LPG fuelled ENGINE LGW 627
Components of the LPG conversion unit.
To fuel the engine with LPG alone, shut off the bleed tubes 1 (fig.
183a) of the carburetors.
The bleed tubes must be left open if the engine is also or only to
operate with gasoline (petrol).
Regulator/atomizer
The reducer allows LPG to change from the liquid state to the gaseous state. It is a container divided into compartments by
membranes.
Gasification of the LPG notably lowers the pressure and temperature. The heat required is supplied by the hot water from the
engine cooling system that circulates around the regulator/atomizer.
The LPG passes through gas inlet union 1, valve 2 and enters the first stage chamber 3. The flow is dosed by the pressure
exercised by the gas on membrane 4. This causes an expansion which overcomes the resistance opposed by spring 5 and
operates lever 6, which regulates the opening and closing movements of the first stage valve 2.
Engine intake through gas outlet 7 creates a vacuum in the second stage
chamber and produces an axial movement of membrane 8. The membrane
is connected to lever 9 and controls the opening movement of valve 10,
allowing gas to reach the second stage chamber through duct 11 and from
thence to the engine through gas outlet 7. Appropriately calibrated spring 12
retains valve 10 and lever 9.
The idling ignition device consists of a solenoid valve 13 controlled by an
electronic device. Core 14 moves and frees hole 15 from which gas from first
stage 3 is outlet, allowing the engine to idle. If the engine stops, the core de-
energizes and core 14 shuts outlet hole 15. The idling speed is regulated with
adjuster 16.
When the engine starts, the electronic device energizes coil 13, core 14 frees
hole 15 and allows the amount of gas required for ignition to pass through.
