The Dual Fuel Engine
Proven diesel principle + innovative injection system = unbeatable technological performance.
The dual fuel engine is based on the diesel principle. For more than a hundred years the diesel engine has established itself as the most efficient and economic engine. It shares many physical advantages with the dual fuel engine.
Yet the dual fuel engine is capable of more. A high compression ratio raises efficiency. Due to its high CO2 content, weak gas (biogas, sewage and landfill gas) has a high antiknock rate, making it highly suitable for combustion in dual fuel engines. Biogas is admixed to the intake air. This weak gas-air mixture is compressed in the engine, and the injection of a small portion of fuel initiates the ignition in the combustion chamber.
Innovative: effective
To use the thermodynamic advantages of the diesel principle for biogas combustion to full capacity, we modified the diesel engine to a dual fuel engine. For instance, an optimised camshaft makes sure that the flushing leakage of biogas can be minimised.
The major modification for achieving the best efficiency is without doubt the intelligent fuel injection system. Higher efficiency means higher energy yield. This ensures the efficient use of primary products and cost-effective operations.
