Environment-friendly Operation Using LPG on the MAN B&W Dual Fuel ME-GI Engine (CIMAC 2010)
The paper describes the MAN B&W project that resulted in the development of ME-GI series dual duel version. Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is demonstrated as a means to considerably reduce noxious emissions from two-stroke engines. The authors note that limited LNG usage is caused by shortage of small-size LNG terminals and LNG supply ships. As an alternative, liquefied petrol gas (LPG) is considered. LPG is easier available, and, besides, its use does not involve cryogenic technologies, which means notable reduction of initial expenses. The paper is translated into Russian by G.Melnik.
