OptiBlend Technical Advantages
Installation of an OptiBlend System by Hythane Company offers numerous technical advantages, many of which are not found in other dual fuel systems.
- The OptiBlend System offers optimized displacement at all loads.
- Engine type and gas quality are major factors in the amount of diesel fuel that can be displaced.
- The OptiBlend System can independently control a hydrogen stream in addition to the pipeline NG supply. The innovative control strategy optimizes the use of all three fuels to the maximum cost advantage and helps to baseload the hydrogen source.
- In the event of loss of gas supply or other system fault, the OptiBlend System allows the generator to revert back to 100% diesel operation.
The OptiBlend System monitors:
- Exhaust gas temperature, protecting against overheating.
- Diesel fuel level, preventing gas fumigation when the diesel fuel is low.
- Engine knock, limiting gas addition before any potential engine damage can occur.
- Engine vibration, limiting gas in cases of misfire and unstable combustion or speed governing issues.
- Generator frequency, allowing the generator to operate within the OEM’s original governor classification.
- Generator load, protecting against overload conditions and turning off gas at low loads to avoid incomplete combustion.
- The OptiBlend System does not affect engine rating, maintaining engine power equivalent to 100% diesel operation
