Greener Energy

Other important benefits and features

� ComAp Bi-fuel is a more environmentally friendly solution for Diesel engines

� Emission reductions possible:• Reduction of CO2 – 5% to 20%• Reduction of NOx – 30% to 40%• Reduction of SOx – 70% to 100%• Reduction of Particulate emissions (PM) – up to 50%

� Together with the option of the fitment of a catalytic convertor, significant reduction of CO can also be expected (please enquire at [email protected]).

� Fuel flexibility � Maintenance savings – longer oil life and increased periods between required maintenance intervals � No de-rating of engine power output or performance – ideal for transient loads � Fully automatic and dynamic solution which will safely maximize the substituted gas � All engine parameters are kept within the limits specified by the engine manufacturer: • Engine boost air and exhaust temperatures measurement, monitoring/protection• Minimum & Maximum Gas pressure measurement, monitoring/protection• Comprehensive Knocking detection system – Frequency sensors fitted to every cylinder (InteliBifuel 20)• Diesel portion mapping and measurement• Actual Load measurement• Minimum Load gas protection

� Smooth transition between diesel and bi-fuel modes at any time � Non intrusive solution – no change of any engine parts required

� Gas/diesel ratio display � Full history files recording � Remote monitoring, control and configuration via PC or via the internet

COMAP INTELIBIFUEL – THE PRACTICAL SOLUTION 3

Solution

The Bi-fuel principle is based on adding gas to the engine (this can be also perceived as an addition of an alternative energy – e.g. the gas).

Generator engines are typically governed and therefore must maintain the same RPM at all times, when an alternative energy (the gas) is introduced to the governed engine there is simply less energy (or power) required to be delivered by the engine’s diesel governor. This allows InteliBifuel to control precisely the amount of gas being introduced to the engine and in doing so enable lower quantities of diesel to be used to provide the power. The diesel engine principal does not change – the engine is still dieseling and the diesel fuel is required to provide 30% of the engine power, parts lubrication, cooling and as an ignition source for the gas.

ComAp’s quality and fully automated InteliBifuel solution ensures that all key engine safety parameters are met at all times. Should any engine parameter move towards a maximum limit, the amount of gas will automatically decrease and adjust itself and should any of the engine manufacture’s parameters be exceeded for any reason, gas is immediately stopped and the engine continues to operate on 100% diesel without any interruption of the power supply. By this principle InteliBifuel achieves the highest possible gas/diesel ratio.

On the next page is an example of ComAp InteliBifuel system used in paralleling gensets application. However, InteliBifuel can be confi gured for various applications: pumps, frac trucks, heavy mining trucks, locomotives, ships, etc. Please contact [email protected] for more information.

How it works

Frequently asked questions

1. How much diesel can be replaced?Depending on the type of engine typical gas/diesel ratios after conversion are up to 70% gas/30% diesel. There are additional factors which can also affect gas/diesel ratios such as: engine condition, ambient weather conditions at the site, site load variability, and gas quality etc. 2. Is my engine suitable?Yes. Any 4 stroke diesel engine is generally suitable.3. Will Bi-fuel affect engine performance?No, the engine performance will remain the same as before the conversion. The engine can still operate up to full or maximum load at any time; it should be noted that the best gas/diesel ratios are normally achieved at around 80% of nominal engine power, which is usual for a continuous operation. When the engine needs to operate above 80% of nominal engine the ComAp InteliBifuel automatically decreases the amount of gas. Also the engine’s response to load steps and transient loads or changes will remain exactly the same as before the conversion.

4. Does ComAp InteliBifuel system interfere with the existing control system on my engine?

No, InteliBifuel does not interfere with the existing engine control system nor does it control the engine in any way or stop the engine at any time. InteliBifuel is mainly concerned with the precise control of the gas and protection of the engine when operating in Bi-fuel mode. Gas is only introduced to the engine once the engine has already started and is running on 100% diesel.5. What warranty or guarantee is provided

by ComAp?ComAp has a standard two year warranty for all ComAp products.6. What types of gases can be used?ComAp InteliBifuel will safely maximize the use of any available combustible gas, i.e. natural gas, well gas, bio gas, landfi ll gas, propane gas, coal gas, CNG, LNG.

Key Elements of the system

The InteliBifuel CU is the highly fl exible main control unit of the ComAp fully featured InteliBifuel solution. This sophisticated Bi-fuel (dual fuel) controller has outstanding monitoring, protection and control features including allocation for J1939 protocol and/or sensors that may be used in order to convert any type of diesel engine to Bifuel operation.

The InteliBifuel CU protects the engine during Bifuel operation by controlling the gas throttle valve and gas shut off safety solenoid valves, preventing the engine from exceeding any critical safety parameters.

This advanced controller is designed to communicate through both standard and proprietary CAN J1939 communication protocols to a wide range of EFI engines including: Caterpillar, Cummins, Detroit Diesel, Deutz, GM, Isuzu, Iveco, John Deere, MAN, MTU, Perkins, Scania, Sisu, Volvo Penta and others.
