Description
Summary:Popularity of methane-containing gaseous fuels has slowly been growing since their appearance, especially in the last decades. Occasional non-availability of liquid fossil fuels, the necessity to reduce the transportation costs and to improve the air quality are the basic factors which stimulated development of gas utilization technologies - from accumulation, compression and deflation of gas to its usage in internal combustion engines. Since then different solutions have been offered, and the authors are reviewing them - from the first use of natural gas to nowadays. Metāna saturošo gāzu popularitāte kopš to atklāšanas ir pakāpeniski augusi, jo īpaši pēdējās desmitgadēs. Šķidro fosilo degvielu ierobežotā pieejamība dažādos laika periodos, transporta izdevumu izmaksu samazināšana, nepieciešamība uzlabot gaisa kvalitāti - tie ir pamatfaktori, kas sekmējuši gāzes izmantošanas tehnoloģiju attīstību, sākot no gāzes uzkrāšanas, kompresijas un izplūdes sistēmām, un beidzot ar to izmantošanu iekšdedzes motoru darbināšanai. Šajā laikā ir parādījušies dažādi šo tehnoloģiju risinājumi, un dotais raksts sniedz pārskatu par tiem, sākot no pirmās dabasgāzes izmantošanas līdz pat mūsdienām.
