Dual Fuel Engine

The Dual Fuel engine is a kind of engine that utilizes a mixture of diesel fuel and gas fuel or can operate off of diesel by its self. The dual fuel engine is not capable of working on gas alone. These engines do not have ignition systems and do not utilize spark plugs.



As the engine is not a pure diesel engine and diesel is not a pure gas, this machine does suffer from poor fuel efficiency and Methane slippage. Like for instance, the fuel efficiency can be 5% to 8% less than in a comparable lean-burn, spark-ignited engine at 100 percent load. It can even be greater on lower loads.



Lift Truck Classification and Fuel Sources

There are certain recycling materials handling applications which can prove very difficult for lift trucks. Like for example, scrap metal is among these issues. In order to successfully handle things like this requires using the right type of machinery for the job.



In this write-up, the 7 major lift truck classes are discussed, including the power sources such as liquid propane gas, hydrogen fuel cell, gasoline, diesel and electric. The power source is linked to some of these specific classes. The main power sources for forklifts comprise Gasoline, Battery, Diesel, Propane and Fuel Cell.



Electric powered trucks are the most common, mainly Class III, III and class I forklifts. Internal combustion engines are more common in Classes IV and V. The most popular electric power source is the lead-acid battery. Amongst internal combustion trucks, roughly more than 90 percent are powered by propane.



The battery is the forklifts most common power source. Battery fueled models make up about 60% of the new forklifts sold in the USA. Their benefits include: less maintenance requirements, quiet operation, the ability to be utilized indoors and outdoors with no harmful emissions.
