dualfuelmotorer

Dual fuel motorer, also known as dual fuel vehicles, consist of engines that can operate on two different types of fuels concurrently or in succession. The primary fuels used for dual fuel energy generation are typically natural gas and diesel, with the diesel fuel used as an ignition source.

Dual fuel technology uses diesel fuel to ignite the natural gas in a process known as homogenous charge compression ignition or diesel knock. The diesel fuel injects into the intake manifold, which assists in the Compression-Ignition process of igniting the natural gas.

When compared to traditional fossil fuel-based engines, dual fuel vehicles can offer a number of benefits including lower emissions and improved fuel efficiency. They can reduce greenhouse gas emissions and particulate matter emissions by up to 30% while also decreasing fuel consumption. The engines are less prone to knocking and the technique used to modify regular engines is more cost-effective in its implementation.

There are different types of dual fuel vehicles, including gasoline dual fuel and diesel dual fuel models. The concept of dual fuel vehicles is already being utilised by various global companies and is one of the ways forward in addressing the complexities of pollution and emission present in fossil fuel combustion.

Dual fuel technology is used in both heavy-duty and light-duty engines. It is a viable alternative to conventional fuels as it can decrease fuel consumption and lower greenhouse gas emissions and aid towards cleaner and more environmentally friendly towns.
