The policies of the European Union emphasise and promote the use of alternative fuels in transportation, with the objective of gradual withdrawal from dependence on oil resources as well as of improving the condition of natural environment. One of the alternative fuels likely to be gradually applied for powering piston combustion engines is natural gas [3]. The paper presents selected test results...
The introduction of ever more stringent exhaust emission standards and the necessity of searching for new energy sources caused searches for fuels for powering combustion engines enabling a reduction of their harmful influence on the environment. Natural gas is one such fuel, with the use of which for powering piston combustion engines increasing in recent time. The use of this fuel for powering combustion...
The article presents the results of research on the combustion process of the Fiat 0,9 TwinAir engine powered by petrol, and LPG and CNG gas fuels. In order to use gas fuels for powering the internal combustion piston engines rationally, the essential knowledge about basic combustion process parameters of gas fuels in engine combustion chamber is required. This is dictated by the significant differences...
Combustion engines are the main power source in various transport vehicles and industrial machines. They are most frequently used in land transport vehicles, where cars are the major means of transportation and a significant element of social and economic development of most countries. For that reason, the exhaust emission and noise limit standards are continuously tightened and attempts are made...
The toxic components of the exhaust gas pose a major problem related to internal combustion piston engines. The requirements that those engines have to meet concern the reduction in emissions of the exhaust gas harmful compounds. The paper presents selected results of experimental investigations into the Fiat 1.3 Multijet engine equipped with the Common Rail fuel system. The engine was fuelled by...
The paper has reported the results of the investigation and assessment of the effect of the addition of the INWEX EKO-POWER additive to unleaded petrol on the hourly fuel consumption and the concentrations of harmful exhaust gas components, namely nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. During the tests, the engine was running according to the load characteristics at a crankshaft...
