Experimental Investigation of CI Engine Operated Micro-Trigeneration System Fuelled with Karanj Methyl Ester-Diesel Blend
Abstract A Micro-Trigeneration system based on Karanj Methyl Ester-Diesel Blend fuelled CI engine is designed and realized in laboratory. Experimental investigations are carried out to evaluate the performance and emissions of the original single generation system as well as the Trigeneration system developed. The test results show that the total thermal efficiency of Trigeneration reaches to 87.28% at the engine full load compared to only 33.21% for that of the original single generation. CO2 emission in kg per unit (kWh) of useful energy output from Trigeneration is 0.1348 kg CO2/kWh compared to that of 0.3184 kg CO2/kWh from single generation at the engine full load. Percentage reduction in CO2 emissions in kg/kWh with Trigeneration as compared to single generation throughout the load range is from 57.65% to 87.37%. The experimental results show that the idea of realizing a Karanj Methyl Ester-Diesel blend operated Micro-Trigeneration is feasible and effective to utilize the resources more efficiently.
