Natural Gas Basics

COMPRESSED NATURAL GAS

•Natural Gas that is compressed –

typically to 3,600 psi – for dispensing

and storage

•Gas is distributed through natural gas

pipeline (the same infrastructure that

delivers to homes and businesses

currently) to the fuel location

•Gas is compressed at fuel location

into CNG for dispensing into the truck

•Dispensing is similar to gasoline or

diesel fuel

•The CNG is stored on the vehicle in

one or more cylinders

LIQUEFIED NATURAL GAS

•Natural Gas that is cryogenically

cooled – to 260oF – for dispensing and

storage

•Gas is processed at LNG production

and transported by special truck to

the fuel location

•LNG is stored at fuel location in

cryogenic tanks and dispensed

directly into the truck

•Dispensing requires special safety

equipment

•The LNG is stored on the vehicle in

cryogenic tanks


Natural Gas Basics

COMPRESSED NATURAL GAS

•ADVANTAGES:

• Lowest price (compared to diesel &

LNG)

• Lowest emissions

•Extensive infrastructure already

exists

• “Truck-Friendly” technology

CHALLENGES:

•Volume per energy content (requires

more storage)

•Additional weight and OAL

•Range limits

•Performance of existing stations

LIQUEFIED NATURAL GAS

ADVANTAGES:

• Lower price than diesel

• Fastest Fill

• LNG is lower weight than CNG; allows

greater storage and distance

CHALLENGES:

• Infrastructure

•Venting; Performance Issues

•Higher production and distribution

costs

• Truck cost for larger engine (15L)

•Shop Requirements


Freightliner Experience: Factory Installation

trucks & tractors

manufactured on the

production line at Mt Holly

& Cleveland NC plants

• ISL G and fuel tanks installed on the production line

Driver reactions

•Safety questions

•Fueling

•Availability of fuel

•Time to fuel/tank size

•Power

•Proud Americans


Methane Detection

• Sensors mounted in cab, engine

compartment

• Visually and audibly warns driver of

fuel leaks

• Trace amount (no concern)

• Significant amount (potential explosion concern)

• NG will ignite when there is a 5%-15%

mixture in the air

• Methane Detection installed on LNG

and CNG vehicles

• Future – potential option to omit with

CNG configurations when specing

SmartPlex Electrical System

In overhead console


How Safe is Natural Gas? • Heavily regulated industry

• 20 year tank life

• TYPE III and IV Tanks, lightest weight

• Methane is lighter than air; will not pool under

vehicle

• Drop/crash Testing

• Bonfire testing

• Dynamite testing

• Pistol/rifle testing – armor piercing bullets

• Google “CNG Tank Testing” – Numerous Web

Sites and You Tube Videos

• SUMMARY: NATURAL GAS IS AS SAFE, OR

SAFER, THAN DIESEL AND GASOLINE

Natural Gas Engine Technology

Stoichiometric EGR engine (Example ISL G/ISX12 L)

• Uses high EGR rates in combustion process in place of excess air (Lean Burn).

• End result is an oxygen free exhaust allowing use of a simple 3 way catalyst

• Fuel Neutral- LNG and CNG

Dual Fuel engine (Example Westport GX 15L)

• Uses diesel fuel as a pilot injection for Liquefied Natural Gas

• Due to the use of diesel fuel, exhaust requires emissions control devices (DPF, DOC, SCR)

• ONLY operates on LNG
