Abstract

The combustion characteristics and exhaust emissions of the dual fuel diesel engine fueling with coconut oil methylester (CME) and low calorie bio-gas (LCG) are investigated by comparing to the CME/CNG, RME(Rapeseed oil methyl ester)/CNG, RME/LCG, GasOil/LCG, GasOil/CNG dual fuels. The results show that the operable condition of CME/LCG is almost the same as that of the other dual fuels. The thermal efficiency of CME/LCG is almost the same as that of the other dual fuels. LCG dual fuels have lower NOx and Smoke emissions compared with the other test dual fuels. It is concluded that CME/LCG is best among the test dual fuels.
