介绍了火花点火式变组分煤层气发动机的主要设计过程。通过发动机台架试验，在不同点火提前角、不同甲烷浓度和不同压缩比时对该发动机的起动、怠速稳定性和排放特性进行了分析。结果表明，变组分煤层气发动机起动、怠速稳定，带负荷工作可靠。通过控制合适的空燃比，可以适应甲烷浓度大范围变动的煤层气燃烧。未燃HC和CO排放量随负荷、甲烷浓度增加而降低；;NOx排放量随负荷、甲烷浓度增加而增加。

介绍了在S195柴油机上进行富氧燃烧的试验，对柴油机排放特性进行了比较与分析，目的是通过试验研究，找到在富氧条件下同时降低碳烟和NOx排放的方法。研究结果表明，增加进气氧的质量分数，碳烟排放大幅度下降,HC和CO也趋于下降，但NOx排放显著增加；推迟供油提前角，可以使NOx排放降低，但碳烟有上升趋势，HC和CO排放增加。所以，采用富氧燃烧时必须同时推迟供油提前角，才能获得较低的排放量组合。

介绍了一种新的电控共轨式燃油喷射系统。该系统根据各种液化代用燃料的特殊性质，采用电子控制技术和共轨式喷射原理，能够满足多种液化代用燃料在发动机上应用的要求。同时研究了这种系统的喷射特性，并以柴油为燃料进行了发动机台架试验，验证了系统的可行性。

Natural gas engines have widely been developed in the world because of the decrease of oil resources and strictness of the exhaust regulations. This paper introduces the main processes of designing diesel engines fuelled with natural gas and ignited by spark plugs. Secondly, it analyzes a number of problems considered during the process of designing. As an example, authors introduce the characteristic of a natural gas engine converted from a 4125 diesel engine and discuss the performances of the prototype engine according to results of the engine bed testing .The result is satisfying.

This paper presents a dual fuel system for diesel-natural gas operation for a truck diesel engine, and describes results of testing and analysis of the operating characteristics of the engine. The research results show that rates of fuel consumption and fuel efficiencies are increased with this engine design, and heat consumption decreased with increasing load on the engine. The heat consumption rates at medium-high loads are lower than at light loads. At full loads, the dual fuel engine exhibits heat release in which start combustion is reduced and the following combustion is rapid. The engine is tested with an electronically controlled method to meet the requirement of engine output torque.
