The raritek made a presentation of the gas, and AGNs

 Friday 26 October, the presentation specializes in motor vehicle GK "Raritek", which showed his minicinema gas buses LOTOS and re-equipped under the motor equipment branch GUP MO Mostransavto "Convoy 1377" Balashikha.
Representatives of the Ministry of energy, Ministry of transport and Road infrastructure of the MOE, Government MOE, OOO "Gazprom gas fuel", GK "Raritek" and GUP MO Mostransavto, FSUE "Mosavtogaz" and GUP "Mosgortrans" presented at the filling complex TD "Neft'magistral '" in city Balashikha two mid-size model LOTOS-LOTOS 105-206.

Bus LOTOS 105 length of 10.5 m and a Seating capacity of 76 people, created by special order "Raritek" Chinese firm Foton, and the second LOTOS 206 is a converted 76-seater bus MAZ-206.

LOTOS bus 105, shown as a Gas forum in Saint-Petersburg (LOTOS 105LNG) and at the recent BUSWORLD-2018 (LOTOS 105CNG), will be assembled at its own facilities Raritek gas engines of Yuchai.

Gearbox offered as MKP Qijiang and Allison automatics T280R. In addition to traditional diesel version LOTOS 105 is available on komprimovana (CNG) and liquefied (LNG) methane.

I wonder what version of the bus LOTOS-105 LNG  liquefied methane easier by itself (curb weight, respectively, 11 200 kg against 11 500 kg), and refueling takes only 5 minutes, and reserve this type of fuel enough for 800 km against 500 km on compressed gas (200 m³) in conventional gas cylinders (CNG) which need to be strengthened (and therefore heavier) roof and a-pillar of the bus, which gives an increase of three quintals weight.

The driver gas LOTOS-105 from the basic version does not differ 

Gas engine Yuchai YC6G260N-50 (260 HP, 1000 N·m) in addition to quiet operation simplicity of design, for example, the fan drive (and all other mounted units) is straps

Bus LOTOS 206 with a capacity of 72 people (27 seats) is equipped with Yuchai YC4G190N-50 (184 HP, Euro-5). The volume of CNG cylinders – 615 L. 

Journalists were able to explore the AGNs (company "Oil Highway", which produces methane fuel

 

The whole set of AGNs also includes dispensers, which is implemented via directly gas fuel, also the reception and training of pipeline natural gas  

Room with gasholder tanks, which store kompilowanie to supply pressure, and purified from water and condensate methane

 

Management of the compressor station is fully computerized and automated

The process of refilling the cylinders of the bus (200 m³) is depending on pressure and ambient temperature ~10-15 min. 

Filling takes place with the obligatory participation of the tanker, which also monitors compliance with safety  

Upon completion of the filling of the filling the gun opens with the valve of the fuel system of the bus only after the etching in the atmosphere of a small amount of gas

Which are being under operation of the vehicle to natural gas branch GUP MO Mostransavto "Convoy 1377" in the city Balashikha, intends to put into operation the shop under maintenance and repair of CNG vehicles. For this workshop must be equipped with proper ventilation, fire protection system and a gas leakage detector. By the way, in the town of Orekhovo-Zuyevo in  GUP MO Mostransavto "Convoy 1793" built shop with offices for service from 30 machines.
