Converting a Sinotruk diesel engine to a natural gas engine is a complex process involving large-scale modifications to the engine structure, fuel system, and control system. This process usually requires professional technical knowledge and experience, as well as compliance with relevant laws and regulations. Here are some basic steps and considerations:
Technical evaluation:
First, it is necessary to evaluate whether the diesel engine is suitable for conversion to a natural gas engine. This includes factors such as the engine model, power, size, and weight.
Determine the type of natural gas engine, such as CNG (compressed natural gas), LNG (liquefied natural gas), or biogas, etc.
Design the conversion plan:
Design a detailed conversion plan, including the conversion of the fuel system, the adjustment of the control system, and possible structural adjustments.
Consider the engine’s combustion chamber design, intake system, exhaust system, cooling system, lubrication system, etc.
Parts replacement and upgrade:
Replace diesel engine parts such as fuel injectors, ignition systems, sensors, etc. to adapt to natural gas fuel.
Upgrade or replace the engine control system to adapt to the combustion characteristics of natural gas fuel.
Installation and testing:
Install new parts and systems according to the conversion plan.
Perform a series of tests, including static and dynamic tests, to ensure the performance and safety of the engine.
Compliance Check:
Ensure that the modified engine meets local emission standards and safety regulations.
Official certification or third-party testing may be required.
Our company currently provides modification parts for this project, the price is about 3000 US dollars. But please note: These parts are only suitable for Sinotruk two-valve engines.
