Utilization of biomass as engine fuel
In this study, performance of gasifier engine system is analyzed by running 5kW engine at different load conditions to check maximum diesel savings in dual fuel mode operation. Cotton stalks replaces diesel by 80% while sugarcane bagasse replaces it by 82%. By using appropriate agricultural residue, gasifier system integrated with CI engine is economically better than diesel system alone.
