Abstract

The object of research is the environmental parameters of a reciprocating engine when using a synthesis gas additive to the main fuel. The research is aimed at solving the problem of reducing the concentration of harmful components in the exhaust gases of an internal combustion engine by adding synthesis gas to the main fuel.

Experimentally, the dependences of the effect of the addition of synthesis gas to ethanol on the change in the environmental performance of a piston engine with spark ignition were obtained.

The positive effect of the addition of synthesis gas obtained by thermochemical conversion to ethanol in an amount of up to 5 % by weight on the environmental performance of a spark-ignition piston engine was established. Provided that the engine achieves the same effective power, the use of a synthesis gas additive to the main fuel made it possible to reduce the concentration of CO by 61.5 % and CH by 51.3 % in the exhaust gases. no more than 25–30 words

The addition of synthesis gas contributed to the formation of radicals that activate oxidation chain reactions, and also made it possible to increase the normal combustion rate of the fuel-air mixture by 6.25 %. This ensures normal engine operation on a leaner fuel-air mixture (α=1.21) without deterioration of environmental, energy and economic performance. no more than 25-30 words

The simultaneous reduction of the concentration of harmful components in the exhaust gases and engine efficiency can be achieved by using fuels with a wide concentration limit of ignition and high combustion rate in a lean mixture.

The experimental data obtained can be used in the design or modernization of transport and stationary power plants with internal combustion engines as an approach to meet ever-increasing environmental standards
