Ettes Power Dual Fuel Power Generating Set (100KW~3000KW)
In the oil and gas market, the fuel bill is one of the largest contributors to the total cost of operation. The rapid expansion and abundance of natural gas in some areas of the world is driving a dramatic cost advantage of natural gas over diesel fuel, making natural gas a very economical fuel source for oil and gas operations. For operators of high-horsepower oil and gas equipment, where power density is critical and large quantities of fuel are burned, Dual Fuel (bi-fuel engine) engines provides an opportunity for impressive reductions in total fuel costs by using a technology that substitutes natural gas for diesel fuel in the engine combustion process.
What is Dual Fuel and How Does It Work?
A dual fuel engine (bi-fuel engine) is based on a traditional diesel engine, with the addition of dual fuel-specific hardware (HEINZMANN Dual Fuel System). When the engine is operating in dual fuel mode, natural gas is introduced into the intake system. The air-to-natural gas mixture from the intake is drawn into the cylinder, just as it would be in a spark-ignited engine, but with a leaner air-to-fuel ratio.
Dual Fuel Overview
Mixes natural gas with intake air
Diesel provides ignition source-no spark plugs
Diesel start-up, power density and transient performance
Gas replaces diesel with 50-70% substitution rate
