5. Natural Gas Basics
COMPRESSED NATURAL GAS LIQUEFIED NATURAL GAS
• Natural Gas that is compressed – • Natural Gas that is cryogenically
typically to 3,600 psi – for dispensing cooled – to 260oF – for dispensing and
and storage storage
• Gas is distributed through natural gas • Gas is processed at LNG production
pipeline (the same infrastructure that and transported by special truck to
delivers to homes and businesses the fuel location
currently) to the fuel location • LNG is stored at fuel location in
• Gas is compressed at fuel location cryogenic tanks and dispensed
into CNG for dispensing into the truck directly into the truck
• Dispensing is similar to gasoline or • Dispensing requires special safety
diesel fuel equipment
• The CNG is stored on the vehicle in • The LNG is stored on the vehicle in
one or more cylinders cryogenic tanks

6. Natural Gas Basics
COMPRESSED NATURAL GAS LIQUEFIED NATURAL GAS
• ADVANTAGES: ADVANTAGES:
• Lowest price (compared to diesel & • Lower price than diesel
LNG) • Fastest Fill
• Lowest emissions • LNG is lower weight than CNG; allows
• Extensive infrastructure already greater storage and distance
exists
• “Truck-Friendly” technology CHALLENGES:
• Infrastructure
CHALLENGES: • Venting; Performance Issues
• Volume per energy content (requires • Higher production and distribution
more storage) costs
•Additional weight and OAL • Truck cost for larger engine (15L)
•Range limits • Shop Requirements
•Performance of existing stations

14. Methane Detection
• Sensors
mounted in cab, engine
compartment
• Visuallyand audibly warns driver of
fuel leaks
• Trace amount (no concern)
• Significant amount (potential
explosion concern)
• NGwill ignite when there is a 5%-15%
mixture in the air In overhead console
• MethaneDetection installed on LNG
and CNG vehicles
• Future
– potential option to omit with
CNG configurations when specing

16. 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

26. 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
