Abstract

The development experience of foreign and domestic specialists of converting diesel engines into monogas with spark ignition was studied. Disadvantages and advantages of use as motor gas fuel for diesel engines are analyzed. Ways of converting diesel units of the oil and gas industry to liquefied and compressed gas fuels according to various schemes are formulated.. Modelling of the energy efficiency of diesel units of the oil and gas industry during the conversion of diesel drives to the use of alternative fuels was performed. It has been found that when converting diesel engines of power drives of the oil and gas industry to gas motor fuel, it is possible to ensure torque, fuel consumption, and power indicators that are practically identical to the similar indicators of diesel engines before their conversion to gas. It has been established that when converting diesel units of the oil and gas industry to gas motor fuel, when converting diesel engines to a propane-butane mixture, in comparison with natural gas, it will be possible to provide better fuel, power, and environmental characteristics. It is proved that the simulation results are in good agreement with the practical results already obtained on automobile and technological transport.

Key words: alternative fuel, diesel engine, drilling rig, gas refurbishment, energy efficiency.
