Powergen Duel Fuel
Conversion Kit
WHAT IS
Duel Fuel
-
Dual Fuelling is simultaneous combustion Methane rich gas (most often Natural gas) with Diesel as fuel.
-
After conversion, the engine can continue to operate with only Diesel also. However, a ‘Gas only’ operation is not possible.
-
During Dual Fuel operation, a reduced quantity of diesel fuel acts as the ignition source for the air-gas mixture.
-
The Methane rich gas mix replaces significant proportion of Diesel to produce equivalent heat energy during combustion in the cylinder.
WHY DUEL FUEL ENGINE
Benefits
-
Flexibility - Can be operated on only diesel in case of non-availability of gas. In case of any DF fault, only DF controller shut off the gas supply and genset will run on diesel only mode.
-
Field conversion is possible from diesel to dual fuel.
-
Reduce the cost of generation - Dual fuel engines deliver financial savings through reduced diesel fuel consumption. Gas is Cheaper than Diesel.
-
Environment protection compared to Diesel engine - Due to clean burning characteristics of Natural Gas, exhaust is cleaner.
-
No power loses or deration - Higher specific power output compared to gas engine and same as diesel engine.
-
Nationwide service network.
-
Low capital cost compared to gas engine
-
Note :- At any time, Dual fuel converted engine can’t be operated with Gas exclusively (100%)
INNOVATION
Dual Fuel Kit Scope components
Gas Train: -
-
Gas filter, Pressure regulator, Gas Pressure Gauge, Zero Pressure regulator, Gas shutoff valve and Gas flow adjusting valve
-
Gas piping from gas train to Gas mixer and Gas mixer unit (depends on number of Turbocharger in engine – same qty as Turbo
Mixer:-
-
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 Turbo charger.
-
Combustion is commenced by Diesel as the ignition source and followed by ignition of the Gas
Sensors:-
-
Gas pressure sensor and Boost pressure sensor
-
Exhaust gas temperature sensor/s and Intake manifold temperature sensor
-
Vibration sensor/s
Control Panel
-
Controller continuously monitors critical engine parameters through the operation and transitions.
-
It provides safety to the engine while operating in the Dual-fuel mode.
-
PLC, input / output units
-
HMI and switches / buttons/ wirings etc
-
Remote monitoring system - Optional with 3 months free subscription
