A system and attendant structural components for incorporating an alternate fuel supply, such as of the type used in combination with a conventional distillate fuel, to power a heavy duty industrial vehicle, such as a mine haul dump truck. The system and attendant structure includes a mounting assembly structured for containment and support of the alternate fuel and a containment area disposed on the vehicle and structured and dimensioned to retain the mounting assembly therein. The containment area and the mounting assembly are disposed in laterally adjacent, exposed relation to an operator area of the mine haul truck, wherein the mounting assembly and the containment area are cooperatively disposed and structured to facilitate storage of the alternate fuel and operative communication and distribution thereof with the powering engine of the mine haul vehicle.

A system and attendant assembly for incorporating at least one alternate fuel supply, such as of the type used in combination with a conventional distillate fuel, to power a heavy duty industrial vehicle, such as a mine haul dump truck. The system and attendant assembly includes a mounting assembly structured for containment and support of a primary fuel tank and an auxiliary fuel tank. The mounting assembly is disposed on a mounting area laterally adjacent between the two tires on a side of the truck, wherein the mounting assembly and mounting area are cooperatively disposed and structured to facilitate storage of the alternate fuel and operative communication and distribution thereof with the powering operations of the vehicle.

An embodiment of a mixing assembly for mixing at least two fluids, comprises a housing and an injector body disposed concentrically therein, a vorticing element disposed about the injector body, and a compression element disposed about an outlet of the injector body. The housing is disposed for passage of a first fluid therethrough. The injector body being disposed within the housing and further disposed for the introduction of a second fluid within the flow path of the first fluid.

Mixing assembly

A system and attendant structural assembly operative to establish a coordinated mixture of gaseous and distillate fuels for an engine including an electronic control unit (ECU) operative to monitor predetermined engine data determinative of engine fuel requirements and structured to regulate ratios of the gaseous and distillate fuel of an operative fuel mixture for the engine. The system and assembly includes at least one mixing assembly comprising an integrated throttle body and air gas mixer directly connected to one another, wherein the throttle body is disposed in fluid communication with a pressurized gaseous fuel supply and the air gas mixer is disposed in fluid communication with a flow of intake air to a combustion section of the engine. In use, the throttle body is structured to direct a variable gaseous fuel flow directly to the air gas mixer for dispensing into the intake air flow to the combustion section.

Fuel mixture system and assembly

A mounting assembly for supporting a fuel supply on a vehicle, which is specifically adapted for the operable support and positioning of an auxiliary fuel supply. The vehicle with which the mounting assembly is utilized may vary significantly, but is primarily structured for use on mine haul vehicles, bulldozers, and other heavy duty commercial vehicles, wherein the operation thereof is significantly benefited or enhanced through the provision of an auxiliary, or alternate fuel supply such as, but not limited to, liquid natural gas (LNG), selectively powering the engine of the vehicle as determined by an improved electronic control system. The mounting assembly comprises a containment structure in the form of at least one fuel tank and a housing is structured to enclose the fuel tank. A base supports the housing and provides a pivot point about which the housing may be disposed between a first and second orientation.

A bi-fuel refrigeration system and method of retrofitting a refrigeration system for the same. The system includes an engine in energy supplying relation to a refrigeration unit, said engine running off a constant predetermined amount of gaseous fuel and a variable amount of distillate fuel. An electronic control unit generates control signals to dictate the ratio of gaseous to distillate fuel is used by the engine. An actuator is structured to provide isochronous control of the system, and is accordingly disposed in flow adjusting relation to the distillate fuel intake to variably adjust the amount of distillate fuel injected into the engine. The method of retrofitting includes at least inserting a gaseous fuel supply and mixer into the air supply line, inserting an electronic control unit for isochronous control of the system, and inserting an actuator for isochronous control of the amount of distillate fuel used in the system.

A control system operative to establish a coordinated composition of gaseous fuel and distillate fuel specifically adaptable for use in high capacity, off-road, mine haul vehicles and including an electronic control unit structured to modulate a throttle position signal from the vehicle throttle assembly and transmit the modulated throttle position signal to a vehicle engine control assembly. The electronic control unit concurrently generates an auxiliary fuel control signal to a gaseous control unit, dependent at least in part, on the operating modes and operating characteristics of the vehicle. The auxiliary control signal is determinative of a quantity of gaseous fuel to be included in an operative fuel mixture, wherein said modulated throttle position signal and said auxiliary control signal are determinative of the operative fuel mixture on which the vehicle engine operates during predetermined ones of the operating modes of the vehicle engine.

An device and attendant method for interfacing with a locomotive engine. An illustrative embodiment of the device includes at least one sensor disposed in a sensing relationship with a relay bank of the locomotive engine. The sensor is structured for determination of a state of the relay bank. The sensor is further structured to determine a corresponding throttle notch position of the locomotive engine from the state of the relay bank. The device also includes at least one indicator in a communicating relationship with said one sensor. The indicator is structured to indicate the corresponding throttle notch position. The present invention further relates to a method for interfacing with a locomotive engine.
