A Multi-Cylinder Never M-T Refueler System combines a G-TEC Refueler 180,
up to 4 NG-130 Adsorbed Natural Gas cylinders, Regulator and a 4 cylinder
Manifold to supply natural gas for in a high-performance economical system.
How does the Multi-Cylinder Never M-T Refueler System work?
The Refueler 180 fills the NG-130 Adsorbed Natural Gas cylinders to 275 psi then
turns itself off when the cylinders are full. When torches are lit gas is drawn from
the cylinders until pressure falls to 225 psi, then the Refueler 180 turns itself
back on, refills the cylinders and again shuts off. The cycle will repeat over and
over as long as the Refueler 180 is not turned off. Average gas flow capacity is
180 cf/hr
and each NG-130 Cylinder holds 130 cf of gas (with 4 cylinders total
capacity is 520 cf) for peak demand periods. The system can be configured with 2,3
or 4 cylinders.
How does the Single Cylinder Never M-T Refueler System work?
The Refueler 60 fills the NG-130 Adsorbed Natural Gas
Cylinder to 275 psi then turns itself off when the cylinder is full.
When your torch is lit gas is drawn from the cylinder until pressure falls to 170
psi, then the Refueler 60 turns itself back on, refills the cylinder and again shuts
off.
The cycle will repeat over and over as long as the Refueler 60 is not turned off.
Average gas flow capacity is 60 cf/hr and the NG-130 Cylinder holds 130 cf of gas
for peak demand periods.
How does a Never M-T Refueler System Work?
G-TEC Never M-T Systems use a Refueler and Adsorbed Natural Gas Cylinders to economically
supply all the gas your torch needs, whether a lot or a little.
The Refueler system connects to a standard low-pressure utility gas pipe and fills
one or more cylinders to 275 psi, then shuts itself off. The cylinders use a regulator
to reduce pressure from 275 psi to whatever pressure your application requires. When
you light your torch gas flows from the cylinder(s) and as you work the gas level
in the cylinders falls. At either 170 psi (Refueler 60) or 225 psi (Refueler 180)
the Refueler turns itself back on, refills the cylinders to 275 psi then turns itself
off again.
Once started the process is fully automatic and will repeat over and over as long
as the Refueler is not turned off - it is like having a cylinder that never runs
out of gas.
When is a Never M-T Refueler system a better choice instead of a Torch Booster?
Torch Boosters are designed for applications like cutting plate steel, thermal spray
and brazing where the gas requirement is steady all day, the torches use gas at about
the same rate hour after hour. Since Torch Boosters do not store any gas they run
all the time and must be sized for the highest gas flow the application might use.
Other applications run in cycles and gas may be used in only a portion of the cycle.
Thermal deburring and removing flashings from injection molded plastic parts go through
a number of steps and gas may be required for only a few seconds in a 2-minute cycle.
Other applications like scientific glassblowing normally use gas at low flow volumes
but sometimes need high gas flow for just a few minutes.
In these applications a Torch Booster would be running all the time even though gas
is used only a small part of the time. You would need larger more expensive Torch
Booster to meet a high flow demand that occurs less than 10% of the time.
A Never M-T System balances cost and performance because it can meet the demand for
high flow gas when needed but the compressor only runs when the cylinders are being
refilled. In addition to putting less wear and tear on the compressor a Never M-T
System is often much less expensive than the Torch Booster that would be required
to supply peak gas flow volumes.
When your application needs high gas flow volumes for short
periods of time a Never M-T Refueler System is the solution!
Some torch applications don’t use a lot of gas most of the time, but sometimes need
a lot of gas for a short time.
A Torch Booster that supplies high gas flow all the time is too expensive and can
incur a lot of wear and tear
without doing much work…a Never M-T System supplies the right gas flow volume at
any time!
