Cryogenic Superinsulation
Each
tank is wrapped with multiple layers of insulation, which reflects
heat away from the tank. The wrapped inner tank is enclosed by
an outer tank and a vacuum is drawn between the walls. This combination
of multi-layer insulation and vacuum is called superinsulation,
and has nearly double the R rating of vacuum only insulation.

Economizer
Regulator
When pressure in the
tank rises above a preset number (typically 90 to 120 psi), the
economizer regulator vents vapor into the fuel line. This increases
vehicle tank hold time to 7 to 10 days and also maximizes LNG
per gallon mileage performance.

LNG
Fill Fitting
Fuel fitting only opens
after fuel nozzle is positively locked in place. Fitting closes
when nozzle is released to prevent any fuel loss.
|
|
Fuel
Contents Gauge
Alerts driver or fueler
to the fuel levels in the vehicle tank. Fuel gauge can be placed
by the vehicle tank or in the truck cab.
|
|
Dual
Relief Valves
Each tank has a relief
valve set at 230 psi and a back up relief valve set at 350 psi should
the first valve fail.
|
|
Fill
Check Valve
The check valve at
the fuel fitting prevents LNG from escaping should the fill fitting
fail or if the vehicle is driven off without the nozzle being
disconnected.
|
|
Product
Isolation Valve
Valve shuts off the
flow of LNG to the engine when a vehicle is being serviced.
|
|
Excess
Flow Valve
Shuts down LNG flow
to the engine in case of a fuel line break between the LNG tank
and the engine.
|
|
In-line
Check Valve
Prevents the reverse
flow of high pressure fuel (after vaporization) back into the
LNG tank.
|
|
Tank
Pressure Gauge
Alerts fueler to the
actual pressure in the tank. If pressure is too high it can be
vented back to the bulk storage tank through the LNG dispensers.
|
|
Overpressure
Regulator (Optional)
Controls the pressure
of the fuel to the engine. Typically set at 90 to 140psi depending
on the engine.
