APG’s Electronic Control Unit (ECU) monitors many base engine functions within the OEM engine system such as coolant temp, exhaust gas temp, load/manifold absolute pressure, etc., either through serial communication [the Controller Area Network (CAN) system (“read only”)] and/or through APG installed sensors.The Dual Fuel controller will not allow natural gas to flow unless the base engine parameters are within normal operating range, therefore “cold” engine start-up is on 100% diesel fuel. The conventional diesel engine governor controller acts to reduce diesel fuel flow as natural gas is introduced to maintain requested 2503 E.

If for any reason, the engine parameters are not within standard operating range, as programmed in the APG ECM, the APG Mixed-Fuel system turns off the NG flow and returns the engine back to 100% diesel fuel operation.APG Gas TrainFrom the fuel source, the APG Dual Fuel system gas train is comprised of a gas filter, zero governor regulator, dual solenoid shut off valve, variable fuel metering valve and induction gas mixer upstream of the diesel engine turbocharger and intake manifold.APG Control SystemAPG’s ECU monitors all engine parameters through the CAN access or installed sensors and operates the natural gas fuel control valve and variable fuel metering valve for seamless operation. Operational information is available through a Remote Display Unit (RDU).Operational Fuel CostDepending on the natural gas fuel source, we expect an average range of 40% - 55% displacement, with peak displacement up to 75%, allowing end users to see a significant reduction in fuel costs.American Power Group, Inc. provides Dual Fuel solutions for many applications including those in the oil & gas, emergency back-up, and industrial markets.Gas Train Assembly for Stationary ApplicationOperating on Dual Fuel (Diesel & Natural Gas)System Number1 Power Range Gas Train Diameter Overall Length System Pressure RequiredS3000100 15-30 KW ½“ 34.37 in ½—3psiS3000200 40-100 KW ¾” 39.44 in 1—4psiS3000300 125-250 KW 1” 45.44 in 1—4psiS3000400 275-525 KW 1 ¼” 47.25 in 4psiS3000500 550-800 KW 1 ½” 47.79 in 4psiS3000600(Dual Turbo)275-525 KW 1 ¼” 50.35 in 4psiS3000700(Dual Turbo)550-800 KW 1 ½” 51.98 in 4psiS3000800(Dual Turbo)825-1250 KW 2” 53.5 in 4psiS3000900(Dual Turbo)825-1250 KW 2” Flanged 41.2 in 4psiS30001000(Dual Turbo)1500-2000 KW 2 ½” Flanged 57.2 in 4psi1All assemblies include a hardware kit with necessary mounting components required for your installation.
