Abstract

Abstract This paper presents the experimental results carried out to evaluate the exhaust emissions and performance evaluation of a computer integrated bi-fuel spark ignition engine that has been retrofitted for two fuels namely compressed natural gas (CNG) and base fuel gasoline, operations under steady state with lean burn condition. The used engine was a Proton Magma 4-cylinders spark ignition engine. The emission results such as CO, HC and NOx were measured and compared between the above two fuels. A locally produced three way catalytic converter (TWC) consisting of platinum (Pt), palladium (Pd), cerium oxide (CeO2) and rhodium (Rh) was used to assess the emissions. The CeO2 was used in TWC as an oxygen storage capacity (OSC) to enhance the oxidation process for CO and HC oxidations.
