Abstract

AbstractVarious solutions have been proposed for reducing the exhaust emissions and improve the well-known soot and nitrogen oxide (NO) trade-off in diesel engines, without making serious modifications to the engine, one of which is the use of natural gas as supplement to liquid diesel fuel. In these types of engines, referred to as fumigated, natural gas–diesel dual-fuel compression ignition (CI) engines, gaseous fuel is fumigated and premixed with the aspirated air during the induction stroke. Natural gas is a clean-burning fuel with a relatively high auto-ignition temperature, which is a serious advantage in dual-fuel combustion. Previous research studies have shown that the natural gas–diesel fuel dual-fuel combustion in a CI engine environment, compared with conventional diesel fuel operation, suffers from high specific fuel consumption and high carbon monoxide (CO) and unburned hydrocarbon (HC) emissions. Compression ratio (CR) and diesel fuel injection timing (IT) are two engine parameters that can...
