Parker introduces 2 new CNG fleet fueling solutions
June 30, 2015
Parker Hannifin Corporation recently released two new compressed natural gas (CNG) fuel-dispensing solutions — the Parker XF70 Fast Fill Commercial and Fleet Dispenser and the TF25 Time Fill System. Featuring integrated fueling systems and intrinsically safe components, the XF70 and TF25 are CNG fueling dispensers engineered from the ground up for heavy-duty fleets.
The Parker XF70 is designed for high-flow (155 lb/min / 70 kg/min), high-cycle CNG applications and has a 4:1 safety factor on all pressure-rated metal parts. The fleet industry’s first internet-enabled CNG dispenser, the XF70 offers plug-and-play remote diagnostics and maintenance, bringing the Internet of Things (IoT) to fleet fuel dispensing. The XF70 also features best-in-class certified components from Parker, ANSI NGV 4.1/CSA 12.5 compliant design, and ANSI/NGV 4.2/CSA 2.52 certified hoses. All the components work together to ensure faster fueling, exceptional durability, uncompromised safety, minimal downtime, and consistent, reliable service. The dispenser has National Conference on Weights and Measures (NCWM) certification and certification pending with CSA.
The XF70 and TF25 dispensers were showcased during a press conference in the Parker booth at the 2015 Alternative Clean Transportation (ACT) Expo in Dallas, Texas. Both dispensers were designed by Parker’s Veriflo Division. Veriflo is a manufacturer of precision gas flow management products with over 86 years of industry experience.
According to Madhukar Puniani, Business Development Manager (Natural Gas Systems), Parker Veriflo Division: “The XF70 Commercial and Fleet Dispenser has several features that set it apart from other CNG fleet dispensers. A significant XF70 breakthrough is the use of innovative ball valve technology instead of the industry standard of solenoids for gas flow. The ball valve technology increases flow across the total filling cycle, reduces total fill time, lowers the potential of blockage with particulates in gas, and eliminates freeze-up due to moisture in the gas in winter.”
