A Review on Compressed Air Engine-Single Cylinder

Abstract

This paper is review of single cylinder engine which can be run by the compressed air. Current four strokes single cylinder engine can be run on the compressed air with a few changes that are the main objective of the study. Compressed air is filled by electricity using a compressor. The electricity requirement for compressing air has to be considered while computing overall efficiency. Furthermore, the compressed air vehicle will contribute to reducing air pollution and tend to zero pollution level and promoting great environment. The main advantage of this engine is that no hydrocarbon fuel required and no combustion process is take place.
