Summary:

This paper discusses experimental outcome of port fuel injected engines operated on gasoline mode and LPG mode. Eight Passenger car PFI engines were tested by using computerized engine data acquisition and control system on gasoline mode and LPG mode. Objectives of this experimental study wereFrom experimental results, generic performance trend for passenger car engines was established. A unit parameter KW/lit was calculated for each engine for comparison in relation to rated torque, maximum exhaust gas temperature and speeds corresponding to maximum torque and maximum power. Eight engines of same specifications were tested and results were plotted. Engines with different specifications also can be tested and generic performance trend can be established. These graphs will be useful for engine designers to know general trend of gasoline and LPG PFI passenger care engines in the Indian auto market.Entire set of performance characteristics curves for one sample engine are plotted and are given in Appendix. Detailed analysis of results is presented in paper. Petrol and gasoline have same meaning in this paper
