Gas supply with the DuoControl CS
Fig. 74: Gas supply (with Eis-Ex and
remote control)
A safety regulating system for gas pressure with integrated crash
sensor is available at a surcharge for a two-bottle gas supply. It
enables switching the gas bottle without interrupting the gas
supply.
The regulating system for the gas pressure comprises an
automatic switch-over valve (DuoControl), the gas pressure
regulator, the regulator heating element (Eis-Ex), and a remote
control displaying the status of the bottle in operation.
The regulating system for the gas pressure is mounted at the wall
of the gas bottle locker and connected to the gas bottles via two
high-pressure hoses. The regulating devices and hoses must be
replaced at the latest ten years after the manufacturing date.
The high pressure hoses are equipped with a left-hand thread
cap nut. During every gas test, the high-pressure hoses must be
tested for tightness and replaced if necessary.
Place the gas bottles in the gas bottle lockers and lash tight
with the securing belt.
NOTE
During an accident with a delay of 3.5 g ± 0.5 g
directly affecting the trigger element (corresponding to
an impact speed of 15 – 20 km/h to a solid obstacle at
a mean vehicle weight), the integrated crash sensor
will interrupt the gas flow.
Eis-Ex (optional) Ice or propane hydrate formation on the regulator can hinder or
stop the gas supply in winter.
The regulator heater prevents formation of an ice plug through
electric heating. Thus, trouble-free gas supply is also ensured in
winter conditions.
The operating element LT 632 is used to control the supply. It
also provides information about the gas discharge level.
