Natural Gas Engines
Iveco´s implementation

 Iveco´s CNG engines run on stoichiometric mixture, with lambda closed-loop


control that ensures no oxygen is present in the exhaust.
 This makes it possible to use a tree-way catalytic converter as exhaust
treatment device able to reduce by 95% the amount of all three pollutants
(NOx - CO - HC)
 The catalyst is called “three-way” because the nobles metals (Platinum - Pt,
Palladium - Pd ) operated on three pollutants (NOx - CO - HC);
 The platinum helps the reaction of the CO and HC to transform them into
CO2 and H2O;
 The palladium helps the reaction to transform NOx into N2

Why LNG?

GNC tienen una autonomía limitada de 300-400 Km.


• CNG Vehicles have a range limited to 300-400 Km.

• LNG expands the range at 700-800 km. (with 1 tank and 4 cng cylinders)
opening the use of natural gas vehicles to long distances. Next future
1.200-1.300 km with 2 LNG tanks.

• More over, LNG extracted directly from a LNG terminal is cheaper than
CNG.

• The availability of LNG does not depend on a gas pileline.

LNG Technology
LNG cryogenics - Tank principle
Filling nozzle (tank built-in)
NG is stored in the tank in a liquid-gas equilibrium Relief valves

state at a determined pressure-temperature


determined in the tank filling-up moment. Economizer

Pressure itself pumps the liquid, when demanded by


engine (underpressure provoqued), to the vaporizer,
where is heated with engine coolant to get it in gas
phase, ready to adjust the delivery pressure to the
engine and be burnt as in CNG engine. In fact, the shut-off valve
engine burns NG, regardless the source, CNG or LNG. vaporizer gas
liquid

Due to liquid low temperature, thermal isolating is


needed to prevent boil-off effect (liquid boiling). As this
cannot be completely avoided, the economizer allows
to inject gas phase into vaporizer to feed the engine
when pressure rises. If the engine is not running and
tank maximum pressure is reached, the relief valves
get opened to the atmosphere to maintain the pressure
under the limits.

So the economizer will keep the pressure-temperature


at design working value. Chart tank multilayer

LNG Technology
LNG cryogenics - Thermodynamical graphs

Defining the working pressure:

Limiting values for tank working pressure are mainly engine nominal feeding pressure (now 7 bar, about 5
bar in future) and maximum tank allowable pressure (16 bar for Chart, 25 bar for former Indox).

Between these two limits a balanced decision must be taken. If high pressure is chosen, liquid phase
density will be lower, and the vehicle range will be smaller. Besides of this, maximum allowable tank
pressure will be reached sooner (due to boil-off effect), so time-to-venting will be also reduced (gas
wasting).

Taking this into account, the right decision is to define the working pressure near to feeding engine
pressure, but a certain overpressure must be present in order to maintain the gas-pump effect, and
minimize long gas demanding periods (engine at full load), which may decrease the equilibrium
temperature in the tank.

This fact can be explained because of decreasing the liquid-phase volume inner the tank, so gas-phase
volume increases and pressure decreases. The tank insulation does not allow heat to enter quickly, and
then the thermodynamical system reacts to maintain temperature and pression, so liquid is vaporized until
pressure is recovered. But vaporization needs energy, which is taken from the liquid temperature. If long
gas demanding time occurs, this vaporization may lead to temperature decrease, and so pressure also
decreases.

So 1 or 2 bar overpressure above feeding engine pressure is recommended.

Refueling

LNG refueling
▶ Liquefied natural gas (LNG) may cause burns if it comes into
contact with skin due to its extremely low temperatures. Cold
burns may also occur in the event of contact with insulated
parts. During operations on the LNG system always wear
cryogenic gloves and protect all exposed skin. Long sleeves
and trousers are strongly recommended.

▶ Direct contact of Liquefied natural gas (LNG) with eyes may


cause blindness. During operations on the LNG system, protect
the eyes with goggles and face-shield on top.

▶ Safety shoes with non-metallic protection and anti-drilling sole.

Madrid, 26-11-2015 TrainMoss II 48


LNG system
Refueling

Before starting the refueling in a new fueling station, always ask the
filling station personnel about the correct procedure to follow and
station / dispenser characteristics.

The LNG Dispenser is fitted with an earth cable / clip. Connect the
filling station's earth cable to the cryogenic tank (metallic part) in order
to avoid any electrostatic discharge and the potential of fire / explosion
if there is an LNG leakage.

The connection of the vent return line of the refilling station with the
vent LNG is not requested.

Cleaning of connectors is very important. Protective plugs on the


receptacle and the vent connector

The LNG Dispenser is equipped with an air gun that has to be used to
clean thoroughly the truck fuel tank receptacle first and refilling station
nozzle just before their connection. This prevents from possible
damages to the fuel tank.

Madrid, 26-11-2015 TrainMoss II 49


LNG system
First Fill / Hot Tank

When an LNG tank is first installed on a vehicle it is considered to be a hot tank.

Installing cold LNG into a hot tank will cause the LNG to take on the heat contained in the
inner tank and components. When this happens the LNG boils rapidly, builds excessive
pressure, and may even lift the pressure relief valve. To properly cool the inner vessel special
steps must be completed. It also serves for recheck the entire system for leaks.

Before starting the refueling, in particular the first fill, always ask the refueling station
personnel about the correct procedure to follow and station / dispenser characteristics.

Note: This procedure is intended for use by trained technicians with experience on systems
using LNG. Review all applicable safety documents before beginning this procedure.

Madrid, 26-11-2015 TrainMoss II 50


LNG system
Venting

The LNG tank is designed to keep pressure below


nominal primary relief valve setting (16 bar) for
minimum 5 days (minimum holding time according to
UNECE Regulation No. 110) when full and inactivity of
the vehicle.
Running the truck brings pressure down to the normal
working pressure (8,5 bar) and resets the clock for the
holding time
When the pressure of the natural gas in the tank
exceed nominal primary relief valve setting (16 bar), the
system vents outs the necessary amount of gas from
the vertical pipe behind the cab in order to reduce the
pressure below the setting.

Note: In some countries gas vent is not allowed. Then it


requires a burner
Rise of pressure
Refueling is recommended immediately after normal
use of the vehicle. The time required by the tank before
pressure reach nominal primary relief valve setting and
start venting is called PRT (pressure reaction times)
depends on the initial internal pressure and the % of
fuel in the tank.

Madrid, 26-11-2015 TrainMoss II 51


LNG system
Venting. Warm tank

Long periods of inactivity (more than 7 days)

If the vehicle is not expected to be used for more than 7 days, regardless of fuel in the tank, it is
recommended that the cryogenic tank is left empty to prevent any undesired venting of fuel into
the atmosphere. This measure avoids to waste fuel and reduce environmental pollution being
methane a GHG (Green House Gas).

Fueling a warm tank

An LNG tank that has been out of service for an extended period of time but still contains
liquid will probably be at or near it’s relief pressure (16 bar). This type of condition is referred to
as a warm tank.

A warm tank will still contain liquid but the liquid is at a relatively higher temperature than
found in normal operating conditions. The pressure in this tank must be reduced below the fuel
stations operating pressure before it can be filled. Reducing the pressure in the tank will cause
the remaining liquid to boil inside the tank. This will cool the liquid and the inner tank.
Two methods that will reduce tank pressure are:
• If enough fuel remains in the tank, drive the vehicle.
• Use the vent connector to return gas to the fuel station.

Madrid, 26-11-2015 TrainMoss II 52


LNG system
Venting. Wheathering

Fuel degradation, (Ageing or Wheathering)

LNG is a fuel that requires the monitoring and control of temperature and pressure due to the
continuous heating of the fuel that occurs for the high difference between ambient temperature
and that of the LNG (-120°). Even with optimally insulated tanks, continuous increases in internal
pressure will occur. The vapor vented in the atmosphere resulting in a fuel consumption
worsening.

The constant vaporization of the fuel affects negatively its properties also. The methane in the
fuel will reach ebullition before of the other hydrocarbons in the mixture, such as propane and
butane for example. Therefore, if liquefied natural gas is stored for long periods without being
drawn off and refilled, the methane rate will continue to decrease and the physical characteristics
may not meet the engine design requirements. In order to avoid this phenomenon, known as fuel
degradation, refueling is recommended immediately before normal use of the vehicle especially
after periods of inactivity.

Natural gas industrial vehicles in the future
CNG vehicles will remain the best solution to reduce at the lowest levels the pollulants
emitted by ICE.
 Diesel vehicles Euro-6 will be technologically more complex than CNG
 Extraordinary evolution of batteries and fuel-cell be required to support the
viability of electric or hidrogen powered heavy vehicles.
 NG engines are very well positioned to new air quality parameters like NO2
,PM2,5 or PAH (Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons)

Greenhouse reduction targets will increasingly affect the transport.


 NG offers 5-8% less CO2 emitted than diesel in road operation.
 H2-NG blends and biomethane possibilities

LNG is the solution for long distance transport .


 Its development will depend on the development of the service network, but
more importantly grid density. The beginnings will be regular services based on
a minimum core network
 In this segment , the economy is over the ecology. The total operation cost is
the main target. The price difference between diesel and natural gas will be the
turning point.
 Marketing, safety, security, client preferences, public aceptance of CNG/LNG
as a vehicle fuel
