DEVELOPMENT OF OXYGEN SEPARATION UNIT FOR EMISSION CONTROL IN IC ENGINE USING ZEOLITE 5A

Abstract

In IC engines, the combustion takes place through air and fuel mixture. The main aim of this unit is to separate the oxygen from the atmosphere and allow it to the combustion chamber of the IC engine. This has been made possible by the element called Zeolite. In the present work a setup has been designed and developed for four stoke single cylinder petrol engine and the emission rate has been control. The principle of rapid pressure swing adsorption system has been introduced for the oxygen production. By allowing the oxygen into the combustion chamber a complete combustion has been takes place resulting in increasing the efficiency of the engine. From the experiments conducted the emission has been decreased due to the action of oxygen enriched combustion which enables complete combustion.
