Alternative dual fuel system for diesel engines, using LPG or CNG fuel.
The ALEX DIESEL system is based on the mixing of 2 fuels: diesel oil and gas. The controller limits the injection of diesel oil to the amount that allows self-ignition in the cylinder, and in its place gives a precise dose of gas. The share of gas in the ALEX DIESEL installation is on average up to 30% LPG or 50% CNG. Such proportions of additional fuel guarantee the correct operating conditions of the engine and the entire system.
Adding gas, which acts as a catalyst to the fuel mixture, allows the diesel to burn more efficiently, which is practically impossible in an ordinary diesel engine. Diesel engines burn most of the injected diesel fuel, but there is always some part that turns into exhaust gas (containing, among others: hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide and carcinogenic solid particles). In the ALEX DIESEL system, thanks to the improved combustion efficiency of a mixture of gas and diesel fuel, the emission of CO2, solid particles and nitrogen oxides is much lower.
Installation of the ALEX DIESEL system increases the torque and engine power. The temperature and emission of exhaust gases do not exceed the ranges established for the base fuel supply – diesel fuel. Thanks to this, the system does not adversely affect the engine’s service life and generates economic and ecological benefits.
