When the relative conversion unit is installed, engine LGW 627 can operate with LPG fuel (liquid petroleum gas).
LPG is a mixture of hydrocarbons, amongst which propane and butane are present in major proportions.
This fuel is considered a valid alternative to gasoline (petrol) particularly owing to its lower cost and less polluting emissions.
When LPG fuelled engine LGW 627 is installed, remember that any variations to the intake and exhaust system (pipe
diameters and lengths, type of filter and silencer, etc.) will involve a variation to the carburation.
Optimizing of the process must be ascertained beforehand in the Lombardini test rooms. Failure of Lombardini to
approve this type of modification shall relieve the same from all liability for operating faults and for any damage the
engine might sustain.
Operation of the LPG conversion unit.
LPG flows from the tank and reaches the regulator/atomizer through the high pressure pipe.
The gas flow is regulated by a solenoid valve that remains closed when the engine is at a standstill or when it is fuelled with
gasoline (petrol).
The gas changes from the liquid to gaseous state in the regulator/atomizer, while the hot water of the cooling system supplies
the heat required for atomizing.
LPG in the gaseous state and at low pressure reaches the mixer, which doses the gas flow in proportion to engine
requirements, controlled by the vacuum created in the mixing devices.
