LPG/CNG electronics for diesel in the context of LPG/CNG systems are a set of controls and actuators that enable the injection of LPG or CNG gas into a diesel engine. These engines operate on the compression-ignition principle, where the fuel-air mixture is ignited by pressure and temperature. The injection of LPG/CNG takes place while the diesel engine is running, supporting the combustion of diesel and providing a number of benefits.
Principle of operation of an LPG system for diesel engines
Gas dosing: An electronic controller calculates the optimum gas dosage based on engine performance.
Gas injection: Gas injectors feed the correct amount of gas into the intake manifold or directly into the cylinders.
Combustion: The gas mixes with the air and is burned together with the diesel fuel.
Benefits of gas injection in diesel
Lower fuel consumption: Gas injection reduces diesel consumption, which translates into savings.
Reduced exhaust emissions: Cleaner combustion of LPG/CNG means fewer harmful emissions.
Improved performance: Gas injection can slightly improve engine performance, such as torque.
Ecology: Gas consumption is more environmentally friendly.

Important notes
The installation of an LPG/CNG system in a diesel should be carried out by a qualified installer.
Not every diesel engine is suitable for conversion to LPG/CNG.
Regular servicing of the installation and proper maintenance should be carried out.
