Dual Fuel Engine
The Dual Fuel engine is a kind of engine which utilizes a mixture of diesel fuel and gas fuel or could run off of diesel by its self. The dual fuel engine is not capable of running on gas alone. These engines do not have ignition systems and do not utilize spark plugs.
Because the engine is not a pure diesel engine and diesel is not a pure gas, this machine does suffer from Methane slippage and fuel efficiency. For example, the fuel efficiency may be 5% to 8% less than in a comparable lean-burn, spark-ignited engine at 100 percent load. It could even be lower or higher loads.
Lift Truck Fuel Sources and Classifications
There are some recycling materials handling applications that can prove really challenging for lift trucks. Like for instance, scrap metal is among these issues. In order to successfully handle things like this needs utilizing the right kind of machinery for the task.
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 include Battery, Diesel, Gasoline, Fuel Cell and Propane.
The most popular overall are electric powered trucks, mostly in Class III, II and class I forklifts. In Classes IV and V, internal combustion trucks are more popular. The most popular electric power source is the lead-acid battery. Amongst internal combustion trucks, approximately over 90 percent are propane powered.
The battery is the forklifts most common power source. Battery powered models make up roughly 60 percent of the new forklifts sold within the United States. Their benefits comprise: quiet operation, less maintenance requirements, the ability to be used outside and inside with no harmful emissions.
