CONVERSION OF DIESEL
& HFO GENERATING SETS
What is and why bi-fuel (dual fuel) conversion?
Bi-Fuel?
Conversion of Diesel Engines to Make BIG savings on
Bi-fuel (two fuels at the same your fuel costs!

Frequently Asked Questions?
What does bi-fuel (dual fuel) What methods/technologies are employed in the bi-
operation actually mean? fuel (dual fuel) conversion provided by ComAp?
ComAp provides two conversion technologies – one for slow/
Bi-fuel (dual fuel) operation means the middle-speed engines (up to 1000 rpm) and the second for
engine uses two fuels (gas and diesel oil) high-speed engines (1200 to 1800 rpm). Therefore the choice
at the same time. Natural gas is intended of the appropriate ComAp solution is determined by the
engine speed and consequent suction/exhaust valve overlap
as the main fuel and diesel oil is used for (i.e. opening of suction and exhaust valves at the same time).
the ignition of the gas/air mixture inside
the cylinder (a portion of diesel oil is Slow/middle-speed engines normally feature a large valve
overlap when the pure air is flushing (cleaning) and cooling the
injected at the end of the compression cylinder. After bi-fuel conversion, it is necessary to continue
stroke, thereby maintaining the original cylinder flushing/cooling by pure air, i.e. gas flow into the
diesel operation principle). cylinder during the valve overlap must be interrupted to avoid
the presence of gas in the hot exhaust manifold (this would
cause a potentially dangerous situation and result in substantial
fuel losses). Therefore, typically for slow and middle-speed
engines, each cylinder is equipped with the patented
electromagnetic gas valve with variable gas injection timing
controlled by a ComAp electronic control system INCON.
