西港創(chuàng)新公司，設(shè)計(jì)師和制造商的發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)技術(shù)上運(yùn)作自然gasfuel的，已經(jīng)推出液化天然氣（LNG）投標(biāo)產(chǎn)品的解決方案，為了從加拿大國(guó)家鐵路四標(biāo)段。首次招標(biāo)燃料供應(yīng)到相鄰的天然氣動(dòng)力機(jī)車(chē)將在2013年第四季度交付。
執(zhí)行副總裁尼古拉斯·桑塔格說(shuō)，“有越來(lái)越多的共識(shí)使用LNG作為燃料機(jī)車(chē)的巨大潛力，為行業(yè)實(shí)現(xiàn)這一目標(biāo)轉(zhuǎn)移到一個(gè)更清潔，更便宜，國(guó)內(nèi)現(xiàn)有的燃料，有一個(gè)清晰的路徑，”西港。“西港LNG招標(biāo)充分利用我們的主要專長(zhǎng)在LNG儲(chǔ)罐，低溫系統(tǒng)，燃料和天然氣交付移動(dòng)應(yīng)用程序創(chuàng)建一個(gè)產(chǎn)品，將立即幫助鐵路，以驗(yàn)證其業(yè)務(wù)價(jià)值的液化天然氣（LNG）今天，內(nèi)置的升級(jí)通路的下一代機(jī)車(chē)未來(lái)幾年過(guò)來(lái)。“
LNG在西港LNG招標(biāo)，而不是簡(jiǎn)單地替換現(xiàn)有機(jī)車(chē)柴油機(jī)油箱，提供了許多優(yōu)點(diǎn)：
- 超過(guò)10,000加侖液化天然氣產(chǎn)能提供更長(zhǎng)的范圍比內(nèi)燃機(jī)車(chē)，減少液化天然氣基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施和加油加油站的必要性
- 智能加油控制將允許投標(biāo)供應(yīng)燃料，天然氣機(jī)車(chē)從幾乎任何制造商，在不同的專有的燃料供應(yīng)解決方案降低運(yùn)營(yíng)的復(fù)雜性和投資
- 每項(xiàng)投標(biāo)可以支持兩個(gè)機(jī)車(chē)，減少所需的資本投資移動(dòng)到LNG
- 利用行業(yè)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的車(chē)輛設(shè)計(jì)和40'，最大限度地減少成本，并允許生產(chǎn)量迅速增加，作為行業(yè)遷移到LNG的LNG ISO罐
CN提供液化天然氣的運(yùn)輸解決方案，使得它自然為我們的合作伙伴正在測(cè)試天然氣機(jī)車(chē)和西港的經(jīng)驗(yàn)，說(shuō)：“CN副總裁格里·韋伯，供應(yīng)，艦隊(duì)和燃料管理。“這些招標(biāo)將立即使用雙燃料機(jī)車(chē)主線服務(wù)，允許CN繼續(xù)探索這項(xiàng)技術(shù)為手段，以促進(jìn)公司的可持續(xù)發(fā)展議程，并改善環(huán)境排放。”
西港合作與INOXCVA，低溫運(yùn)輸設(shè)備的制造商，這些招標(biāo)。已簽訂一項(xiàng)協(xié)議，低溫系統(tǒng)，能夠快速滿足鐵路行業(yè)短期內(nèi)需求Westport和INOXCVA的。
韋斯特波特還與卡特彼勒公司合作，自2012年6月共同開(kāi)發(fā)天然氣技術(shù)的卡特彼勒產(chǎn)品，包括新一代的機(jī)車(chē)。
第一高壓直噴（HPDI）機(jī)車(chē)將被證明在2014年通過(guò)一個(gè)財(cái)團(tuán)由加拿大可持續(xù)技術(shù)發(fā)展計(jì)劃資助，加拿大國(guó)家鐵路，電動(dòng)力柴油（EMD，卡特彼勒公司的子公司Progress Rail服務(wù)，合作） ，嘎斯地鐵。卡特彼勒和Westport相結(jié)合的技術(shù)和專業(yè)知識(shí)，包括西港HPDI技術(shù)和卡特彼勒公司的行業(yè)領(lǐng)先的越野發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)和機(jī)器的產(chǎn)品技術(shù)，來(lái)開(kāi)發(fā)這些新的天然氣產(chǎn)品。商業(yè)化生產(chǎn)，預(yù)計(jì)在2017年的HPDI機(jī)車(chē)由EMD。
Westport Innovations Inc., a designer and manufacturer of engine technology that operates on natural gasfuel, has launched a liquefied natural gas (LNG) tender product solution with an order for four tenders from Canadian National Railway. The first tender to supply fuel to an adjacent natural-gas powered locomotive will be delivered in the fourth quarter of 2013.
“There is growing consensus around the enormous potential of using LNG as a fuel for locomotives and there is a clear path for the industry to achieve this shift to a cleaner, cheaper and domestically available fuel,” said Nicholas Sonntag, Executive Vice-President at Westport. “The Westport LNG Tender leverages our substantial expertise in LNG storage, cryogenic systems, and natural gas fuel delivery for mobile applications to create a product that will immediately help railroads to validate the value of LNG in their operations today, with a built-in upgrade pathway to the next-generation locomotives coming over the next few years.”
Putting the LNG on a Westport LNG Tender, rather than simply replacing the diesel fuel tanks on existing locomotives, offers a number of advantages:
- More than 10,000 gallons LNG capacity—provides longer range than a diesel locomotive, reducing the need for LNG refuelling infrastructure and refuelling stops
- Intelligent fueling controls will allow tenders to supply fuel to natural gas locomotives from virtually any manufacturer, reducing operational complexity and investment in different proprietary fuel supply solutions
- Each tender can support two locomotives, reducing the capital investment required to move to LNG
- Utilizes an industry standard vehicle design and 40′ LNG ISO tank, which minimizes cost and will allow production volumes to be rapidly increased as the industry migrates to LNG
“CN is testing natural gas locomotives and Westport’s experience in providing LNG solutions for transportation makes it the natural partner for us,” said Gerry Weber, CN Vice-President Supply, Fleet and Fuel Management. “These tenders will be used immediately with our dual fuel locomotives in mainline service, allowing CN to continue to explore this technology as a means to advance the company’s sustainability agenda and improve environmental emissions.”
Westport is collaborating with INOXCVA, a manufacturer of cryogenic transportation equipment, on these tenders. Westport and INOXCVA have entered into an agreement for cryogenic systems to be able to rapidly meet the near-term demand in the rail industry.
Westport has also been collaborating with Caterpillar Inc. since June 2012 to co-develop natural gas technology for Caterpillar products, including the next generation of locomotives.
The first high pressure direct injection (HPDI) locomotive will be demonstrated in 2014 through a consortium program funded by Sustainable Technology Development Canada in partnership with Canadian National Railway, Electro-Motive Diesel (EMD, a subsidiary of Progress Rail Services, a Caterpillar company), and Gaz Metro. Caterpillar and Westport are combining technologies and expertise, including Westport™ HPDI technology and Caterpillar’s industry leading off-road engine and machine product technology, to develop these new natural gas products. Commercial production of HPDI locomotives by EMD is expected in 2017.
