How is Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Injected in an Engine?

Learn how CNG is injected into engines for efficient combustion and reduced emissions.

28 views

Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) is injected into an engine through a process involving a high-pressure gas tank, a pressure regulator, and fuel injectors. The CNG is stored at a high pressure in the tank, then reduced to a lower pressure by the regulator before being injected into the engine's intake manifold or combustion chamber via the injectors. This precise control allows for efficient and clean combustion, optimizing the engine's performance and reducing emissions.

FAQs & Answers

  1. What are the benefits of using CNG in engines? CNG provides lower emissions, reduced fuel costs, and is a domestically abundant fuel source.
  2. How does a CNG engine differ from a gasoline engine? CNG engines use gas compression and have different fuel injectors compared to gasoline engines, optimizing emission control.
  3. Is CNG safer than gasoline? Yes, CNG is considered safer than gasoline due to its non-toxic nature and its propensity to rise and disperse in case of leaks.
