What Is Dual Fueling?
Dual Fueling is simultaneous combustion of two fuels. Gentech Traders Dual Fuel solutions comprise of special kits that can be retrofitted on existing high speed diesel engines to allow use of a mixture of Methane rich ges (most often Natural gas) with Diesel as fuel. After conversion, the engine can continue to operate with only Diesel also, However, a Gas only operations is not possible.
Dual Fuel Technology
The gas used for Dual Fueling is sourced from either piped gas or from local storage. It is injected into the combustion air stream via a Gas Train consisting of a gas filter, a gas pressure regulator and a solenoid valve. A throttle valve at the end controls the proportion of the gas injected The gas train is designed to accept input gas at low pressure and deliver it to the engine at a slightly negative pressure.
Dual Fuel System delivers fuel gas to the combustion cylinders via the Gas Train into a special Air Gas Mixer The mixer is installed on the engine air inlet before the Turbocharger Combustion is commenced by Diesel as the ignition source and followed by ignition of the Gas.
