When operating the engine in gas mode, the gas is injected through gas admission valves into the inlet
channel of each cylinder. The gas is mixed with the combustion air immediately upstream of the inlet valve
in the cylinder head. Since the gas valve is timed independently of the inlet valve, scavenging of the cylinder
is possible without risk that unburned gas is escaping directly from the inlet to the exhaust.
The annular space in double wall piping is ventilated artificially by underpressure created by ventilation
fans. The air inlet to the annular space is located at the engine. The ventilation air is to be taken from a
location outside the engine room, through dedicated piping. In addition, the ventilation requirements from
the project specific classification society is to be considered in the design.
