HEINZMANN Dual-Fuel-System for Caterpillar 3516
In co-operation with the Dutch company PonPower, HEINZMANN converted the diesel engines of the demonstration ship Argonon to dual-fuel operation. As a result of the conversion, diesel injection is now only 20 %. In addition to considerable cost savings, HEINZMANN has reduced the ship's emissions and pollution.
The challenge
Lowering costs and reducing emissions.
The solution
The Caterpillar type 3516 engine has a speed of 1000 rpm and a rated output of 1300 kW. By converting to dual-fuel operation, the diesel injection is now only 20 % and contributes 220 kW to the output power. Natural gas accounts for 80 % of the energy supplied, contributing 880 kW to the output. In addition to considerable cost savings, HEINZMANN has helped the ship to reduce emissions and environmental pollution.
