    Abstract: A cryogenic LNG fuel system is provided that includes a tank for storing LNG and a LNG fill system including a LNG inlet passage for directing a flow of LNG into the tank. A cryogenic pump is in fluid communication with the tank and includes a pumping element at least partially immersed in the LNG for directing the LNG out of the tank and a seal. A lubricant system is provided that includes a lubricant reservoir and a lubricant inlet passage in communication with the lubricant reservoir and the LNG inlet passage. The lubricant system is adapted to introduce the lubricant into the flow of LNG in the LNG inlet passage such that at least a portion of the lubricant is entrained in the LNG in the LNG inlet passage and carried into the tank.

    Abstract: A dual fuel engine utilizes a compression ignited pilot injection of liquid diesel fuel to ignite a mixture of gaseous fuel and air in each engine cylinder. The gaseous fuel is injected at a relatively low pressure directly into the engine cylinder from a fuel injector. The liquid diesel fuel is injected directly into the engine cylinder from the same fuel injector. In-cylinder dynamic gas blending during the compression stroke can reduce potential hydrocarbon slip that could occur when unburned fuel resides in crevice volumes within the engine cylinder.

    Abstract: A compression ignition engine is fueled from common rail fuel injectors that predominately inject natural gas fuel that is compression ignited with a small pilot injection of liquid diesel fuel. Before and after a rapid load loss transient, the liquid and gaseous rail pressures are controlled toward respective pressures based upon engine speed and load. During the transient, the liquid rail pressure is controlled relative to the gas rail pressure in order to maintain the liquid rail pressure greater than the gas pressure during the transient to avoid migration gaseous fuel into the liquid fuel side of the system.

    Abstract: A gaseous fuel engine combines the efficiencies associated with high compression ratio engines with the attractiveness of fueling with natural gas. Each engine cylinder has an associated fuel injector positioned for direct injection and supplied with gaseous fuel from a high pressure common rail. A separate ignition prechamber is also supplied with natural gas and includes an ignition device. Hot gas generated by igniting a mixture of gaseous fuel and air in the prechamber are used to ignite a much larger charge of gaseous fuel injected into the engine cylinder from the fuel injector. The engine has a compression ratio greater than 14: to 1.

    Abstract: The disclosure describes an engine system having liquid and gaseous fuel systems, each of which injects fuel directly into an engine cylinder. A controller controls the pumping of a liquefied natural gas (LNG) in the gaseous fuel system using variable speeds for reciprocally moving a pumping piston of a pumping element with a drive assembly. The controller adjustably controls the drive assembly of the pump system to vary a time period for the pump cycle based upon a comparison of a pressure measured in the accumulator and a target pressure condition. When the accumulator pressure satisfies the target pressure condition, the controller is adapted to control the drive assembly such that the pumping element is in a creep mode in which the pumping piston continues to move, but produces no more than a nominal amount of compressed LNG.
