    Experimental Investigation on Emission Control by Secondary Air Injection System and by HC

    IJSTE - International Journal of Science Technology & Engineering | Volume 2 | Issue 10 | April 2016 ISSN (online): 2349-784X Experimental Investigation on Emission Control by Secondary Air Injection System and by HC Sensor In 4 Stroke Diesel Engines Mr. Jitendra Kedaria Mr. Vishal Kevat Department of Mechanical Engineering Department of Mechanical Engineering Dr. J. N. Mehta Government Polytechnic, Madhuvan Park, C K Pithawalla College of Engineering & Technology Amreli, Gujarat-365601 Surat, Gujarat-395007 Abstract The exhaust gas from an internal combustion engine is at high pressure so to utilize that energy to run the small compressor based on turbo charger principle and to use the low pressure air for oxidation process of catalyst. The Turbine and compressor are connected with a common shaft. Even at low rpm the turbine runs and provides the Oxygen for oxidation process. This system does not take any extra energy from the engine. In this paper Engine performance and NO emissions are studied. Keywords: Turbocharger, air injection system, catalytic converter, exhaust gas recirculation ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I. INTRODUCTION Exhaust is generated by combustion and chemical process from engines, and then dumped into the environment even though it could still be reused for some useful and economic purpose. Large quantity of hot flue gases at high pressure is generated from IC engines. If this waste exhaust at high pressure can be utilized for generating energy or for pollution control by running compressor, a considerable amount of Energy for air injection process, that takes power from engine itself could be saved and hence fuel consumption is automatically decreased. The energy lost in waste gases pressure cannot be fully recovered.
