Abstract

The work presents research on HONDA NHX 110 engine. The Internal Combustion engine (ICE engine) was fueled with gasoline RON95 and alternative fuels, including: methanol, ethanol and butanol. The experimental research was conducted for various ignition advance angle settings, at the authors’ own dynamometer engine test stand. Tests were conducted for several hundred work cycles at maximum engine load with fully open throttle (the ICE engine works as distributed generation device in electricity generation configuration). In this work the effects of ignition advance angle change on indicated work, mechanical power, electrical power and torque figures produced by the engine has been shown. Moreover, the influence of ignition advance angle on the values of indicated and open pressure graphs for ICE engine have been analyzed and shown. Furthermore the influence of emission of nitrogen oxides – NOx and hydrocarbons – HC at different angles of the ignition advance have been presented.
