Effect of syngas composition on combustion and exhaust emission characteristics in a pilot-ignited dual-fuel engine operated in PREMIER combustion mode
Synthesis gas (syngas) offers a promising opportunity for sustainable energy development to meet stringent future emission limits for vehicles and cogeneration units. This research reveals that using PREMIER combustion mode with variable concentration of syngas components can significantly improve the engine efficiency and reduce fuel consumption. This research was funded by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS), (JSPS Fellowship No. P09279), in collaboration between Okayama University, Japan and Mitsui Engineering and Shipbuilding. This paper led to an invited talk at the 3rd International Engine Workshop, in Seoul, Korea (2011).
