RPS2000 Fuel Management System

The Raw Power Systems RPS2000 Series Fuel Management System enables stationary diesel generators to run reliably and efficiently on 100% plant derived oil (without the need for conversion to biodiesel). Locally harvested plant oils often cost less than half the cost of conventional diesel fuel, making plant oil adapters a cost effective and environmentally sustainable solution to off-grid energy needs.

Waste heat from the engine is used to reduce the viscosity of the bio-oil to a level that allows the injection spray to replicate that of diesel. Integrated heaters and valve arrangements manage the switching between the primary fuel and bio-oil, when pre-determined parameters are met (which can be adjusted to suit particular engine requirements).

A separate fuel pump is provided to pump the bio-oil from the independent bulk storage through the system. The pump is driven by means of a separate electric motor. The pump may also be driven by an engine mounted PTO where a suitable PTO is available.

The pumps are sized to match the fuel consumption and to enable an additional volume to be pumped through the system, to allow multiple passes in order to gain as much heat transfer and oil filtration as possible.

Early generation RPS Technology was first deployed in the maritime environment in Papua New Guinea in 2006-2007 on a RORO Ferry where 10,000 shp engines ran on palm olein. Installations on Caterpillar 3512 1000kW generators followed. Recent EU -unded projects in the Pacific Region involved RPS enabled generators which are fueled with 100% coconut oil but can also use palm, coconut, canola, peanut, cottonseed, jatropha and used cooking oil. Current systems are operating in the Pacific Region.
