EXPERIMENTATION & DEVELOPMENT OF DUAL FUEL (DIESEL+CNG) TRACTOR

To Upgrade Tracror with dual Fuel technology which enables Its engine to run with combination of CNG and Diesel fuel.This experiment will provide following benefits to Tractor Customers – 1.Savings on fuel expenditures 2.Reduce pollution mainly CO, NOx and PM emission INTRODUCTION: Towards the effort of reducing the operating cost of tractor with diesel engines for farmer, We have proposed solutions of using CNG(gaseous fuel) as a fractional supplement for Diesel (liquid fuel). A dual-fuel (Diesel-CNG) engine is a basic diesel engine equipped with a dual-fuel conversion kit that allows the use of a clean-burning alternative fuel such as compressed natural gas. Diesel and natural gas are burned simultaneously in this engine. Natural gas is supplied in the cylinder in conjunction with intake air; the quantity of diesel injection is decreased accordingly. There are number of potential benefits of Dual fuel engines such as higher compression ratio, fuel flexibility, and improved efficiency and less adjustment in current diesel engines. Due to less smock and PM emissions and high efficiency of diesel combustion it as an environmentally friendly technology . Normally diesel is costlier then natural gas. The total Cost savings for dual fuel will depend upon the proportion of fuel added. For energy consumption and environmental pollution point of view, and availability of CNG dual fuel technology is a efficient technology to use.
