How it works:
Propane (LPG) is introduced to a Turbo Charged Diesel Engine, in the fresh air charge,
prior to the turbo charger inlet, via the Diesel Magnums Injection Nozzle or Venturie
Adapter, acting as an accelerant, promoting a more even burn of the Diesel Fuel. This
evening effect provides more complete combustion of the Diesel Fuel injected, resulting
in more power, better fuel efficiency and less emissions.
Propane (LPG) by itself, will NOT self ignite in a compression ignition Diesel Engine. On
a typical power stroke of a Diesel Engine, with supplemental Propane (LPG) added to
the fresh air charge, Diesel Fuel is injected, initiating combustion, which then in turn
ignites the Propane Air mixture in the chamber. The result is, rather than a violent rapid
explosion, in a concentrated area where the fuel is injected; a more even smooth burn
takes place in the entire chamber, further down the power stroke, utilizing more of the
existing Diesel Fuel Charge.
Emission reductions including PM (particulate matter or black smoke) and NOX (oxides
of nitrogen) can be significantly reduced with the “Diesel Magnum” Propane injection
system, by accelerating the flame front or burn of the existing fuel. Two things happen.
(1) NOX is reduced by enhancing the mixture at the tip of the flame front, with the
correct amount of Propane (LPG), which reduces the residence time of the
Diesel Fuel Burn, in a high temperature area.
(2) PM is reduced, by enhancing the burn rate of the existing Diesel Fuel through out
the entire combustion chamber, rather than just the intense hot area. The result
is, more of the existing Diesel Fuel charge is burned along the colder areas of the
combustion chamber that normally would be expelled out the exhaust system.
Fuel Efficiency can be significantly increased with the “Diesel Magnum” propane
injection system, with the accelerated evening effect of combustion, by the introduction
of the proper amount of LPG (Propane) to the combustion chamber. Basically the Diesel
Engine becomes much more efficient (burns more of the Diesel fuel charge for a longer
period of time) and naturally if it is mechanical injection, or electronic injection, the
system will reduce the Diesel Fuel trim (amount of fuel injected) to achieve the same
requested RPM, resulting in less Diesel Fuel needed to perform the same functions.
