Abstract: Because of the global increase in the consumption of low-calorie natural gas, and increasing awareness of the mid-to long-term problem with the decrease in the calorific value of natural gas, actions are needed to minimize the problems with gas appliances. Most natural gas engines for small distributed cogeneration systems operate with a lean fuel/air mixture and do not employ an excess air ratio control and optimized spark advance timing. The engine performance can be influenced by calorific value changes in the natural gas without the excess air ratio control.
