ABSTRACT
This paper is reports on the review of compressed air engine for the design and development of single cylinder engine which can be run by the compressed air. Current four strokes single cylinder engine (bikes/moped) can be run on the compressed air with a few modifications that are the main objective of the study. Compressed air filled by electricity using a compressor.
The electricity requirement for compressing air has to be considered while computing overall efficiency. Nevertheless the compressed air vehicle will contribute to reducing a air pollution and tend to zero pollution level and promoting great environment. Main advantage of this engine is that no hydrocarbon fuel required means no combustion process is take place.
HISTORY
In fact, two centuries before that Dennis
Papin[6]apparently came up with the idea of using compressed air (Royal Society London, 1687).
In 1872 the Mekarski[6] air engine was used for street transit, consisting of a single stage engine. Numerous locomotives were manufactured and a number of regular lines were opened up (the first in Nantes in
1879).
In 1892, Robert Hardie[6] introduced a new method of heating that at the same time served to increase the range of the engine which in turn helped to increase the distance that could be traveled at a stretch. One of its new features was regenerative braking. By using the engine as a compressor during deceleration, air and heat were added to the tanks, increasing the range between fill-ups.
