Introduction to CN G
Natural

gas
compressed to 1% of
its volume at normal
condition give CNG
Formed
from dead
plants and animals
due to intense heat
and pressure
Methane as primary
component
with
negligible amount of
CO2, H2S and N2.

Fig: Source of CNG

Properties ofCN G
90% methane
Self ignition temperature= 540 C
Adiabatic flame temperature= 1900

C
5 to 15 % conc. in air to burn
Relative density= 0.61
Octane number= 127
Calorific value= 38 MJ per cubic
meter at standard condition
Clean source of energy and
comparatively cheaper

Introduction to CN G driven m otorcycle

Not yet produced in large scale due

to some major challenges like:

a) Expensive CNG kit and need of
approval
b) Large fuel tank requirement and
space adjustment problem in bike
Main problem is related to the tank
. So main focus has to been made in
solving the problem related to the
tank.

Size oftank
Cylindrical

tank

with
diameter=40cm
and length= 62 cm
Adjustable size in
bike
Stores cng that can
give same work
output as petrol
tank
of
15
ltr
capacity

Fig: cylindrical tank to store cng

Rubber

membrane
wrapped
with
carbon fiber and
coated
with
epoxy
Light and strong
but expensive
To reduce cost
steel
or
aluminum
can

CN G kit installation
Connect all the parts as shown after removing the battery

and original tank of bike and then replacing by CNG tank

Process involved:

a) Isentropic compression
b) Heat addition at constant volume
c) Isentropic expansion
d) Heat rejection at constant volume

Case Study
Produced

by

Argentinean
manufacturer zanella
150 cc R-150
Dual fuel : CNG and
petrol
CNG running capacity
of 200 km and 3.5
liter petrol tank
Costs 285 dollar more
than pure gasoline
driven model
