1.0)Aim/Benefits of the Micro-project: Prepare a report and explain

working, construction of CNG kit in automobile.

2.0) Course outcomes:

CO-a. Use advanced technological information for marketing a vehicle.

3.0) Introduction:
CNG stands for compressed natural gas, which is a clean
and efficient alternative fuel for automobiles. A CNG kit is a
system that can be installed in a gasoline-powered vehicle to
allow it to run on CNG. The kit typically includes a CNG tank, a
regulator, a fuel injector, and other components that are necessary
for the conversion process.

The use of CNG as a fuel has several advantages over

gasoline. First, it is a cleaner-burning fuel that produces fewer
emissions than gasoline, which can help reduce air pollution.
Second, CNG is typically less expensive than gasoline, which can
save drivers money on fuel costs. Finally, CNG is a domestic fuel
source, which can help reduce dependence on foreign oil.

However, there are also some challenges associated with

using CNG as a fuel. For example, CNG tanks are larger and
heavier than gasoline tanks, which can reduce the amount of
cargo space in a vehicle. Additionally, CNG refueling stations are
not as widely available as gasoline stations, which can make it
difficult to find a place to refuel.
 Despite these challenges, the use of CNG as a fuel is
becoming increasingly popular in many parts of the world. In
some countries, such as Pakistan and Argentina, CNG is
widely used as a transportation fuel. In the United States, there
are currently over 1,000 CNG refueling stations, and many
fleet operators are converting their vehicles to run on CNG in
order to reduce costs and emissions.

CNG is not only the most environment friendly fuel; it

also gels with any kind of motor vehicle too. CNG kit can be
installed on any four wheelers. CNG Kit is an assembly of
many components required to run existing vehicle. There are
various types of kit available in the market but the few basic
components which are common in all type of kits irrespective
of the vehicles are storage cylinder, high pressure tube
pressure regulator, pressure gauge, change over switch, high
pressure tube/fittings, refueling receptacle and air fuel mixer.

A CNG kit can be installed in automobiles to allow

them to run on compressed natural gas (CNG) instead of
gasoline. The kit includes components such as a CNG tank, a
regulator, and a fuel injector. Using CNG as a fuel has several
advantages, including lower emissions, lower fuel costs, and
reduced dependence on foreign oil. However, there are also
challenges associated with CNG, such as the larger and
heavier tanks and the limited availability of refueling stations.
Despite these challenges, the use of CNG as a fuel is
increasing in popularity around the world.
 Major Components Of A CNG Kit

1. Pressure Regulator
2. Petrol Solenoid Valve with manual override switch. (It
stops petrol flow when operating on CNG)
3. On-Off valve and refueling connector. (It opens or stops
gas flow to the regulator and includes a refueling
device)
4. Control Module/Change-over Switch (It is an electronic
control component with fuel selection switch)
5. CNG level Indicator (LED Indicator)
6. Gas Air Mixer
7. CNG cylinder with valve, vapor bag & bracket
8. Petrol hose
9. Low-pressure gas hose
10. Ignition advance processor
11. High pressure gas tube
12. Wire harness
13. NRV in petrol return line
14. Pressure gauge
 Maintenance

CNG is perhaps the safest fuel as it lighter than air. In the

case of leakage the gas dissipates upwards quite quickly and it
prevents any major mishap. However, the CNG kits  require
regular maintenance drive.

 Precaution
Our safety is in our hand. Though CNG is one of the safest fuels, it
we need to check the safety parameters carefully and should
follow the set safety standards.
1. In case of leakage in fuel system, vehicle shall not be parked
within 6 meter of any source of ignition or fire
2. In case of vehicles undergoing repairs involving welding, or
heat application to any part, the cylinder should be emptied
first
3. Supplier’s kit manual should be observed and carefully
examined.
4. Always use CNG cylinder by authorized company. Do install a
LPG, Propane or any other cylinder in place of a CNG
cylinder. It is not only illegal but also dangerous to life and
may lead to fatal incidents.
5. Users of CNG kit must study the manual given and should
know about the system. It is necessary to reduce casualties and
damages during any fire breakdown.
6. The CNG kit installed in the vehicle should be insured along
with vehicle accessories
7. As per present government regulation the pollution checks and
a pollution certificate is mandatory even after converting the
vehicle on CNG
 Benefits
CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) is considered as the safest
and greenest fuel. There are many benefits of using CNG.

A) Environmental Benefits
1. CNG does not have impurities, Sulphur (S) or Lead (Pb)
2. It has very low levels of polluting gaseous emissions
3. It’s molecular structure compactness prevents the reactive
processes which lead to the formation of Ozone (O3) in the
troposphere.
B) Safety Benefits
1. CNG is lighter than air and hence disperses quickly without
any dangerous accumulation
2. CNG is unlikely to auto-ignite on hot surfaces, due to high
auto-ignition temperature (540 °C)
3. It has narrow range of flammability (5%-15%), it means that if
CNG concentration in the air is below 5% or above 15%, it
will not burn.
C) Economical Benefits
1. CNG is "pocket” friendly gas. It is cheaper to any
conventional fuel
2. CNG enhances the mileage of vehicle
D) Technical Benefits
1. CNG allows greater performance compared to petrol because
of very high antiknock power (more than 120 ON)
2. It has no evaporation leaks and spills of fuel, both during
refueling and feeding of the car.
3. Its combustion produces a very low quantity of carbon
deposits (permits a longer life of lubricant oil, spark plug,
piston drum, valves & other components)
 Layout For CNG Operated Vehicle

 Working of CNG Kit

The Sequential Injection system still has a high pressure tank,
filler, filter and regulator, the regulator is different in that it puts out
a steady pressure as opposed to variable pressure. The Natural Gas
is then injected by natural gas injectors which are controlled by the
gasoline injector pulse. This system also uses its own MAP
(manifold absolute pressure) sensor, natural gas pressure sensor,
natural gas temperature sensor and coolant temperature sensor to
operate and control the system.
 Conclusion :
In conclusion, the installation of a CNG kit in
automobiles is a promising alternative to traditional gasoline
engines. The benefits of CNG, such as reduced emissions and
lower fuel costs, make it an attractive option for
environmentally conscious consumers. However, the
challenges associated with CNG, such as the limited
availability of refueling stations, must be addressed in order to
fully realize its potential. As more countries invest in
infrastructure for CNG, we can expect to see a continued
growth in the use of this alternative fuel source. Overall, the
CNG kit is a viable solution for those looking to reduce their
carbon footprint and save money on fuel costs.
