ComAp, a market leader in engine control solutions, have developed an easy to fit bi-fuel management package including a range of InteliBifuel controllers for use as a standard control platform for diesel generators. The new control system is ideally suited to generator packagers and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) looking to deliver more economically beneficial power packages.

ComAp's simple bi-fuel conversion modifies your original diesel power generation engine so that it uses natural gas as the main fuel - substantially reducing operating costs. It works by introducing gas into the engine and then electronically controlling gas flow dependent on engine speed and output.

Bi-fuel conversion requires virtually no engine modification and brings benefits in every application:

Affordable diesel engines combined with inexpensive natural gas

Economical solution for slow-speed, middle-speed and high-speed engines

Flexible use of fuel (can even use gas that would normally be flared as a by-product)

Guaranteed power output

Efficient and safe operation with lower emissions

Longer engine life and reduced maintenance costs

Bi-fuel/dual-fuel control system package

InteliBifuel 20 is a control system package which will enable 4 stroke diesel engines, generating sets or pumps to operate on Bi-fuel/dual-fuel (a mixture of 2 fuels at the same time) 

The controller package is suitable for all diesel engines up to a maximum of 20 cylinders and for various types of gases – natural gas, well gas, landfill gas, coal gas, propane gas, biogas and others

The InteliBifuel 20 control package includes:

InteliBifuel CU – a highly configurable expandable Bi-fuel control unit with built-in PLC functions

InteliBifuel DENOX 20 – an anti-knocking system with multiple (up to 20) channels

InteliBifuel DFM – a Dual Fuel Module for fuel control and monitoring

Fully automatic and dynamic Bi-fuel control solution mainly concerned with the safe control and precise modulation and maximization the substituted fuel (typically gas) to a diesel engine

Primary parameters are set with strict attention to engine safety, monitoring and protection

Integrated proactive knocking and misfiring protection control (up to 20 channels)

Support of engines with EFI (ECU) - CAN/J1939 or Cummins Modbus

500 event driven history records

Engine measurement from sensors or via J1939

14 binary inputs, 14 binary outputs, 8 analog inputs

Expandable to over 100 binary inputs and outputs is available via additional modules

3 level password protection

Remote control and monitoring via analog/GSM modem, SMS or Internet

Configurable PLC functions (Logical, Mathematical, Comparators, Analog switch, PID loops, Counters, Timers, Delay and others)

RS232, Modem, Modbus, Internet communication

EN, UL, CSA, NFPA certifications

Electronic potentiometers

A choice of proven and reliable microprocessor controlled devices designed for control and regulation systems.
