Dual Fuel Engine
DF or Duel Fuel Engines are the kind of engines that can work on a mixture of gas fuel or diesel fuel or it can operate on diesel fuel alone. Duel Fuel engines can not work on gas alone because they do not posses an ignition system, nor do they have any spark plugs.
Because the engine is not a pure diesel engine and diesel is not a pure gas, this machine does suffer from Methane slippage and fuel efficiency. Like for instance, the fuel efficiency may be 5% to 8% less than in a comparable lean-burn, spark-ignited engine at 100% load. It could even be lower or higher loads.
Lift Truck Fuel Sources and Classifications
There are some recycling materials handling applications which could prove really difficult for lift trucks. For instance, scrap metal is amongst these issues. In order to successfully handle things like this requires utilizing the right kind of machinery for the job.
In this write-up, the 7 major lift truck classes are discussed, including the power sources like liquid propane gas, hydrogen fuel cell, gasoline, diesel and electric. The power source is linked to several of these specific classes. The main power sources for forklifts comprise Gasoline, Battery, Diesel, Propane and Fuel Cell.
Electric powered trucks are the most popular, mainly Class III, III and class I forklifts. Internal combustion engines are more common in Classes IV and V. The most popular electric power source is the lead-acid battery. Among internal combustion trucks, approximately over 90 percent are fueled by propane.
The battery is the forklifts most common power source. Battery powered units make up about 60% of the new forklifts sold in the United States. Their benefits comprise: less maintenance requirements, quiet operation, the ability to be utilized inside and outdoors with no harmful emissions.
