 INTRODUCTION
• Researchers are finding alternatives to
fossil fuel.
• Some presented the idea of electric motor,
hybrid engine and newly developed
Compressed Air Engine (CAE).
• A Compressed Air Engine is a type of
engine which uses compressed air
technology to generate useful work output.
 INTRODUCTION
• A compressed air engine, using
compressed air, which is stored in a tank,
then through the pressure relief valve and
buffer tank, it enters the compressed air
engine, in which the compressed air
pushes the piston to do work and output
mechanical energy.
• Instead of mixing fuel with air and burning
it in engine to drive pistons with hot
expanding gases
 INTRODUCTION
• Compressed air engine uses the
expansion of compressed air to drive their
pistons. It is a kind of power device which
converts the compressed air energy into
mechanical energy by expanding.
• The piston converts the compressed air
into mechanical energy, which is then
transferred to the wheels by means of
chain sprocket mechanism and used to
operate the vehicle.
 LITERATURE SURVEY
• Compressed air engine works on
renewable energy source.
• Now worldwide researchers/inventors are
paying full attention towards use of
sustainable energy resource.
 LITERATURE SURVEY
• Behavior of compressed air is clean, simple and
efficient. There are no dangerous exhaust fumes when
compressed air is used as a utility.
• Compressed air is normally used in pressure ranges
from 1 bar to 414 bar (14 to 6004 PSI) at various flow
rates from as little as 0.1 m (3.5 CFM - cubic feet per
minute) and up.
• The first air cars will almost certainly use the
Compressed Air Engine (CAE) developed by the French
company, Motor Development International (MDI).

GAP ANALYSIS
 PROBLEM DEFINATION

• In compressed air engine we don’t get

high efficiency as compared to diesel and
petrol engines.
• In compressed air engine there is problem
of refilling air in tank.
• Compressed air engine has high initial
cost and running cost.
