Cummins Inc. is expanding its offering to the oil and gas market with the addition of dual-fuel capabilities to their QSK50 Tier 4 product.
“Our QSK50 Tier 4 dual-fuel engine offers our well servicing customers the ability to save on their fuel costs and improve emissions while maintaining performance,” said Jenny Bush, Vice President, Cummins Sales & Service North America.
“Expanding on the QSK50 product line, a staple in the oil and gas industry supports our commitment to deliver the products our customers need to be successful.”
Seamless Transition and reducing emissions
Cummins’ dual-fuel solution will feature integrated controls, permitting a seamless transition from diesel fuel to dual-fuel operation. When the engine is operating in dual-fuel mode, natural gas is introduced into the intake system, reducing diesel consumption while maintaining power density, torque, and transient response as the base diesel engine.
This EPA Tier 4 offering also demonstrates a reduction in diesel exhaust emissions and overall Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions over its EPA Tier 2 predecessor.
Customer beneficial
The Cummins dual-fuel solution is achieved via a kit of dual-fuel components integrated with the QSK50 Tier 4 final engine. The kit will be available for first fit solutions and as a retrofittable solution to existing QSK50 Tier 4 final engines.
Either solution will provide the customer flexibility in the operations, and deliver an improved total cost of ownership that customers have come to expect with a Cummins solution.
