VariFuel3

The new VariFuel3 air/gas mixer is based on the general operating principle of the VariFuel2 series, but was improved from the design perspective.
The installation of the one-piece flow bodies, for example, will be possible without completely dismantling the gas/air mixer.

Varifuel3 air/gas mixers are suitable for a wide range of gas types:

  • Natural gas
  • Biogas
  • Landfill gas
  • Sewage gas
  • Wood gas
  • Wellhead gas
  • Mine gas

General Features

  • More precise regulation due to improved fuel ring design for all fuel types
  • Cast housing and inlet parts
  • Optimized/reduced number of available flow bodies
  • Simplified installation due to reduced weight and number of parts reduces costs and installation time
  • New bayonet connector improves stability
  • Full compatibility with VariFuel2 and VariFuel2+ inlet and outlet flanges
  • Compatible with the MOTORTECH VariStep and VariStep3
Operating Principle

Basic Design

The main task of a gas mixer is to mix the fuel (gas) and air in such a way that optimum combustion takes place in the gas engine. High efficiency and low emissions, in accordance with current regulations, are the decisive parameters for optimization.

In the VariFuel2, air and gas are mixed according to the Venturi principle. The air is sucked through the air intake into the Venturi nozzle by the suction vacuum of the engine. Due to the Venturi principle, a vacuum is created at the narrowest point, which sucks the gas through the gas inlet. In this way, gas and air are mixed and released at the mixture outlet. Various mixer sizes and flow bodies (1) in the Venturi nozzle allow different volumetric flows to be achieved.

Regulation of the Air/Fuel Mixture

The fuel (gas) is guided into the nozzle via the adjustable openings (2) in a fuel ring (3). The openings of the fuel ring are adjusted by a drive belt (4) via a stepper motor. The stepper motor (5) can be controlled by the VariStep3 stepper motor driver, which can process the signals of a master control. In addition, the VariFuel2 air/gas mixers are equipped with a port for an air pressure gauge and a connection for the pulse line of a zero pressure regulator.

VariFuel3 Air/Gas Mixers

VariFuel3 air/gas mixers are specially designed for use with multiple gas-powered gas-otto-engines and are based on the general operating principle of the VariFuel2 series. The geometry of the built-in fuel ring, adapted to the application, ensures improved engine starting behavior and control of the air-fuel ratio on multiple gas engine applications.
