Abstract
It has been shown that a change of gas composition has a significant impact on the combustion process and parameters of operation of a dual-fuel engine. The combustion of gas additives largely determines the combustion of both the main component of gaseous fuel and the initial dose of diesel fuel. The addition of higher hydrocarbons to methane can improve engine performance by as much as 6% with additions of higher carbon amounting to 20% of total fuel volume. Also, it has been shown that changes of gas composition significantly impact the ignition delay of the initial diesel dose.
