LPG boosting of marine trubo diesel engines
Posted: Wed Feb 06, 2008 12:34 pm
hi Sharkey and thanks for the forum,
I have been following your LPG boost conversion on the EV and other diesel.
I am a gas engineer by trade ( as well as a Process Chem Eng), but have worked for BOC & APCI before. I am now about to embark on a project to boost my marine volvo penta turbo diesel engine.
Has anyone done a marine engine so far and have they been able to find a valve with a needle valve on one side and a pressure bellows on the other side to act as a control valve on boost pressure????
I know some of the commercial systems like "Power-Shot" use this type of valve. If i can't come right, I'll be a few mods to a turbo waster gate type valve.
kind regards
Turbo Tony
