Everyone knows that installing LPG equipment on petrol engines allows saving from 30% to 50% on fuel costs. Installing LPG equipment on a diesel engine, given that it initially consumes less fuel, allows increasing the savings by up to 25%! Thus, on the same vehicle with a petrol and a gas-diesel engine, the fuel costs of the latter will be 2.5-3 times lower!
A gas-diesel engine is modified by installing special LPG equipment (operating on both methane and propane) and certain fine-tuning of the fuel system on a regular diesel engine. A gas-diesel runs on a mixture of diesel fuel and "automotive" gas, methane or propane.
The advantage of such an engine is that when the gas runs out, it can operate in its normal mode - on diesel fuel. When operating in mixed mode, 50-70% of the fuel is gas. The main advantages of gas-diesel engines are:
- Preservation of energy parameters at the level of the base engine
- Increased engine power due to the high octane number of gas
- Increased maximum torque and its shift to the zone of lower crankshaft speeds
- Reduction of exhaust smoke by 2-4 times
- Saving diesel fuel by replacing it with gas
- Lower noise level
- Increased engine oil service life and reduced wear of the cylinder-piston group
- Possibility of converting vehicles, buses, agricultural machinery in operation.
You can evaluate the economic efficiency of a gas-diesel engine using the example of calculating the payback of methane LPG equipment installed on a PAZ 4234 bus with a diesel engine
The most profitable is installing a gas-diesel system on commercial vehicles, trucks, buses, agricultural machinery with intensive use. Installation of a gas-diesel system is possible on vehicles of any manufacturer, both new and used.
The cost of gas-diesel equipment, installation and tuning starts from 20,000 UAH.*
You can get a consultation and order the installation of a gas-diesel system at any service center of the AIS Group of Companies throughout Ukraine, contacts on the website www.ais.ua.
