Abstract
This article presents an exergetic analyzer, deployed within the MatLab/Simulink environment. As a practical evaluation of this tool, it shall be used to assess the performance, in terms of exergetic efficiency, of the PERKINS 20806A-E18TAG3 engine, in two different operating modes: the first is the original, Diesel fueled, operation and the second is with said engine operating uniquely on natural gas, equipped with a novel engine management system developed by DSofer Ltda. (DSofer) which enables a particularly attractive and efficient conversion. This engine was chosen for it is the one used by EPESA.
