Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A dual fuel engine powers a machine by burning natural gas and liquid diesel fuel. When operating in a low load mode, some of the engine cylinders are fueled with a high ratio of diesel/gas, and the remaining cylinders are unfueled. When operating in a high load mode, all of the engine cylinders are fueled with a low ratio of diesel/gas. When operating in a limp home mode, the fuel injectors are configured to inject only diesel fuel into all of the plurality of engine cylinders.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A machine comprising: a machine body supported by a conveyance; a dual fuel compression ignition engine having a plurality of cylinders, being attached to the machine body and operably coupled to the conveyance; a dual fuel system operably coupled to supply the dual fuel compression ignition engine with liquid diesel fuel and natural gas fuel from a single fuel injector directly into respective engine cylinders; an electronic controller in control comm…
