This work presents a novel design of a gas-carburettor for SI engine operated on producer gas in single fuel mode. For geometrical modelling of carburettor, the ANSYS workbench is used, while RNG k-ε turbulence model in conjunction with species transport model is employed for numerical simulations. This carburettor design was fabricated, the operations were performed to ensure load following flexibility of gas carburettor. CFD model for gas carburettor gives realistic predictions for qualitative trends of pressure drop at different load conditions.
