DUAL-FUEL™ TECHNOLOGY Current Dual-Fuel™ Technology Dual-Fuel™ is fitted onto a standard diesel engine‚ which operates unchanged‚ except power is generated by mostly clean natural gas. A measured quantity of natural gas is mixed with the air just before it enters the cylinder and compressed to the same levels as the diesel engine to maintain efficiency. The natural gas mixture does not ignite spontaneously under compression‚ so the Dual-Fuel™ engine uses a small injection of diesel fuel‚ around

* The sun has produced energy for billions of years. Solar energy is the sun’s rays (solar radiation) that reach the Earth. This energy can be converted into other forms of energy‚ such as heat and electricity. * In the 1830s‚ the British astronomer John Herschel famously used a solar thermal collector box (a device that absorbs sunlight to collect heat) to cook food during an expedition to Africa. Today‚ people use the sun’s energy for lots of things. solar energy can be used to: * Heat
