SUPPLEMENTAL FUEL SYSTEM FOR COMPRESSION-IGNITION ENGINE

DRIVE September 28, 2023
Source
A supplemental fuel system includes a supplemental fuel tank, a first pressure regulator, a second pressure regulator, and a nozzle. The supplemental fuel tank is configured to store a supplemental fuel at a first pressure. The first pressure regulator is configured to reduce the first pressure of the supplemental fuel received from the supplemental fuel tank to a second pressure. The second pressure regulator is configured to reduce the second pressure of the supplemental fuel received from the first pressure regulator to a third pressure. The nozzle is configured to be positioned (i) downstream of the second pressure regulator and (ii) within a conduit of an air supply system for the compression-ignition engine. The nozzle is configured to receive a flow of the supplemental fuel and provide the supplemental fuel to air flowing though the conduit.
