    CNG Fueling Station – Hurricane Compressors

    Fueling Stations

    The Strauhs CNG fueling stations are compact units, consisting of a compressor unit installed on a metallic structure (skid), containing all the elements necessary for compression, storage and distribution of the gas.

    • Hurricane compressors
    • Air-gas refrigeration
    • Lubricated cylinders
    • Electrical motor drive (50hp)
    • Explosion-proof and intrinsically safe electrical installation
    • Simple and compact design
    • Low maintenance
    • High performance and reliability
    • Electrical panel controlled by CLP
    • Sound insulation enclosure and protection against weather.
    • Dimensions: Length: 1,6m – Width: 1,6m – Height: 2,0m

    Compressors

    The Hurricane compressors are manufactured in North-America, designed to work exclusively with CNG. They supply flows of up to 127 Nm3/h, and are ideal for supplying fork-lift trucks or for fleets of vehicles. They operate with low suction pressures of up to 0.9 barg, and are thus the ideal choice for use in factories, where the pressures available are generally of this order. Hundreds of units are in operation in the USA.

    • 4 stage compression;
    • Belt drive;
    • Lubricated cylinders;
    • Flow of 127 Nm3/h with 0.9 bar of suction; Discharge pressure of up to 310 bar;
    • High resistance structure designed to resist the highest loads and to guarantee a long useful life;
    • Low level of vibration and noise;
    • Reliable and of simple maintenance, with very low down service time;
    • Designed for heavy and continuous operations, the compressors are all tested before leaving the factory.

    Control Panel

    The control panel is based on a PLC, mounted on the skid, or at a distance, which controls and monitors the functioning of the compressor. The system detects, indicates and shuts down the compressor when abnormal conditions occur, such as low oil pressure, high discharge temperature, low and high suction pressure, high discharge pressure etc. Installation is explosion-proof and intrinsically safe.

    Sound and Weather Protection Enclosure

    The cabins provide protection against the weather and attenuate the noise generated by the compressor, maintaining them within the limits suitable for installation in urban areas.

    • Sound insulation
    • Weather protection
    • Built in high resistance steel structure
    • External instruments panel
    • Gas detector at one point with alarm (optional)
    • Lifting rings
