Experimental investigation of an automotive air-conditioning system driven by a small biogas engine

A compact air conditioning module run on biogas for rural use is proposed. The research study is to investigate the use of small biogas engine to drive the automotive vapour-compression air-conditioning system. The engine used is single-cylinder, four-stroke gasoline engine with capacity of 125 cm3...
