With the rapid development of the automobile industry, the huge energy consumption threatens the national energy supply safety, and simultaneously, the discharged large amount of tail gas also directly threatens the ecological environment and human health. The alternative fuel for cleaning vehicles has become an important subject of research in various countries, wherein alcohol fuels and gas fuels are the most widely used alternative fuels, but compared with alcohol fuels, gas fuels have great advantages in many aspects such as resources, economy, emission, safety and the like, and are the first choice alternative fuels for automobiles at present.
Currently, scientists have access to multiple single component fuel gases (e.g., CH)4、H2Etc.) have been studied for use in engines, they have more or less problems in terms of emissions, knocking, dynamics, etc. due to the influence of their respective physicochemical and combustion characteristics, and gaseous fuels in which various combustible gases are mixed have gradually come into the field of vision of people who can burn themThe characteristics are complemented, abnormal combustion is eliminated, and the running and emission requirements of the engine are met. Therefore, a set of mixed gas supply system is required to be designed, so that the mixing of multiple combustible gases in proportion is realized, the stability of components is ensured, and the engine can work in the best state.
