Abstract

The aim of the present work is to determine the performance and emission characteristics of little genie engine generator (genset) at various engine loads (0, 250, 500, 1000 and 1500 Watts) for different fuels: kerosene, petrol, diesel and liquid petroleum gas (LPG). This engine generator is manufactured by Birla Yamaha (India) and is mostly used in villages, small cities and low-cost industries for generation of electricity. The exhaust emissions of the engine such as CO, CO2, O2, NO and HC are measured with a gas analyzer. Here, LPG is found as the high-performance fuel of the engine.
