Abstract: A system and assembly for modifying a diesel powered electric generator preferably of the reciprocating engine type to the extent that the generator is capable of running on either 100% diesel fuel or in a “bi-fuel” mode which is defined as a mixture of methane based gas and diesel fuel. The system and associated assembly is specifically designed to provide for the automatic or manual switching between the full diesel mode and the gas-diesel fuel or bi-fuel mode for continuous generator operation without interruption in generator output and at substantially equivalent or comparable efficiency levels. A gas control sub-assembly is included for controlling the amount of gas supplied to the driving engine of the generator while operating in the bi-fuel mode, a diesel control sub-assembly is included and designed for controlling the amount of diesel fuel supply to the driving engine while operating in the bi-fuel mode, and an electronic control an monitoring sub-assembly is included and designed for controlling various components of the overall system and is further structured to monitor and display certain data associated with operation and continuous current output within pre-determined, acceptable parameters.

Abstract: A dual fuel engine system and method of operating the engine reduces emission rates of polutants. The dual fuel engine includes a fuel oil supply connected to the engine and a fuel gas supply connected to the engine. Means connected between the fuel oil supply and the engine inject low levels of diesel fuel into the engine. In particular, the injection of diesel fuel is limited to pilot injection quantities only. The exhaust emission of NOx is maintained at less than 1 GM/HP-HR, where natural gas is used as the primary fuel, and less than 0.5 GM/HP-HR where digester gas is used as the primary fuel.

Abstract: Various methods and systems are provided for engine startup. In one example, a method for an engine includes injecting a fuel mixture with a proportion of a first fuel to a second fuel to decrease carbon emissions, in response to detection of or request for the engine to start. The proportion of the first fuel to the second fuel in the injected fuel mixture is decreased in response to engine speed reaching an idling speed. The first fuel may be a non-hydrocarbon-based fuel and the second fuel may be a hydrocarbon-based fuel.
