How to Use the Three Valves on an LNG Vehicle?
1 Answers
Usage instructions are as follows: 1. Liquid Outlet Valve (Gray): When the buffer tank pressure reaches zero, first open it a quarter turn. You will hear a hissing sound of gas escaping. When this sound stops, fully open the valve and then turn it back one full turn. If repairing the fuel supply valve, in principle, the liquefied natural gas and pressure in the cylinder should be completely emptied (this can be done when the cylinder pressure is zero and the liquid level is below 12). 2. Pressurization Valve (Blue): Open when the cylinder pressure is below 0.8Mpa, and simultaneously open the pressurization valve. Generally, low cylinder pressure is due to cold liquid filling. Fully open the valve and turn it back one full turn. It can be closed or opened as needed since it stops pressurizing once it reaches 0.8Mpa. If it continues to pressurize, calibration is required. When the pressurization valve needs maintenance, it must be emptied of liquid. For repairing the pressurization regulator valve, close the pressurization valve, open the vent valve, depressurize to zero, and then remove the regulator valve. 3. Vent Valve (Green): Open to release pressure when replacing cylinder components or when the cylinder pressure is too high and needs to be emptied.
