1 Answer

Answer :

Working of LPG Kit:

LPG Tank: It is used to store the LPG at 10 bar

Filler Valve: It allows the LPG into the tank while feeling.

Pressure Relief Valve: It is used to limit pressure built up inside the tank.

Fuel Selector Switch: This switch used to select the type of fuel (LPG/Petrol)

Electronic Control Unit (ECU): It controls accurate rate of fuel delivery at right time at right cylinder.

Pressure Regulator (Vaporizer): It reduces the pressure from 10 bar to injection pressure 1.35 bar.

Gas Distributor: It supplies the gas at atmospheric pressure as per the engine requirement.

LPG Injector: It open & close based on the ECU signal & injects the gas accordingly.

Working of LPG Kit:
The LPG kit contains a duel fuel conversion system which comes with the following components –
1. Tank, which contains the highly pressurized LPG in liquid form, comes in capacities of 30 to 100 liters.
2. The multivalve which controls and checks the filling of the tank comes with a 80% stop-fill safety feature. That’s means the valve closes not allowing further filling when 80% of the tank is filled.
3. A device which automatically shuts of the tank and the fuel supply in the event of a ruptured line.
4.LPG solenoid valve
5.Gasoline solenoid valve
6.Electronic control module which controls of the flow of LPG in fuel injection systems
7.LPG / Petrol switch, which enables the driver to choose which fuel he wishes to use
8.Pressure regulator Mixer / gas injection which flows the LPG into the combustion chamber
