Abstract
Converting the power units of existing transport and transportation vehicles to NGV fuel requires not only the creation of the necessary infrastructure for trouble-free operation of such machinery, but also significant investments for the initial installation of the relevant NGV equipment. Various evaluation criteria are used to justify the feasibility of such a conversion. The authors have studied the conversion of diesel engine D-243 of tractor MTZ-82 to the gas-diesel cycle and determined its efficiency and power indicators in the laboratory and field tests. The paper assesses the economic efficiency of the operation of a power plant based on the diesel and gas-diesel cycle by comparing the fuel consumption and costs per hectare in the operation of a tractor MTZ-82 and a cultivator KPS-4 for soil treatment.
