The filling stations can be:
A. FAST FILL
Used when you have a few busses to be filled at the same time and you are not sure when the busses are arriving for the refilling.
- Compressor high flow rate
- storage big volume
- fast fill automated dispenser
B. SLOW FILL
Used when you have a lot of busses to be filled at the same time and you are perfectly sure when the busses are arriving for the refilling.
- Compressor medium-low flow rate
- storage small volume (only pulsation dampening)
- filling post managed by compressor PLC
Gas network availability:
A. MOTHER filling stations - They are connected to the natural gas network and allow the supply of vehicles and the fleet of mobile cylinders, trailers with CNG cylinders
B. DAUGHTER Fuel Stations - Used when the natural gas network is not available. The compressed natural gas is transported through the fleet of mobile cylinders and feeds the vehicles through a compressor and a distributor.
