Abstract
This paper presents an experiment on syngas's influence on the performance and pollutant characteristics of a mechanical diesel engine generator set. Using syngas as an external fuel is good for medium and light loads of less than 80%. While a moderate substitution of syngas will contribute to good performance at high loads, a larger level of syngas provided may degrade engine performance. The brake-specific energy consumption rises as the replacement syngas flow increases. Using syngas as an external fuel to substitute for a part of the diesel might cause the engine to perform unstablely. The more syngas replacements, the greater the coefficient speed variation observed. CO and CO2 emissions grow as the amount of replacement syngas increases. HC emissions tend to fall in medium and small loads with low replacement syngas but rise in high loads with high substitution syngas flow. NOx emissions tend to fall as syngas replacement flow increases. NOx fell considerably in low-load but less in high-load conditions. Smoke levels tend to fall at medium and small loads, with low replacement syngas flow, but rise at large load conditions or high substitution syngas flow.
