General Information

1.1 General Information

Natural gas is a mixture that consists essentially of methane (main component), ethane, propane, carbon dioxide and nitrogen.

To make it more recognisable, an odorising agent (THT) is added to give it its characteristic smell of sulphur.

The composition of natural gas may vary considerably, so as a consequence its chemical - physical characteristics may also presentperceptible differences.

Natural gas is compressed in cylinders for transport and use on the vehicle; hence its name of CNG, Compressed Natural Gas.

The CNG versions of the Stralis differ from the other specific solutions applied to some of the engine components through thespecial electronic management and the presence on the chassis of the canisters and piping.

The Fitter must therefore bear in mind the increased technical complexity, both when studying the conversion and above all duringits execution.

!The highly flammable nature of the compressed gas does not allow the vehicles to be fitted out orconverted for fire fighting purposes or for use in potentially critical environments (for example:airports, refineries, etc.)

NOTE IVECO designs, homologates and builds CNG vehicles in compliance with Regulation ECE 110currently in force.

Operations to the engine fuel system that involve different components to those homologated byIVECO (even if they have been homolgated by an Independent Technical Unit) involve the vehiclehaving to undergo rehomologation.

The financial costs of the rehomologation must be borne by the Fitter.

Operations to the engine fuel system that alter the original structure (for example:moving or addingcanisters, the type of canister fastening) should be subject to approval by IVECO.

Safety Rules

Safety Rules

1.2 Safety Rules

1.2.1 During refuelling

The gas is usually compressed to 200 bar during refuelling. Small amounts of natural gas may be released during this operation.The cooling that follows its rapid decompression may cause frostbite symptoms if it comes into contact with the skin. Wearprotective gloves during refuelling.

Do not smoke, handle open flames or flammable lights. Before filling the pressurized gas system, check that it has no visible defects. Vehicles to be refuelled must be blocked to prevent them from moving. The engine must be off and the ignition key must beextracted from the switch.

Keep fire extinguishers of suitable class (class A, B, C) with other fire extinguishing devices at hand. Class C fire extinguishersare particularly suitable for methane.

Avoid releasing the content of cylinders or pressurized gas pipes into the atmosphere.

1.2.2 In the event of leaks

If there are leaks, there is the DANGER OF EXPLOSION so it is important to not only follow all therules set out by the law and competent authorities, to but also observe the following safety rules.!

Close the shut-off taps on the gas cylinders, the refuelling pump and the refuelling station tank. Switch off the main switch of the electric system of the building or refuelling area. Block access to the hazardous area and have unauthorized people move away from the area. Promptly notify the competent authorities and ask for a restoration operation. Ventilate the entire surrounding environment thoroughly.

1.2.3 In case of fire

Do not extinguish the flame; if possible, cool the object that has caught fire. Close the cylinder cocks and the cocks on the filling risers and tanks.

BURNING GAS = GAS UNDER CONTROL If the flames spread to the surrounding environment, proceed in the usual manner with fire extinguishers to extinguish the fire.Immediately remove the vehicles from the immediate surroundings from the danger zone.

In the case of fire, promptly inform the local FIRE BRIGADE and proceeding with the fire extinguishing operations. Rescue the injured immediately. Rescue operation come before fire extinguishing. Switch off the main switch of the electric system of the building or refuelling area.

Operations on the system


1.3 Operations on the system

1.3.1 Main components

TankThe gas tank consists of a set of cylinders housed in an appropriate structure secured to the frame.

The number of cylinders and their capacity and installation position depends on the vehicle version.

See paragraph 1.4 for further specific information on the cylinders.

Figure 1.1

1168751. Tank - 2.. VBE safety and shutoff valves

VBE safety and shutoff valvesA valve unit (2, Figure 1.1) is fitted on each canister (1, Figure 1.1) that incorporates the devices listed below:

Manual closure for maintenance and separation. Single-acting solenoid valve dependent on the ignition, which interrupts the flow entering the canister therefore pressurizingshould take place when the solenoid valves are not supplied.

Flow limiting valve which intervenes, in the case of a sharp variation in pressure, severely restricting the flow of gas out of thecanisters (for example, if one of the pipes breaks).

Fuse padwhich, in the case of a fire, melts at 103 10 C and allows the escape of gas outwards, directly and securely, preventingthe canister from exploding.

!For safety reasons, bothduring fitting out andmaintenance, theuseof gaspipes as fastenings forotherpipes IS PROHIBITED.In special cases,where space is limited, the electrical cables only canbe fastenedto thegas pipes (usingPVC bands) as long as they have a guiding and not supporting function.Take great care during maintenance operations to ensure that the pipes are not damaged and thatthey have no scratches, grooves, cuts or distortions, visible to the naked eye.If necessary, the pipes should be suitably protected.


Base - 02/2010 Printed 603.95.081


The valves are the VBE type, with a tapered attachment thread and they are designed for 70 litre, 80 litre and 140 litre steelcanisters, respectively.

If one of the flow limiting valves or solenoid valves is not working, this may be deceptive as far asthe effective pressurizing status of the canisters is concerned. With this in mind, consult thesolenoid valve checking and replacement procedures in paragraphs 1.3.3 and 1.3.4.

NOTE

The valves are not interchangeable.NOTE

Shut off/check valves

A manual cock (cut-off valve) is present upstream of the system to prevent gas entering when the engine is off .This cock must beclosed before any maintenance operation on the components upstream (e.g.: pressure reducing valve, engine).

Pipes

All pipes are in annealed stainless steel (316 AISI or 304 AISI), with hardness HRB > 80 (ASTM A269) and without welds.CNG filling plant:

Filler pipe

External diameter 10 mm or 8 mm depending on optional equipment. Stainless steel fittings with twing seal (Figure 1.2, page 1-7).

Pipes connecting manifold to VBE cylinder valves

Pipes of external diameter 10 mm. Fittings with nose (Figure 1.3, page 1-7).

Pipes connecting VBE safety valves

Pipes of external diameter 6 mm. Fittings with nose (Figure 1.3, page 1-7).TheCNGpipes aremounted to the vehicles chassis withmetal brackets or mounts. A rubber or PVC spacer is usually fitted betweenthe mount and the pipe; this must be in good condition at all times to prevent metal/metal contact.

1.3.2 General requirements

Any change to the system layout will definitely entail re-homologation of the vehicle.NOTE

Observe the following warnings when carrying out operations that are involve fuel system components.

Before any operation, close the taps on the solenoids of each gas cylinder, then start the engine and leave running until allthe gas in the lines has been used up and the engine stalls.

Make sure the parts are cleaned, ensuring that no sludge or foreign bodies enter during handling and installation. For thispurpose, the protective caps on the components and sensors must be removed only right before positioning.

The assembly order must be followed in all electrical connections. The components of the feed system cannot be overhauled; if they are inefficient, replace them. Minor components must be replaced and systematically restored to their original positions in accordance with the originalinstallation sequence.

After replacing a valve or after any operation on the high pressure section of the system, aHYDRAULIC SEAL TEST must be carried out at 300 bar.This test must be carried out by IVECO Aftersales Service, which will issue an inspection certificateif the vehicle passes.

1.3.3 Emptying the gas system

!Before important operations on the vehicle (e.g.: welding operations) or maintenance operations onthe engine, the gas system must be flushed with air.

Emptying of the pipes alone is usually sufficient. In some cases, however ,it could be necessary to empty the entire system (includingcylinders).

The decision depends on the importance and type of operation to be carried out but if uncertain, always opt for the safest solution,i.e. draining down the full system.

If there are no problems with the system (e.g.: leaks) it is preferable to let the gas run out by leaving the engine running.

If pressure in the system is lower than 20 bar, correct fuel metering can no longer be guaranteed.

The engine must only be run at idle speed to prevent damage to the catalytic converter.

!The emptyingmanoeuvres must be carried out with the engine off and in the open in an area withoutany spark sources within a radius of at least 5 metres around the vehicle.

Revi - 04/2011Printed 603.95.081/A

To partially empty the circuit, proceed as follows: shut off power to the vehicles electrics at the master power switch; disconnect the battery cables; ground the vehicle; check that the cocks (1) on all cylinders are closed; connect a rubber pipe (compatible with methane) to vent valve outlet (4) to dissipate the gas, the free end of the pipe mustbe at least 5 m from any potential spark source;

slowly open the ventilation valve (3) taking care to avoid rapid decompression, which could cause local freezing; check that pressure gauge (2) is reading zero circuit pressure.

1.3.3.1 Partial emptying

Figure 1.4

155584

!This operation only guarantees the ventilation of the system downstream of the canisters. Thereforeit is vital to make sure that no work is carried out within a distance of 5 metres of the canisters, thatcould produce sparks (welding, cutting, grinding, drilling) or that involves the use of equipment with anelectrical power supply or that uses naked flames.

NOTE If there is a second group of canisters, the previous operations should be repeated on it.

Printed 603.95.081 Base - 02/2010


1.3.3.2 Total emptying

After partial emptying, total emptying of the system also requires ventilation of the cylinders by removing the moving parts in eachVBE valve.Before carrying out this operation, proceed as follows: remove the guard (5, Figure 1.4) from each cylinder unit; close vent valve (3, Figure 1.4); check that the cocks (1, Figure 1.4) on all cylinder solenoids are closed; remove the mobile equipment (plunger) from the solenoid as described below.

Ventilation

Half-open the cocks on the valves (1, Figure 1.4).

! This operation ensures that pressurised gas enters the pipes: for this reason, exercise maximum caution.

Slowly open vent valve (3, Figure 1.4).

!During this operation, cooling due to fast decompression could cause freezing.Take particular care.

Check that pressure gauge (2, Figure 1.4) indicates zero pressure in the system and ensure that it is not possible to start theengine.

Where it is not necessary to replace the VBE valve after draining down the system fully, the previously removed parts that havebeen set aside can be refitted (or replaced if necessary), proceeding as described in the next paragraph.

1.3.4 VBE solenoid valve replacement

Removal

The VBE valves can be removed following a failure or during the regular overhauling of the canisters.The valves that have been removed cannot be reused therefore they should always be replaced,whatever the reason they have been removed. It is advisable to scrap them straight after they havebeen removed.

NOTE

!Before disconnecting the solenoid valves, the system must be completely emptied following theprocedure described in the Emptying the gas system chapter.

1.3.5 Repairs on pipes and unions

}

CNG fuel pipe assembly instructions

Apply 5 turns of teflon on the free threads of the tapered unions before assembling. Themetal pipe will be inserted into the corresponding union without slackening or removing the ring nut to prevent the nosesfrom falling.

The check to ensure that the pipe is correctly positioned in the connector is carried out using a suitable gauge. The tightening torque of the M12x1 threads is 25 Nm. The tightening torque of the 1/4 G threads is 30 Nm. The tightening of the ring nuts of the unions must be done by hand applying a torque of:- for pipe 12x1.5 = 60 - 65 Nm- for pipe 10x1 = 40 - 45 Nm equivalent to 1 + 1/4 turns- for pipe 6x1 = 18 - 20 Nm

System with tapered nose double connectorsIf leaks of gas are noticed from the pipe or the connectors, the complete pipe has to be replaced. The pipe is not supplied

with connectors (Figure 1.2, page 1-7) so they will have to be obtained separately. Undo the unions from the parts requiring connection with the pipe and apply the new ones. The unions are suppliedassembled and ready for use.

Check the condition of the pipe and fit it to the unions, making sure it is fully inserted. To avoid prestressing, always checkthe alignment of the end of the pipe with the unions.

Screw the unions nuts down hand tight. Mark the position of the nut relative to the union body. Use two wrenches working in opposite directions to tighten the nut down a turn and a half. This compresses the cone packand crimps the pipe.

Fit the brackets making sure not to stress the pipe.

Connection of connectors following the simple disconnection of the pipe Check the condition of the union and the cones. Fit the end of the pipe into its seat in the union. To avoid prestressing, always check the alignment of the end of the pipewith the union.

Tighten the unions nut down by hand until the two cones are packed together. Mark the position of the nut relative to theunion body.

Use two wrenches working in opposite directions to tighten the nut down half a turn. This wedges the second cone underthe first and tensions the seal unit.

Fit the brackets making sure not to stress the pipe.

!Before restoring system operation, have a HYDRAULIC LEAK TEST carried out at an IVECOAfersales Service centre.

1.3.6 Special requirements

A) Replacement of minor components

Fuel system components cannot be serviced and must be replaced if they are not efficient. Washers, tapered washers, self-locking nuts and seals deform to improve tightening and they are also of a special type. Theymust therefore be replaced during every refitting.

New minor components must be systematically restored to their original positions in accordance with the original installationsequence.

B) Repainting of outfitted framesThe paintwork must be protected

the methane fuel system stainless steel pipes. the connectors for the pipes. the flexible pipe from the pressure reduction unit to the rail on the engine. the solenoid valves and the coils on the gas canisters. the gas system pressure reduction unit. the identification plates.

C) Engine control unit protection

Figure 1.15

142793

On Stralis CNG vehicles, engine control unit (1) is positioned on the rear cab suspension crossmember, in a central position.If the vehicle conversion operation means that the engine exhaust gas pipe runs vertically behind the cab, the pipe must be keptsufficiently far away from the control unit to avoid problems of induced overheating.This distance must never be less than 50 mm.

1.4.1 Cylinder scheduled overhauling according to ECE/ONU R 110 standards

Methane gas cylinders for road vehicles must be inspected EVERY FOURYEARS by competent authorities responsible for certifyingtheir validity.

NOTE The due date is shown on the cylinders and in the documents supplied with the vehicle.

ECE/ONU R 110 specify the following procedure to be followed in the event of an accident:

cylinders that have been involved in a vehicle collision (frame) must be inspected by an agency authorised by the manufacturerunless the competent authorities decide otherwise. A cylinder that has not suffered any damage following the collision impactcan be returned to service; otherwise the cylinder must be sent back to the manufacturer for examination;

cylinders that have been subject to the effects of a fire must be inspected by an agency authorised by the manufacturer orscrapped and removed from service.

Remove the VBE valves (10) as described elsewhere. Remove: screws (4 and 12), nuts (13) and remove the brackets (2 and 11). Fit a harness to the top cylinder (1) and raise it with a hoist (1). Do the same for the other top cylinder. Remove the nuts (7) and fold down the brackets (6). Remove the lower cylinders (5) in the same way as the top ones.Replacing cylinders

To refit, reverse the order of the operations described for the removal, observing the following warnings:

place the cylinders in the framework with the VBE valves pointing in the right direction, making sure that no metal parts arein contact with the cylinder casings;

check the condition of the pipes, unions and - cones. If damaged in such a way as to affect - their tightness or strength, replacethe pipe and unions;

fit the pipe into the valve seat,with the cylinder oriented in such a way as to avoid prestressing the pipe; hold the pipe in position and screw in the union to 25 5 Nm.

Introduction

2.1 Introduction

IVECO Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) engines are Spark Ignition engines working in Otto process.

They use stoichiometrical air/fuel ratio for combustion in any operation point. The power of the engine is not controlled by fuelinjection quantity like in a Diesel engine, but by air flow through the engine. The reaction times are therefore slightly delayedcompared to a Diesel engine. This reduces rpm control quality in response to varying load.

This Bodybuilder Instructions appendix was made to explain the precautions to be taken and thelimitations to be respected when installing a Power Take-off (PTO) on a CNG engine.

Mechanical Power Take---Off (PTO) installation, maximum power take---off

2.2 Mechanical Power Take-Off (PTO) installation, maximum power take-off

Any type ofmechanical PTO installation known forDiesel engines (chapters 4-1 to 4-5 of IVECO Stralis Bodybuilder Instructions)is also suitable for CNG engine, if the respective gearbox/driveline configuration is available.

2.2.1 Physical torque and speed limits

Normally the engine torque in PTO operation must not exceed the torque that the engine can deliver in atmospheric operation(= without help of the turbocharger). Like this, it can be guaranteed that the engine can react in a relatively quick way to the needof torque variation.

Figure 2.1

engineoutputtorque[Nm]

engine speed [rpm]

PTO max torque

max torque 200 kW

Therefore, three PTO operation zones are defined for a CNG engine (see next page).

Note that all torque and rotational speed values mentioned in these chapters refer to the engine clutch output side. If the installedPTO has a transmission ratio (which is virtually always the case), the torque @PTO can be calculated multiplying the valuesmentioned here by the transmission ratio, the rotational speed @PTO may be calculated by dividing the output values by thetransmission ratio.


Printed 603.95.081 Base - 02/2010


2.2.2 Normal PTO operation - green zone

From 900 rpm to 1300 rpm (engine output rotational speed)From 0 Nm to 550 Nm of PTO torque application (calculated on engine output)Engine operates in PTO mode 1, 2 or 3 using an engine speed control target value of 900 rpm to 1300 rpm.The vehicle is in standstill, gear is disengaged (= neutral), driving is impossible, accelerator pedal is disabled.The PTO load is the only load that is applied to the engine.The PTO load may be applied earliest 0.3 seconds after engine speed control target active.

2.2.3 Full power PTO operation - blue zone

From 1000 rpm to 1300 rpm (engine output rotational speed)From 550 Nm to engine max torque applied by PTO (calculated on engine output)Engine operates in PTO mode 1, 2 or 3 using an engine speed control target value of 1000 rpm to 1300 rpm.The vehicle is in standstill, gear is disengaged (= neutral), driving is impossible, accelerator pedal is disabled.The PTO load is the only load that is applied to the engine.The PTO load may be applied earliest 0.5 seconds after engine speed control target active.PTO operation in this zone requires soft start function and smooth operation control: Soft start:The body must not raise PTO torque quicker than 50 Nmper second (in order to avoid engine stall). This means that full torque(1100 Nm) can be reached earliest after 22 seconds.

Smooth operation control:The body must avoid any significant variation of PTO torque - it is in the responsibility of the Bodybuilder to avoid engine speedoscillations with amplitude greater than +/- 50 rpm and engine speed accelerations greater than +/- 100 rpm/s.

If these limits are exceeded, engine malfunction and catalyst overheating with risk of fire and/or severe damage of the vehicle canoccur. IVECO can not be held liable for any damage caused by inadequate PTO torque/power consumption in full power PTOoperation - blue zone.


Base - 02/2010 Printed 603.95.081


2.2.4 PTO during driving - yellow zone

From 700 rpm to 2300 rpm (engine output rotational speed)

From 0 Nm to 400 Nm PTO torque application (calculated on engine output)

From 0 kW to 35 kW PTO power request.

Engine operates in PTO mode 1, 2 or 3 using no engine speed control target value, but only a low engine speed limit between 700rpm and 800 rpm.

A high engine speed limit may be applied, but not below 1800 rpm.

The vehicle may also be driven with PTO engaged, accelerator pedal is enabled

The PTO load is applied in addition to the normal engine load by driving.

The PTO load may be applied earliest 0.5 seconds after low engine speed limit active.

In case of torque request > 200 Nm, a soft start function is required (additionally to all conditions mentioned above) in orderto avoid engine stall. The body must not raise PTO torque quicker than 50 Nm per second.

Electronic PTO setup


2.3 Electronic PTO setup

Using customer service tool E.A.SY., the PTO configuration can be set.

2.3.1 Expansion Module (EM)

The setup of the EM shows no difference to Diesel engine applications, chapter 4.6.2 PTO modes of the IVECO StralisBodybuilder Instructions is fully applicable.

2.3.2 Vehicle Control Module (VCM)

The setup of the VCM shows significant differences to Diesel engine applications.

Concerning the PTOmode 0 (driving mode), there is no difference to Diesel engines, chapter 4.6.3.1 RPM 0mode (driving mode)of IVECO Stralis Bodybuilder Instructions is valid.

Chapters 4.6.3.1 to 4.6.3.6 of IVECO Stralis Bodybuilder Instructions are only valid for CNG engines, if the respective item is nottreated here.

The VCM PTO programming has the following tree structure

Figure 2.3

Programming by alphanumeric code is not treated here.Detailed programming (= entering every setting manually) is the normal application case.

2.3.2.1 Advanced settings - PTO modes
