Marine Dual Fuel Generator Sets, refer to the power generation device that run on mixture both environmentally friendly main fuel and fuel oil, with the Internal combustion engine as the prime mover to drive the alternator and convert mechanical energy into electrical and thermal energy.
The Dual Fuel Gensets solutions allows conventional diesel engines to operate on a mixture of environmentally friendly Main fuel and fuel oil. The Main fuel refers to a clean, low-carbon, or renewable environmentally friendly fuel selected by the user, and Main fuels suitable for dual fuel generator sets include Natural gas, Liquid ammonia, and Methanol, etc. The Fuel oil refers to MGO (Diesel oil) and HFO, wherein the MGO is the pilot oil and also the fuel.
Typical applications for this technology include marine propulsion, the Power Plants etc. The Dual Fuel engines efficiently run on liquid fuels or natural gas with emissions far below the IMO limit.
Classification of Marine Dual Fuel Generator Sets:
According to the different main fuels used, they can be classified into the following categories:
■ LNG Dual Fuel Generator Sets,
■ Ammonia Dual Fuel Generator Sets,
■ Methanol Dual Fuel Generator Sets,
Marine Dual Fuel Generator Sets are a major force in cargo and passenger ship propulsion and hence play a valuable role in facilitating world trade. Four-stroke engines of this type offer a power to weight ratio that makes them ideal for LNG ship, Liquid ammonia carrier, Methanol tanker, cruise vessels, ferries and large multi-purpose freighters.
