CNG Dispensers (Compressed Natural Gas Dispensers)
FTI retail dispensers are supplied with the Dispenser Control Unit, a self-contained temperature/pressure compensated computer based fuel control system. This system offers significantly improved flow rates, the better filing of vehicles. FTI has found in field testing that FTI dispensers equipped with this DCU module filled vehicles up to 40% faster and put 30% more CNG into the vehicles, all within ISO standards for fueling CNG vehicles.
The DCU also acts as a self-contained controller for inlet sequencing valves. This allows the dispenser to optimize storage utilization. The system can be programmed to suit individual site conditions.
CNG dispensers by FTI currently fuel over 140,000 vehicles per day in Asia, Europe, North America, South America, Africa, and the Middle East. Using this proven technology, FTI has evolved its dispenser design from the Classic natural gas dispenser to today’s Affinity design. The Affinity CNG dispenser combines a futuristic exterior with the latest in fueling technology, to meet and exceed the fueling requirements of modern commercial CNG fueling stations. Our compressed natural gas dispensers are designed and built to:
- Operate continuously at peak capacity
- Maintain the highest levels of safety and regulatory compliance
- Provide maximum performance at a cost-effective price
