CNG - In Permanent Use:
Clean fuel for trucks

Economical success factor
As a rule the cylinders used for natural gas powered trucks are larger than those for cars. Full steel cylinders (Type I) and steel composite cylinders (Type II) are installed in trucks.

The following are examples of tank units:

8 x 75 l full steel cylinders
(Type I), installed on the side of the chassis frame - 4 cylinders on each side.
4 x 165 l steel composite cylinders
(Type II) mounted on the chassis frame sides - 2 cylinders per side.
4 x 140 l steel composite cylinders
(Type II). These cylinders are vertically mounted behind the cab.

The MCS product range encompasses full steel cylinders with various diameters, whereby the cylinder lengths can vary according to given requirements.

Steel composite cylinders are available in a standard volume range of 60 l - 165 l.

The cylinders - both full steel and steel composite - have hemispherical ends with female valve threads, one end for the valve, the other for the safety plug. The service pressure is 200 bar.

The additional safety aspects of the MCS double neck cylinders offer significant advantages. Both ends are equipped with burst discs as well as melting fuses with silver seals. In emergencies it is ensured that both safety devices open concurrently and the cylinder can be emptied quickly in a controlled manner. There is also additional safety should the devices fail at one end. The double neck cylinders can be attached to the frame in the neck area, this offers further advantages. MCS, of course, also supplies ready to install tank units including frame and piping.
