The Leading Natural Gas Engine For Truck And Bus. Lower Emissions, Improved Performance, Lower Costs. The ISL G is the natural choice in alternative -fuel engine technology. With industry -leading performance and first -fit OEM availability, it combines all the advantages of clean - burning, low-cost natural gas with the power and torque needed for shuttle and school bus, urban transit, vocational and medium -duty truck and tractor applications. Since the ISL G was introduced in 2007, thousands of truck and bus customers have benefited from the impressive low -end torque, transient response and quiet operation of the ISL G. Today, the ISL G meets current U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and California Air Resources Board (ARB) emissions standards, as well as EPA greenhouse gas (GHG) and U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) fuel -consumption regulations. Dedicated Factory -Built Natural Gas Engine. The ISL G is a dedicated, factory -built natural gas engine, manufactured by Cummins on the same assembly tine as the ISL9 diesel. It shares many components and parts with the Cummins L Series diesels, including the same full -skirted block, for increased rigidity and strength. The design provides superior piston ring and bearing life, improved coolant flow and targeted -piston cooling. For improved reliability and durability, the ISL G features a new heavy duty Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) cooler, redesigned exhaust manifold and gaskets, improved turbo housing and water pump and a newly updated Ignition Control Module (ICM) and sensors. Life -to -rebuild and rebuildability are similar to those of diesel engines. Advanced Combustion Technology. The 8.9-liter ISL G uses Stoichiometric cooled Exhaust Gas Recirculation (SEGR) combustion, leveraging Cummins proven EGR technology to create a high- performance natural gas engine. Stoichiometric combustion is the theoretical or ideal combustion process in which fuel and oxygen are completely consumed, with no unburned fuel or oxygen in the exhaust. The cooled-EGR system takes a measured quantity of exhaust gas and passes it through a cooler to reduce temperatures before mixing it with fuel and the incoming air charge to the cylinder. Cooled EGR, in combination with stoichiometric combustion, provides significant benefits. The use of cooled EGR (in place of large amounts of excess air used in lean -burn technology) lowers combustion temperatures and knock tendency, SEGR combustion also improves power density and fuel economy versus lean -burn and traditional stoichiometric engines. Maintenance -Free Aftertreatment. Another benefit of the ISL G combustion technology is enabling the use of Three -Way Catalyst (TWO) aftertreatment. TWCs are effective, simple, passive devices, packaged as part of the muffler. They provide consistent emissions control performance, are maintenance -free and can be mounted vertically or horizontally on the vehicle. The ISL G does not require active aftertreatment such as a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) or Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR). Three -Way Catalyst Aftertreatment Natural Gas - The Fuel Choice Is Yours. The ISL G operates on 100 percent natural gas, which can be carried on the vehicle in either compressed (CNG) or liquefied (LNG) form. The ISL G can also run on renewable natural gas (RNG) made from biogas or landfill gas that has been upgraded to vehicle -fuel quality. To meet engine fuel requirements under a variety of load conditions, the engine requires the fuel storage system to provide at engine fuel pressure at rated conditions between 70 psi and 150 psi.
