With worldwide demand for fuel showing no signs of abating and environmental regulations increasingly prevalent, specialist companies are collaborating to develop solutions for alternative fuels, including LNG. One such example involves Chart Industries subsidiary, Flow Instruments and Beta Control.
The resultant product, LNG DYNAFLOW 3000® Dispenser, fuels heavy duty trucks and buses with LNG, reliably, accurately, safely and quickly.
An integrated processor for dynamic LNG density measurement and LNG mass measurements based on the venturi principle, take care of reliability and accuracy. The orifice is immersed in cryogenic LNG and this advanced design means there’s no cool-down time needed in the metering section, which also has an absence of moving parts. Thanks to a smart piping configuration there’s no possibility of flow diversion either.
The dispenser meets all EU and MID regulations and is ATEX safety approved. A Dead-Man Button (DMB) means that filling can only commence when the DMB is depressed. Beta Control’s electronic calculator, ADP1/T-LNG, instructs customers during the dispensing procedure and incorporates additional features, including an alert to signal low LNG level in the station tank and an automatic cut-off when LNG is not available.
