) like diesel is utilized to Ignite
fuels(gaseous) like LPG and then power the
engine

6. advantages
 The Diesel Engines can be changed into a gas
Operating engines thus it can create a cost
effective way of adopting new technology
 This approach decrease the variation in
different fuel costs to create a uniformity in
different fuel prices that stabilizes economy
dependence on fuels
 Environment friendly because of a scope to
replace diesel and LPG with bio diesel and
biogas

10. COMPARISON OF FUELS
DIESEL SPECIFICATIONS
 DENSITY at 15oC, kg/ m3
820-860
 COPPER Strip corrosion for 3hr at
100oc : Not worse than No.
1
 Auto Ignition Temperature: 210 deg.
C
 Total sulphur(8), mg/kg, Max 500
 Diesel is a yellowish color fluid
LPG SPECIFICATIONS
 DENSITY 0.525 to 0.580 @ 15 deg.
C
 COPPER Strip corrosion at 38 deg. C
for one hour : not worse than no 1.
 Auto Ignition Temperature :410-580
deg. C
 Total volatile sulphur by percentage :
0.02
 LPG is a colorless and odorless gas

11. Engine Specifications
 Power: 7.5 KVA
 Generated: 16 HP
 Cooling: water cooled(forced pump type)
 Fuel Injection: direct fuel Injection system
 Nozzle: MFI Nozzle 89112(3 holes aligned at
60 degree)
 Lubrication System: Splash lubrication
 Radiator: multiple cylindrical tube type
Radiator

12. Future scope of improvement
 Engine need to be further tested on various
testing rigs
 Knocking produced in the engine could be
reduced
 Further technological advancement can
decrease the diesel to LPG usage in engine
 It’s potential to create impact on fuel
economics is yet to be discovered
 biodiesel-biogas engine could be the future
of this engine
