The present invention relates to a gas heat pump system. A gas heat pump system according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises: a compressor for compressing a refrigerant; a gas engine for driving the compressor; a mixer for mixing air and fuel to generate a mixed gas to be supplied to the gas engine; a mixed gas supply line connected between the mixer and the gas engine; and a supercharger for supercharging the mixed gas supplied to the gas engine through the mixed gas supply line, wherein the supercharger comprises a sealed housing formed by sealing the remaining parts thereof other than an inlet port and an outlet port through which the mixed gas moves into and out of the housing, and a bypass line is provided between the sealed housing and the inlet port of the supercharger so as to resupply a mixed gas in the sealed housing to the inlet port of the supercharger. Therefore, the system can prevent a safety-related accident resulting from the leakage of the mixed gas out of the supplier and can reduce the amount of fuel consumption.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a gas engine and a ship provided with the same, the gas engine making it is possible to ensure a distance that enables fuel and an oxidizing agent to mix, and to evenly mix the oxidizing agent and the fuel even if the flow rate of gas traveling towards intake pipes varies. A gas engine (1) comprises: an intake passage (10) through which a gas flows; a plurality of intake pipes (12A, 12B) where the intake passage (10) branches apart at a branching section (14) that is downstream in the gas flow direction, the intake pipes opening to a cylinder (16) at the downstream end; and a fuel injection means (31) that injects fuel into the intake passage (10). The fuel injection means (31) is provided upstream of the branching section (14) in the gas flow direction, and injects varying quantities of fuel into the plurality of intake pipes (12A, 12B).

The present disclosure provides a method for predicting a fluid type, comprising sensing, by a first sensor, mass flow data of a fluid in an engine, wherein the first sensor operates based on a first fluid property; sensing, by a second sensor, mass flow data of the fluid, wherein the second sensor operates based on a second fluid property; and detecting, by a logic circuit of a controller, a percent difference in the mass flow data provided by the first and second sensors, the percent difference indicating that the fluid is comprised of at least a first fluid type.

A metering system for a fluid atomizer includes a housing, first and second metering members, and at least one solenoid. The housing includes a mixing chamber. The first metering member is operable to control flow of a first fluid to the mixing chamber. The second metering member is arranged coaxial with the first metering member and operable to control flow of a second fluid to the mixing chamber. The at least one solenoid is configured to operate at least one of the first and second metering members.

A multi-fuel engine includes an engine operable on a liquid fuel and first and second gaseous fuels. The multi-fuel engine also includes a liquid cutoff solenoid selectively operable between open and closed positions to allow and inhibit a flow of the liquid fuel to the engine and at least one gaseous cutoff valve selectively operable between open and closed positions to allow and inhibit a flow of the first and second gaseous fuels to the engine. A jet block couples the first gaseous fuel source and the second gaseous fuel source to a carburetor connected to an intake of the engine, with the jet block being located downstream from the at least one gaseous cutoff valve. The jet block includes a first gaseous fuel jet to meter the first gaseous fuel to the carburetor and a second gaseous fuel jet to meter the second gaseous fuel to the carburetor.
