RESUMO

The objective of this study is converting a generator, originally Diesel, to operate in a Diesel-Gas; two fuels are administered simultaneously to the motor. One diesel generator of 120KW model Perkins 1006 TAG (powered with turbo intercooler), running on the Diesel / natural gas dual fuel mode, was tested. Experimental measurements were performed in both the Diesel and dual fuel diesel-gas. Are evaluated performances and; especially air pollutant emissions. The emission reduction was carried out by partial restriction of the combustion air with the help of an electronic throttle valve, positioned before the intake manifold. The ratio Diesel-Gas was evaluated, where the second fuel (natural gas) was administered with one electronic injection of natural gas. The results indicate that at low loads the reductions in carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons are significant (50% reduction in HC and 20% CO) with maximum replacement rates. Something like is observed at intermediate loads. In medium and low loads there is a slight increase in emissions of nitrous oxides. One can observe a slight increase in overall yield of the generator with the increased workload and the replacement rate; in general it was possible to reduce emissions at high loads, especially in hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide.
