Development and Operation of a Self-Refueling Compressed Natural Gas Vehicle

Creator:

Elgin, Robert C., III and Hagen, Christopher L.

Abstract:

A dual-mode engine has been developed where in one mode all engine cylinders fire normally, providing locomotion for the vehicle. In the other mode, one cylinder of the engine is used to compress low pressure residential natural gas (NG), in multiple stages, to a standard U.S. compressed natural gas (CNG)...

A modeling and empirical study of a novel bimodal natural gas internal combustion engine with fuel compression capability

Creator:

Elgin, Robert C., III

Abstract:

Given the current abundant supply and cheap price of natural gas (NG) in the United States, there is a significant opportunity to use this fuel for transportation. However, there are few fueling stations for consumers. To address this need, a dual-mode engine has been developed where in one mode all...
