Method for the conversion of a diesel engine into a spark ignition engine fed with liquified gas and the engine thereby obtained

摘要

Spark ignition engine fed by liquified gas for stacker truck or the like, which is obtained by the conversion of a suitable diesel engine, in that the head of the pistons is modified in such a way that a compression ratio suitable for the new fuel is obtained, and the injection pump (18), the injection nozzles (22), the glow plugs (24), the filters (12, 14) and the diesel oil tank (2) are removed and a liquified gas tank (4), a solenoid valve (26), a filter (16), a reducing atomiser (28), a mixer (30), an ignition distributor (32) a high voltage coil (40) and an electronic ignition (42) for the spark plugs (44) are fitted. The engine obtained by the conversion is especially advantageous owing to its robustness and economy in operation.
