Abstract
This paper presents the experimental for the types of mixers used in mixing natural gas with air to operate the irrigation
pump to save energy, many of measurements were carried 2021 year in workshops of Agricultural Engineering Department, Faculty of Agriculture, Ain Shams University, Egypt. Used engine single-cylinder, air-cooled. A new pump with
a discharge diameter of 2 inches, which was an Egyptian manufacture. Several types of mixers were manufactured to
mix natural gas with air before entering the engine. Using iron pipes of different diameters, three types of mixers were
used Mixer with a perforated inner tube of 8, 10. 12cm (L8, L10, L12) . selected determine the four shaft speeds (1750,
2300, 2900 and 3500 rpm) using the engine speed measuring device. The results here dealt with study the analysis of
technical indicators for the types of mixers used in mixing natural gas with air to operate the irrigation pump. where
the actual power (Braking power) is superior to all types when operating with gasoline was (3.07 kW) A comparison
with the use of natural gas, where the mixer type (L10) (2.69 kW) was 10% less than gasoline. the lowest Specific
fuel consumption (s. fc) for gasoline was (219.025 gm/Kw.h) at an engine speed of (2900 rpm), The lowest (S.fc) for
the types of mixers was the mixer (L10) was (340.144 gm/Kw.h) at an engine speed of (2900 rpm),The highest pump
discharge was with the L8 mixer (32.98 m3/h), an increase of 1.8% over gasoline at an engine speed of (3500 rpm), The
highest actual hydraulic power with L10 type mixer compared to other type L mixers (0.782 kW) was 12 % lower than
that of gasoline. As for the economic indicators the lowest Internal Rate of Return (IRR) was Gasoline ( 0.44), and the
highest (IRR) when carrying the mixer type (L8) was (0.60) an increase of 26.6 % over gasoline. the lowest payback period was the type of mixer (L8) was (1.66 year), and the highest payback period When the Gasoline it was (2.27 year).
