Experimental Analysis of a New LPG Evaporator/Regulator for Vehicles

Abstract

An LPG evaporator/regulator has been designed to be heated with air rather than engine coolant and tested experimentally in this study. It has been observed that when using the new system in engines converted to be able to use LPG fuel, both LPG can be conditioned to the required state of the engine, and the ambient air can be cooled down thanks to the utilization of the refrigerating effect of LPG. The experiments conducted have been showing the system is feasible with a highest efficiency and coefficient of performance value of 25% and 1.1, respectively.
