Overview
The FG Wilson range of Bi-Fuel generating sets underlines our commitment to meet your specific needs. These new generating sets are specifically designed to allow conventional diesel engines to operate on a mixture of natural gas (70%) or other gas sources (subject to requirements) and diesel (30%). This design will ensure cleaner emissions and lower genset running costs.
Advantages of Bi-Fuel Generators
This range of generating sets offers many of the advantages of spark ignition gas sets such as:
- Cleaner emissions
- Lower maintenance costs
- Lower operating costs (where natural gas is competitive with diesel in price)
While maintaining the advantages of diesel engines over their gas-fuelled equivalent, Bi-Fuel generating sets can offer:
- Diesel genset power ratings maintained
- Quick starting
- Diesel load acceptance/rejection
- Smaller space requirements per kVA
- Lower weight
- Lower initial capital cost
Customer Benefits
- Reduced Energy Costs
- Energy Flexibility
- Lower Exhaust Emissions
- Fast Payback
- Extended Run-Time for Standby Diesel Generator Sets
- Lower Capital Costs
(Relative to 100% Gas Sets)
Gas Control System Features
- Critical Engine Parameters
- Natural Gas Pressure
- Data Logging System
- Real Time Display of Data
- Remote Monitoring
- Auto-Switching of Fuel Modes
Technical Outline
The proprietary mixing system introduces gas to the combustion airflow immediately upstream of the turbo(s) where it is mixed with air and compressed as normal. The gas controls are set to maximise the gas percentage at any stable load, above a minimum engine load of 30%.
All engine parameters such as exhaust temperature, lube oil & cooling water temperatures are kept within normal "diesel" limits for that particular engine. As gas is introduced to the engine the electronic governor reduces the diesel fuel input to the engine, maintains speed stability and deals with load steps. The engine automatically starts and shuts down on diesel fuel only.
Sets are supplied fitted with all necessary bi-fuel equipment including the gas venturi, gas control & monitoring panel and an internationally acceptable gas train. All standard FG Wilson diesel control panels and options are available with Bi-Fuel sets.
