Port Injection Of Biomass Producer Gas From Downdraft Gasifier In A Diesel Engine

Producer gas (PG), generated from thermo-chemical conversion process of biomass gasification has been proven to be used as an alternative fuel for internal combustion engine. However, major problems of PG when used as fuel in internal combustion engine are loss of power or engine derating and high e...
