Abstract
Heating value of gaseous fuel produced from waste gasification systems is as low as 1/10 of that of natural gas, and there is almost no established energy conversion methods for such low-calorific gas. In this experiment, two-step pyrolysis/reforming gasification gases made from PO film were tested by a commercial scale dual-fueled diesel engine whose displacement volume is 3331cc. Engine operation is quite steady for increase of low calorific gas supply with remarkable reduction of NO_x emission. Experimental results show dual-fueled engines are quite feasible option for efficient utilization of low calorific gases.
