FUEL GAS SYSTEM
General
 The gas regulating unit
(GRU) controls the fuel gas
flow to the engine.
 Single and double line unit
are available for different
type of gas engines.
 The GRU can be equipped
with an optional flow meter.
 The standard gas regulating
unit is for pressures up to 6
bar(g).

FUEL GAS SYSTEM
Gas pressure
 Is regulated by the gas regulating
unit.
 Receives a control signal from
the engine control system.
 The main gas pressure control is
an open loop-type function.
 The inlet pressure to the GRU
should be at least 0,5 bar higher
than the regulated (outlet) pressure
in order for the GRU to accurately
regulate the gas pressure.
