The depletion rate of conventional petroleum fuels is very fast. Gasoline is used as conventional fuel in the SI engine. Emissions from this fuel cause environmental pollution because it produces harmful emissions for the environment such as CO2, CO, HC, and NOx. Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) has physical and chemical properties that make it a favorable fuel for IC engines. It can be used as a fuel alone or combined with gasoline with some minor engine modifications. The engine running on LPG showed improved performance - in terms of fuel economy, overall efficiency compared to petrol. In addition, it is noted that LPG emissions are greatly lower than petrol. This work reviews the research conducted by previous researchers on LPG-powered SI engines under several working conditions.

“…al. [12] have been conducted an experimental works and they found that the brake power developed is higher in case of LPG engine whereas heat carried by jacket water is covered by exhaust gases and unaccountable losses are higher in case of petrol engine. They also observed that, LPG has higher fuel consumption compared to petrol.…”

Abstract.Recently, the depletion of petroleum resources and the impact of exhaust emission caused by combustion towards environmental has been forced to all researchers to come out with an alternative ways to prevent this situation become worse. Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is the most compatible and have a potential to become a source of energy for internal combustion engine. Unfortunately, the investigation of LPG in internal combustion engine among researcher still have a gap in research. Thus, in this study a 1-Dimensional simulation CAMPRO 1.6L engine model using GT-Power is developed to predict the performances of engines that using LPG as a fuel for internal combustion engine. The constructed model simulation will throughout the validation process with the experimental data to make sure the precision of this model. The validation process shows that the results have a good agreement between the simulation model and the experimental data. As a result, the performance of LPG simulation model shows that a Brake Torque (BT), Brake Power (BP) and Brake Mean Effective Pressure (BMEP) were significantly improved in average of 7% in comparison with gasoline model. In addition, Brake Specific Fuel Consumption (BSFC) also shows an improvement by 5%, which is become more economic. Therefore, the developed GT-Power model offer a successful fuel conversion to LPG systems via retrofit technology to provide comprehensive support for implementation of energy efficient and environmental friendly vehicles.
