COST-EFFECTIVENESS OF APPLYING LIQUEFIED HYDROCARBON GAS FOR DIESEL ENGINE POWER SUPPLY

Abstract

The paper describes the feasibility of using gas fuel as an additive for diesel engine power supply. The model of engines and tractors running on gas motor fuel is analyzed. Directions are highlighted and the concept of gas fuel application in the transport operated in the Republic of Belarus is proposed. The calculation of environmental and economic efficiency of applying liquefied hydrocarbon gas as an additive for the 4ChN 11.0/12.5 (D-245.5S2) diesel engine has been performed using the «REEIGG-ICE» program and its results are presented.
