“…The NGVC is working with the SAE on this issue and has a working committee in place. One suggested practice [5][6][7] has been to use only high purity LNG, greater than 98% methane. With this approach weathering of the fuel is not a problem.…”

“…LNG as a transportation fuel has been the subject of several studies [5][6][7][8]. The two types of LNG fuel delivery systems being looked at in this paper are the vapor collapse (saturated) system and the vapor return system.…”

“…The cradle to grave handling of LNG is challenging, but a criteria for a properly designed fuel delivery system simply stated is, "The on site fueling station must be in total concert with the on board vehicle fuel system" (5). In other words the fuel pressure needs of the engine and the type of fuel tank (vapor collapse or vapor return) impact directly the design and operation of the LNG refueling station.…”

Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is being developed as a heavy vehicle fuel. The reason for developing LNG is to reduce our dependency on imported oil by eliminating technical and costs barriers associated with its usage. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has a program, currently in its third year, to develop and advance costeffective technologies for operating and refueling natural gas-fueled heavy vehicles (Class 7-8 trucks).The objectives of the DOE Natural Gas Vehicle Systems Program are to achieve market penetration by reducing vehicle conversion and fuel costs, to increase consumer acceptance by improving the reliability and efficiency, and to improve air quality by reducing tailpipe emissions. One way to reduce fuel costs is to develop new supplies of cheap natural gas. Significant progress is being made towards developing more energy-efficient, low-cost, small-scale natural gas liquefiers for exploiting alternative sources of natural gas such as from landfill and remote gas sites. In particular, the DOE program provides funds for research and development in the areas of; natural gas clean up, LNG production, advanced vehicle onboard storage tanks, improved fuel delivery systems and LNG market strategies. In general, the program seeks to integrate the individual components being developed into complete systems, and then demonstrate the technology to establish technical and economic feasibility. The paper also reviews the importance of cryogenics in designing LNG fuel delivery systems.
