High Performance Features That Make Cascades & Cylinders Unique
FEATURES
A World Of Difference
Cascades | Type-I | Type-IV | |
Material of Construction | Made of Steel | Non-metallic inliner, fully wrapped with carbon fibre. | |
Cylinder Weight(9,000 Litre Capacity Cascade) | 13,200 Kgs | 2,538 kgs | |
CNG Carrying Capacity(Per Cascade as per Payload & RTO Norms) | 4,500 Litres | 9,360 Litres* | |
Residue Impact | Sulphur/H₂S residue, Corrodes Metal Cylinder. Maintenance Required. | Polymer inliner inert to all residues.Maintenance Free. | |
Standard | IS:7285 | ISO:11119-3 |
* Depending on the requirement, different optimum size cascades are available in different Water Liter Capacities. Reduce operating costs and maximize movement of maximum CNG.
On-Board | Type-I | Type-IV | |
Material of Construction | Made of Steel, Exposed to atmosphere and prone to corrosion. | Non-metallic cylinder fully wrapped with carbon fibre. | |
Standard Sizes | 30 Litres – 35 kgs (Tare) 60 Litres – 65 kgs (Tare) |
60 Litres – 16 kgs (Tare) | |
Cylinder Weight | Heavy weight cylinder. Huge additional load on vehicle chassis. |
Light weight cylinder, More driving comfort, Higher service life to vehicles. |
|
Residue Impact | Can result into engine seizure or clogging of fuel lines. Prone to rust. |
Inliner inerts to CNG residues S/H₂S. No Rust, No Corrosion. |
|
Vehicle Mileage | Lower mileage due to higher weight. | Higher mileage due to lower weight. | |
Cylinder Mounting | Heavy Weight – Limits the number of cylinders. | Light Weight – One or more cylinders can be mounted increasing driving range. |
|
Suspension Load | Higher wear and tear of suspension and brake parts. |
Lighter cylinder, lighter load on suspension and brake parts. |
|
Explosion Proof | Metal cylinders prone to explosion in the event of fire. |
