Improving Fuel and Air Mixture

Engines converted to lean burn design require attention to fuel injection. Optimum fuel admission measures differ from engine to engine, but may include:

  • Using directional fuel injection (DFI)
  • Modifying fuel cams and using DFI
  • Upgrading to Dresser-Rand's Fuel Management System for four-cycle gas engines

Directional fuel injection:

  • Provides high velocity gas injection that improves mixing
  • Provides the initial stratification within the main chamber to support adequate mixing in the precombustion chamber
  • Is used with modified cam timing to support lean burn conversion for some Dresser-Rand engines
