    This document describes a small biogas engine conversion kit for rural applications that allows diesel or petrol engines to run on biogas without diesel or petrol. It discusses converting engines to run on dual fuel or 100% biogas. The technology was developed by IIT Delhi and MGIRI to provide power for rural homes using renewable biogas from livestock waste. The affordable conversion kit can be installed on-site to convert diesel engines to run on biogas, reducing costs and providing sustainable power for rural communities.

    Small Biogas Engine conversion kit

    Rural Application
    (No Petrol, No Diesel )

    By Dr.G.P.Govil Director SIYA INSTRUMENTS


    [email protected] [email protected], Mobile: 9811345179

    CONTENTS
    Introduction Conversion of Petrol Engine to gas engine Conversion of Diesel Engine to Dual fuel mode Conversion of Diesel Engine to 100 % Biogas (S.I.Mode) Conclusions

    Technology Developed By
    Indian Institute of Technology Delhi Under MGIRI Project (Prof.R.R.Gaur)
    Mahatma Ghandhi Institute of Rural Industrialisation Wardha

    with Dr. G.P.Govil

    MOTIVATION
    To provide power in each house from renewable source of energy in villages To provide drinking water in villages To create employment in rural areas To have sustainable growth To provide an affordable conversion kit to convert diesel engine to gaseous engine on site

    Concept for Domestic Power Supply in Rural Area

    INVERTER

    Biogas Generator

    Power Need Village Household requirements Dairy requirement Village cluster requirements 1-10 KW 20-50 KW >100 KW

    CONVERSION OF PETROL ENGINE TO GASEOUS FUEL ENGINE

    Conversion of Petrol Engine to Gaseous Engine


    Gas Air Mixing Compression Ratio LPG, Natural Gas, Biogas, Producer gas CR=10-12 Petrol CR=7.7-9.5 More Wear & Tear because of less lubrication Conversion Leads to DERATING of engine

    Reasons for Engine Derating


    Lower calorific value of Biogas Lower volumetric efficiency Higher spark advance due to lower burning rate of Biogas

    Problems associated with DualFuel Engine


    Dual Fuel needs Diesel The Fuel Injector gets over heated when Diesel flow is reduce to 10 to 15 % It is more severe with purified Bio-gas (Methane 95 %) Check for injector nozzle.

    Technical Details
    Gas Consumption
    25kg of dung is required to generate 1 m3 of the gas The consumption of the gas is 0.8 -1.0 m3 / kWhr .

    Power of the Engine

    Diesel engines converted to Biogas engine will get derated. Power generated by the converted biogas engine will be approximately 50%-55% in comparison to original diesel engine

    Economics of Conversion Kit


    Use of Kit in a 5 hp Diesel Engine Consumption of Diesel =1.0 lts./hr. Use of Diesel Engine =5 hr. Total Diesel consumed =5.0 lts. Cost of Diesel =Rs.35 (approx.) = Expenditure = =Rs.200/= per day Cost of Conversion Kit. Rs.20,000/= Payback period 6 Months. (approx)
