ABC 12VDZ DF Genset

12-cylinder V medium-speed dual-fuel genset from ABC running on natural gas (CNG/LNG) with diesel pilot ignition, using a low-pressure gas system, or on diesel at any time.

Description

The ABC 12VDZ DF genset is a medium-speed, 12-cylinder V-engine generating set from Anglo Belgian Corporation, based on the DZC family, in dual-fuel configuration. It runs on natural gas (CNG or LNG) and can switch to diesel at any time, ensuring continuity if gas is unavailable.

How it works

An air/gas mixture is fed to the cylinders and compressed; a small diesel pilot injection provides ignition. The strong ignition allows operation on gases of low calorific value and fluctuating ignition characteristics, with performance and response similar to a standard diesel engine.

Low-pressure gas system

  • Gas supplied at very low pressure, up to about 500 mbar, avoiding gas compressors in some systems
  • Gas line between gas train and engine at or slightly below atmospheric pressure, so a leak draws air into the pipe rather than releasing gas
  • Gas mixer and turbocharger provide a homogeneous gas/air mixture
  • No common rail needed: pilot fuel via direct mechanical PLN (pump-line-nozzle) injection
  • Simple, robust design
