What does LNG vehicle mean?
1 Answers
Vehicles that use LNG as fuel are called LNG vehicles, which generally come in three forms: one is pure LNG vehicles that use LNG exclusively as fuel, another is dual-fuel LNG vehicles that use a combination of LNG and diesel, and the third is bi-fuel vehicles that can switch between LNG and gasoline. Below are the specific details: 1. Gas system: The gas systems of these LNG vehicles are basically the same. They all store LNG in onboard LNG tanks, which is then vaporized into gas at about 0.5MPa through a vaporization device to supply the engine. The main components include the LNG tank, vaporizer, pressure-reducing regulator, mixer, and control system. 2. Benefits: Using LNG vehicles will significantly reduce fuel consumption costs, thereby greatly increasing the profits of vehicle operating companies. Using cleaner LNG as vehicle fuel will significantly reduce vehicle exhaust emissions, resulting in excellent environmental protection benefits for society. According to data provided by the BP China Carbon Emissions Calculator, each LNG vehicle can reduce CO2 emissions by about 60 tons per year compared to gasoline or diesel vehicles. If calculated over an 8-year usage period, each vehicle can reduce CO2 emissions by about 480 tons.
