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 present perceptible 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 the special 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 during its execution.
!
NOTE
The highly flammable nature of the compressed gas does not allow the vehicles to be fitted out or converted for fire fighting purposes or for use in potentially critical environments (for example: airports, refineries, etc.)
IVECO designs, homologates and builds CNG vehicles in compliance with Regulation ECE 110 currently in force. Operations to the engine fuel system that involve different components to those homologated by IVECO (even if they have been homolgated by an Independent Technical Unit) involve the vehicle having 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 adding canisters, the type of canister fastening) should be subject to approval by IVECO.

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. Wear protective 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 be extracted from the switch. • Keep fire extinguishers of suitable class (class A, B, C) with other fire extinguishing devices at hand. Class C fire extinguishers are 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 the rules 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.

Main components
Tank The 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.

1. Tank - 2.. VBE safety and shutoff valves VBE safety and shutoff valves A 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 pressurizing should 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 the canisters (for example, if one of the pipes breaks). • Fuse pad which, in the case of a fire, melts at 103 ± 10 ºC and allows the escape of gas outwards, directly and securely, preventing the canister from exploding.

The valves are the VBE type, with a tapered attachment thread and they are designed for 70 litre, 80 litre and 140 litre steel canisters, respectively.
NOTE
The valves are not interchangeable.
NOTE
If one of the flow limiting valves or solenoid valves is not working, this may be deceptive as far as the effective pressurizing status of the canisters is concerned. With this in mind, consult the solenoid valve checking and replacement procedures in paragraphs 1.3.3 and 1.3.4.
Shut off/check valves Amanual cock (shut off valve) is located upstream of the system to isolate the gas with the vehicle switched off duringmaintenance. The manual cock must always be closed before working on downstream components (e.g. pressure reducer, 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 double ring of PARKER type (Figure 1.2). Pipes connecting manifold to VBE cylinder valves • Diameter 10 mm. • EMER fittings with cone (Figure 1.3). Pipes connecting VBE safety valves • Pipes of external diameter 6 mm. • EMER fittings with cone (Figure 1.3). The CNG pipes are mounted to the vehicle s chassis with metal brackets or mounts. A rubber or PVC spacer is usually fitted between the mount and the pipe; this must be in good condition at all times to prevent metal/metal contact.
!
For safety reasons, both during fitting out and maintenance, the use of gas pipes as fastenings for other pipes IS PROHIBITED. In special cases, where space is limited, the electrical cables only can be fastened to the gas pipes (using PVC 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 that they have no scratches, grooves, cuts or distortions, visible to the naked eye. If necessary, the pipes should be suitably protected.

NOTE
STRALIS CNG
General requirements
Any change to the system layout will definitely entail re-homologation of the vehicle.
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 all the 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 this purpose, 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 original installation sequence.
!
After replacement of the valves or after any operation to the high pressure section of the system, the IVECO SERVICE DEPARTMENT should carry out a LEAKAGE TEST (at 300 bar) and, following a positive result, they can issue a test certificate.

Emptying the gas system
Before performing significant operations (such as welding) or servicing the engine, the gas circuit must be completely ventilated with air.
It is usually sufficient to partially empty the system (i.e. to empty the pipes and leaving the cylinders as are) but the entire system (pipes and cylinders) may need to be emptied in some cases. Decide which procedure is required on a case-by-case basis according to the severity and type of intervention to be performed. If in doubt, choose the safest solution (complete emptying). If the engine conditions so allow (e.g. no leakages), it is advisable to use up all the gas by running the engine. Running the engine with system pressure under 20 bar does not ensure the correct fuel metering.
NOTE Below 20 bar, the engine must be run at idle speed only to prevent damage to the catalytic converter.
!
The drainage operation should be carried out with the engine switched off, in an area where they are no sources of possible flames within a radius of at least 5 metres surrounding the vehicle.

!
This operation only guarantees the ventilation of the system downstream of the canisters. Therefore it is vital to make sure that no work is carried out within a distance of 5 metres of the canisters, that could produce sparks (welding, cutting, grinding, drilling) or that involves the use of equipment with an electrical power supply or that uses naked flames.
To partially discharge the circuit, proceed as follows: • shut off power to the vehicle’s electrics at the master power switch; • disconnect the battery cables and connect them to each other to discharge any residual charge; • ground the vehicle; • check that the cocks (1) on all cylinders are closed; • connect a rubber hose (methane compatible) to the terminal (3) of the ventilation valve (2) to dispose of the gas. The free end of the hosemust be at least 5mdistant from any source of sparking or open flame; • slowly open the ventilation valve (2). During this operation the cooling due to fast decompression may cause icing: take all suitable precautions; • check that pressure gauge (4) is reading zero circuit pressure.
NOTE
If there is a second group of canisters, the previous operations should be repeated on it.
Complete emptying procedure When the system is fully drained down, the cylinders must also be ventilated. To allow the gas to be evacuated in safety, remove the VBE valve plungers and the system must be ventilated downstream of the manual cylinder taps. • Proceed with the partial emptying procedure described in the paragraph above; • Close ventilation valve (2); • Check that solenoid cocks (1) on all cylinders are closed and proceed as follows.

VBE solenoid valve replacement
Removal NOTE
!
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 have been removed.
Before disconnecting the solenoid valves, the system must be completely drained following the procedure described in the “Draining the gas system” chapter.

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 noses from 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 Ø 12x1.5 = 60 - 65 Nm - for pipe Ø 10x1 = 40 - 45 Nm equivalent to 1 + 1/4 turns - for pipe Ø 6x1 = 18 - 20 Nm
}
System with tapered nose double connectors If 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) 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 supplied assembled 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 check the 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 pack and crimps the pipe. • Fit the brackets making sure not to stress the pipe. • Restore system operation by running the hydraulic seal test as described elsewhere. 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 pipe with the union. • Tighten the union s nut down by hand until the two cones are packed together. Mark the position of the nut relative to the union body. • Use two wrenches working in opposite directions to tighten the nut down half a turn. This wedges the second cone under the first and tensions the seal unit. • Fit the brackets making sure not to stress the pipe. • Restore system operation by running the hydraulic seal test as described elsewhere.

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. They must therefore be replaced during every refitting. • New minor components must be systematically restored to their original positions in accordance with the original installation sequence. B) Repainting of outfitted frames The 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

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 kept sufficiently far away from the control unit to avoid problems of induced overheating. This distance must never be less than 50 mm.

The methane (CNG) is stored in compressed form at a pressure of 200 bar in a certain number of cylinders positioned in the chassis and protected by metal guards. The cylinders are connected in series to each other and are filled by a refuelling valve provided with check valve. A second check valve is inserted in the solenoid valve fitted on the first cylinder and connected to the refuelling filler. The check valves are used to prevent the release of gas into the outside environment when the valve is extracted after the refuelling operation.
NOTE
A faulty flow valve or solenoid valve may lead to incorrect indications regarding the cylinder contents. Refer to the solenoid valve inspection and replacement procedures in the corresponding paragraph 1.3.4.

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 fuel injection quantity like in a Diesel engine, but by air flow through the engine. The reaction times are therefore slightly delayed compared to a Diesel engine. This reduces rpm control quality in response to varying load.
NOTE
This Bodybuilder Instructions appendix was made to explain the precautions to be taken and the limitations to be respected when installing a Power Take-off (PTO) on a CNG engine.

Mechanical Power Take-Off (PTO) installation, maximum power take-off
Any type of mechanical PTO installation known for Diesel 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 need of torque variation. Figure 2.24 max torque 200 kW
engine output torque (Nm)
PTO max torque
engine speed [rpm]

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 installed PTO has a transmission ratio (which is virtually always the case), the torque @PTO can be calculated multiplying the values mentioned here by the transmission ratio, the rotational speed @PTO may be calculated by dividing the output values by the transmission ratio.

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 Nm per 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 speed oscillations 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 can occur. IVECO can not be held liable for any damage caused by inadequate PTO torque/power consumption in “full power PTO operation - blue zone”.

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 700 rpm 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 order to avoid engine stall. The body must not raise PTO torque quicker than 50 Nm per second.

Using customer service tool EASY, 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 Stralis Bodybuilder 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 PTO mode 0 (driving mode), there is no difference to Diesel engines, chapter “4.6.3.1 RPM 0 mode (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 not treated here. The VCM PTO programming has the following tree structure Figure 2.26
Programming by alphanumeric code is not treated here. Detailed programming (= entering every setting manually) is the normal application case.
