 INTRODUCTION
The six-stroke engine is a type of internal combustion
engine based on the four-stroke engine.

First developed in early 1990’s

Advancement is the Duel fuel six stroke diesel engine

More efficient & reduce emissions.

 DUAL FUEL SIX STROKE ENGINE

This engine runs by two fuels i.e. diesel (primary fuel) and methanol (secondary fuel)

 ADVANTAGES

 Reduction in fuel consumption by at least 40%

 Two expansions(work/Power stroke) in six strokes
 Dramatic reduction in pollution ( up to 65%)
 Higher overall efficiency
 Lower engine temperature & noise level
 Due to more air intake, the cooling system is improved
 Better scavenging and more extraction of work per cycle
 Less inertia due to lightness of moving parts
11
 DISADVANTAGES

 Brake power & indicated power per cycle per cylinder is

comparatively lesser

 Engine size increases due to many number of cylinders & additional

components

 Higher manufacturing cost of six stroke engine

12
 APPLICATIONS

• Automobiles, heavy goods, construction-site and farm vehicles.

• Motor-pumps, generator sets, stationary engines, etc....intended for

agriculture and industry.

• Motorboats

13
 CONCLUSION

 Drastically reducing fuel consumption (by 40%) and pollution (by 60-90%)
without radically affecting performances

 For the dual fuel six-stroke engine, soot & nitrous oxide was practically eliminated
by a small amount of methanol in the second combustion process.

 It enables lower engine temperature and therefore increases in the overall

efficiency. 14
