It is estimated that there are approximate 10 million diesel pumps that are in use nationwide. The population of stationary diesel engine is expected to continue to grow.Normally in diesel engines lots of power lost is take place because of friction loss, heat loss and due to incomplete combustion of fuel. There is no efficient way of reduction in power loss due to incomplete combustion of fuel. Complete combustion of fuel can be achieved by supplying sufficient amount of oxygen. One of the best solutions to increase efficiency of the engine by complete combustion is Oxygen enrichment by Vacuum Swing Adsorption Method. Oxygen enrichment in diesel engine i.e. increased amount of oxygen in the air is to be supply to the engine intake. Hence rise in the amount of oxygen will increase the power developed by engine.

Abstract:

It is estimated that there are approximate 10 million diesel pumps that are in use nationwide. The population of stationary diesel engine is expected to continue to grow.Normally in diesel engines lots of power lost is take place because of friction loss, heat loss and due to incomplete combustion of fuel. There is no efficient way of reduction in power loss due to incomplete combustion of fuel. Complete combustion of fuel can be achieved by supplying sufficient amount of oxygen. One of the best solutions to increase efficiency of the engine by complete combustion is Oxygen enrichment by Vacuum Swing Adsorption Method. Oxygen enrichment in diesel engine i.e. increased amount of oxygen in the air is to be supply to the engine intake. Hence rise in the amount of oxygen will increase the power developed by engine.
