dual-fuel burner / gas / diesel

Alfa Laval’s recent acquisition of gas combustion technology provides DFDE or LSD engines with a compact gas combustion unit (GCU) that has lower installation costs and operating expenditures than comparable units.
Alfa Laval is dedicated to LNG transport; therefore we have added yet another security-enhancing solution for LNG carriers. The Alfa Laval GCU joins the inert gas generators, burners, boilers, heat exchangers and more in our already extensive LNG portfolio.
The Alfa Laval Gas Combustion Unit (GCU) conveniently handles boil-off on vessels with dual-fuel or low-speed diesel engines. With a uniquely compact design and low maintenance operation, it combines easy integration with true reliability.
The most important feature for your LNG business is that Alfa Laval GCU has lower installation costs and operating expenditures than comparable units and comes with our worldwide network of service and support.
Application
During the last decade, the major part of new-building LNG carriers have changed main propulsion system from steam turbine into Dual Fuel Diesel Electric (DFDE) propulsion.
The use of DFDE engines or the new generation 2-stroke DF engines provides LNG ship-owners and operators with economical and environmentally sound alternatives to traditional systems.
