Typically, installation requires 4-6 hours per diesel generator. The system is designed as a stand-alone external solution, with only a minor modification to the generator’s air inlet. This setup minimizes downtime, allowing for a quick and efficient installation without disrupting operations.

No, the Dual Fuel Kit does not affect the generator’s power output or capacity. It maintains the same performance levels as before the conversion, ensuring that the generator operates efficiently without any derating or loss of power.

The required natural gas pressure ranges from 1 to 4 bar. For other gas pressures or types like LPG, biogas, or LNG, customized solutions are available. This flexibility ensures that the system can accommodate various gas supplies while maintaining optimal performance.

Gas consumption depends on the engine load and capacity. For example, a converted 500 kVA generator typically consumes around 80 SCM/hr, while a 1010 kVA generator may use up to 150 SCM/hr. Consumption rates will vary according to engine load and operating conditions.

No specific certification is needed, as dual fuel technology is recognized as safe and effective by the Ministry of Environment and Forest, NGT, CAQM, and SPCBs. Energeia provides a Commissioning Report, which you can submit to your state pollution control board as proof of compliance with emission standards.

Dual Fuel Technology has been in use globally for over 40 years, initially developed for oil rigs to utilize flared gas in DG sets. It was introduced in India around 2008, following the availability of natural gas. Energeia has since installed over 800 dual fuel kits across various generator sizes in India.

If the Dual Fuel Kit encounters a fault, the system automatically switches back to 100% diesel operation, ensuring uninterrupted performance. The system includes pre-alarms and fault alarms, and any issue triggers a notification to Energeia’s service team, who will respond within 48 hours to address the problem.

The Dual Fuel Kit is installed with minimal modifications, mainly involving the installation of an Air Mixer before the turbocharger, connecting it to the gas train and fuel control valve. This retrofit solution is plug-and-play, requiring no alterations to the engine’s core design or critical parameters.

Safety is ensured by controlling real-time gas injection using a position-controlled gas governor, which responds within 10-15 milliseconds based on engine parameters. Continuous monitoring of load, exhaust temperature, and vibrations, combined with a PLC-based closed-loop control system, ensures safe and efficient operation.

The Energas Dual Fuel Kit is compatible with high-speed diesel engines (1500 RPM) ranging from 62.5 kVA to 3000 kVA. It works with brands like Cummins, Volvo Penta, Kirloskar, Perkins, Mitsubishi, Caterpillar, MTU, and Baudouin. Small-capacity generators below 62.5 kVA are not feasible due to the lack of turbocharging mechanisms.
