Dual fuel test rigs for greater operational flexibility

VPU 500 GI is a pneumatic/hydraulic gas fuel injector test unit suitable for MAN GI engines. The VPU 500 GI gas fuel injector test unit features a robust design and is suitable for testing gas injectors, window and blow-off valves with 300 bar or 400 bar of nitrogen, depending on engine type. The machine is delivered with an engine-specific combined valve holder for injector, window, blow-off/purge and resume valves.

Features of the VPU 500 GI Dual Fuel Test Rig

  • Booster for High-Pressure Simulation: Provides the necessary pressure levels to test the function of the gas injectors.
  • Safety Valves and Sensors: Guarantees safe testing conditions by continuously monitoring system pressure and performance.
  • Gas Leakage Monitor: Easily monitor test results and detect gas leakage.

Key Benefits of Using the VPU 500 GI Test Unit

  • Increased Operational Flexibility: Ideal for testing various components of gas engine systems, including injectors, valves, and more.
  • Precision Testing: Ensures accurate results with custom settings for different gas engine models.
  • Safety Features: Designed with comprehensive safety mechanisms to ensure secure operation during testing.

Comprehensive Gas Injector and Valve Testing with the VPU 500 GI

The VPU 500 GI can perform a range of gas sealing tests and injector tests to evaluate the performance and integrity of your gas engine components, ensuring peak performance and safety.

Available Tests: Ensuring Optimal Gas Engine Performance

  • Gas Sealing and Injector Test for Injector Valve: Ensures proper injector operation and sealing.
  • Gas Sealing Test for Window Valve: Tests the sealing of the window valve to prevent leaks.
  • Gas Sealing Test for Blow-off/Purge Valve: Verifies proper functioning of the blow-off and purge valves.
  • Gas Sealing Test for Resume Valve: Checks the resume valve for any potential leaks.
  • Gas Sealing Test for Bleed Valve: Ensures the bleed valve is properly sealed.
  • Gas Sealing Test for Block Valve: Confirms the block valve’s integrity.

Dual fuel systems are particularly important in energy generation, for instance in maritime vessels, power plants and mines. The systems offer greater operational flexibility, cost savings and environmental advantages. In addition, they offer improved energy security, making them valuable across a range of sectors.
