Bi-Fuel System
The GTI Bi-Fuel System from Altronic offers an affordable and efficient means of operating industrial diesel engines utilizing both diesel and natural gas (or other available gas) as fuel sources. This innovative, patented system, which requires no modification to the internal components of the engine, allows
for operation on natural gas up to a maximum of 70%* of the fuel required to maintain the desired speed and load. Reduced exhaust emissions and fuel costs are just a few of the benefits of Bi-Fuel operation.
The GTI Bi-Fuel System
operates by blending both diesel fuel and natural gas in the combustion
chamber. This is achieved using a fumigated gas-charge design,
whereby natural gas is pre-mixed with engine intake-air and delivered
to the combustion chamber via the air-intake valve. The air-gas mixture
is ignited when the diesel injector sprays a reduced quantity of diesel
fuel into the chamber.
This diesel "pilot" acts as the ignition source for the
primary air-gas combustible mixture. Because the Bi-Fuel System utilizes
the OEM air-intake and diesel injection systems, no internal engine
modifications are required for installation.
