Bioliquid engines are increasingly deployed in decentralized energy systems. Bioliquid engines are internal combustion engines designed or adapted to run on bioliquids, which are renewable liquid fuels derived from sources like used cooking oils, vegetable oils, animal fats, algae, and other biomass feedstocks. These engines provide a sustainable alternative to conventional diesel or heavy fuel oil engines, enabling low-carbon electricity and mechanical power generation for industrial, commercial, and transportation applications.
How Bioliquid Engines Work
Bioliquid engines operate similarly to conventional diesel or gas engines but are optimized for the combustion properties of renewable bioliquids. The fuel is injected into the combustion chamber, where it ignites under high pressure to drive pistons, producing mechanical energy. This energy can be converted into electricity using generators or used directly for industrial machinery, vehicles, or marine propulsion. Some bioliquid engines are also integrated with combined heat and power (CHP) systems, capturing waste heat for thermal…
