CNG REGULATOR

Today, there are an estimated 8 million vehicles in the world running on compressed natural gas (CNG). That represents a 400 percent increase since 2000 and speaks to vehicle owners’ desire for a fuel that gets them from here to there while being cleaner, safer and cheaper than gasoline or petrol.

Vehicles that consume compressed natural gas emit fewer types of pollutants and cut greenhouse gas emissions by about 20 percent compared to gasoline. CNG can also cut pump prices by 30 percent, and if there is a spill, it evaporates quickly because it is lighter than air.

There are still some hurdles — such as lack of filling stations, extra storage space to accommodate gas rather than liquid — but the environmental and economic benefits are quickly winning over converts, especially owners of large fleets of vehicles. Cities, governments and businesses looking to stay in regulation and stay “in the black” are fitting their fleets of trucks, buses and autos with CNG systems.

One of the key components of this system is the CNG regulator To use CNG as a fuel for vehicle engines, engine management systems incorporate a regulator to reduce the supply of the compressed natural gas stored in the tanks to a constant and stable output pressure.
