Abstract

Propane with lower carbon content than other fossil fuels and which is easily vaporized at ambient conditions has the advantage of lowering CO2 emissions and optimizing the combustion process. The possible combination of using it in high-efficiency compression ignition engines makes it worth analyzing the innovative method of using liquid propane injection. Since propane has a very low cetane number, spark plug operating is provided to achieve reliable ignition. Experiments and simulations were carried out to investigate combustion and performance of spark discharge energy effect on propane direct injection. A rapid compression and expansion machine (RCEM) was used to carry out the experimental work. The results are the liquid propane injection provided reduction in emission by a modest improvement in energy efficiency. The use spark plug ignition was experienced in obtaining reliable ignition to achieving reliable ignition and reasonable ignition delays.
