Abstract:
One of the processes needed for the conversion of a diesel engine so that it can use natural gas as fuel is the reduction of the compression ratio, since the one that the diesel engine originally has is greater than the one needed for the optimal operation with natural gas.The proposed process consists of adding cold material to the cylinder head or engine head through metallization or electric arc or plasma spraying to form a combustion chamber therein.
