SPECIAL CHARACTERISTICS:
Natural gas (CH4) is the ecological fuel and one of the most abundant
found in nature. In fact, because it has no impurities, sulphur,
lead compounds or aromatic hydrocarbons, it generates a very limited
amount of polluting exhaust emissions that are odourless and contain
no particulates or combustion residues.
Thanks to its chemical composition, natural gas produces much less
CO2 than other fuels. It also reduces the formation of ozone in
the atmosphere and extends engine life.
REFUELLING
Natural gas can be pumped by attaching the special connector to
the car’s refuelling valve. The types of connectors on the market
differ in various countries. In most cases the filler valve is located
in the engine compartment, but may also be mounted on the exterior
of the vehicle. Normally, natural gas is used at an operating pressure
of 220 bar. We suggest to extinguish any flames and cigarettes while
refuelling.
THE SYSTEM
The gas flows from the tank and, running along the high-pressure
piping, reaches the reducer, where its pressure is decreased as
it passes through the reduction stages. The water from the engine
cooling system provides the heat needed to prevent the reducer from
freezing.
The gas leaves the reducer at atmospheric pressure and flows to
a special device that injects the gas into the engine according
to demand.
