What’s on that truck: solutions for mobile applications

Fuel delivery trucks, tank trucks and mobile trailers all have the task of handling and metering fuel. The major challenge for all of these is avoiding loss of product, time and money.

High quality equipment is required for the efficient performance of petrochemical transport, which includes pumps, meters and hydraulic coolers. Hurll Nu-Way offers high quality equipment from leading manufacturers, being a one-stop shop for your mobile fuel applications.

Petrochemical tankers and mini tankers typically use pumps mounted directly to the bottom of the tank, or foot-mounted pumps mounted on the chassis of the truck and piped to the bottom of the tank. The best technology option for this type of transport is sliding vane. These pumps are driven either by a PTO connection coming from the truck’s engine or by a hydraulic motor direct mounted to the pump. There would be a hydraulic pump system mounted on the truck to drive the motor on the pump.

Hurll Nu-Way offers a range of sliding vane pumps including Corken PT, PZ and Coro-flo series. Available in most sizes, they are characterised by high pumping efficiency, low noise, and thrust bearing design for durability, with a hydraulic drive option. They are available in foot and truck-mounted designs for versatility and are easy and cost effective to maintain.

The trucks are also equipped with meters that measure the amount of product being dispensed for point of custody transfer and/or for billing purposes. Hurll Nu-Way offers a variety of metering technologies for the mobile petrochemical industry. When it comes to LPG, Hurll Nu-Way offers the only truck-mounted mass flow meter in the market, with over twelve years of proven performance. Introduced in 2002, the world’s first mass flow meter designed to meet the rigorous demands of the LPG bobtail/tanker environment, the Neptune/Red Seal mass flow meter is highly accurate and virtually maintenance free.

A mass flow meter utilises Coriolis effect and provides volumetric flow measurement of propane gases when interfaced with a Liquip electronic register. The addition of Modbus allows a direct measurement of mass, density and temperature. The outstanding flexibility of the Liquip register gives the system an upgrade path not obtainable with competitive electronic transaction management systems. The Liquip menu-driven register functions are easy to learn and remember.

Interfacing through common handheld devices and laptops makes data management fast and easy between truck and office. The space-efficient Neptune RML2000 system can be installed on both new and existing vehicles.

The third component contributing to the performance of a mini tanker is a hydraulic oil cooler, combining the functions of an oil tank, oil cooler and security relief valve.

Hurll Nu-Way offers the HydraFlow hydraulic oil cooler, featuring a downward facing fan for quieter operation. Ranging from 21-28cm, these units can be mounted in tight installations, and bring the benefits of maximum efficiency and minimised filter damage with filter bypass valve.

With high quality equipment, your truck is ready to go. If you handle propane, butane, LPG, carbon dioxide, lube oil and other hazardous liquids and gases, contact Hurll Nu-Way to learn more about the solutions they offer.
