Performance Study on Twin Plug Spark Ignition Engine at Different Ignition Timings

Narasimha Bailkeri | Krishna Prasad S [3] | Shrinivasa Rao B.R


Abstract: The present paper describes some results of research in the area of twin spark ignition engine. The potential of dual plug spark ignition engine is assessed by studying its performance and emission characteristics relative to that of single plug ignition engine using gasoline as fuel at different ignition timings. A new dual ignition engine has been developed by introducing two spark plugs at suitable locations. Experiments were conducted at different load conditions and three different ignition timings. The results have shown that performance of dual plug engine is comparatively better than the conventional single plug ignition engine under all three ignition timings. The results have shown considerable performance improvement in power output and thermal efficiency, as well as reduction in BSFC, HC, and CO emission in dual plug mode of operation.
