Abstract

the article considers the possibilities of diesel engine operation on gaseous fuels, as well as their advantages over standard engines. The focus is on the possibility of running effectively the gas-diesel cycle so that it is brought to the processes occurring in the engine with forced ignition as close as possible. The article also discusses the issues related to optimization of the processes occurring in the gasdiesel engine, which will bring the gas-diesel cycle close to the petrol-running cycle. There are also identified ways to improve the economic and environmental performance of the diesel engine
