If you work on CNG projects, chances are you've asked this question more than once. The chassis is already there, the site is already planned. The last thing you want is to buy equipment that doesn't fit, or has connections that don't match, forcing you to spend a lot of money on modifications. At the end of the day, your real thought is simple: make it work right out of the box, no headaches.
Let's first be clear: what exactly is a cylinder bundle? Simply put, it's a row of high-pressure cylinders (10, 12, or 16 of them) fixed in a standard-sized metal frame. You load it onto a tube trailer chassis, haul it to the customer's site, and start unloading gas directly. Think of it as a "mobile gas warehouse" that can drive. So, whether it fits on your truck — that's the first hurdle, and the most important one.
So, do the dimensions and connections match? Here's how we handle it.
Our cylinder bundles are designed strictly to 20FT and 40FT standard container dimensions. What does that mean? The vast majority of standard tube trailer chassis on the market can be directly adapted without you needing to modify any structure.
But we also know that every customer's chassis is different. Some customers use special trailers, some need to change the flange connection from ANSI to GB or JIS standards, and some want lifting lugs预留 on the frame. We can adapt to all of this.
Here are the options you can customize, covering practically all the "worried it won't fit" concerns:
· Cylinder specifications: Diameter (406mm, 508mm, 559mm, 715mm) and length (5400mm–11580mm) are all selectable.
· Number of cylinders: 10 to 16 tubes, configured based on the gas storage capacity you need.
· Flange connection standard: ANSI, GB, JIS — you tell us which one.
· Working pressure: 20MPa, 25MPa, 30MPa, flexibly matching your transport conditions.
· Frame material and certification: Can be configured with ISO, ASME, DOT, and other certification markings based on your target export market.
Before shipment, we'll first send you the detailed dimensional drawings for your confirmation. Once you give the green light, we start production. If it doesn't fit, we'll modify it until it does.
Finally, here are three other things worth thinking through:
1. Are the certifications complete for your target country?
Nothing is more frustrating than having your cargo stuck at the port. Our cylinder bundles can be certified according to the country you're shipping to:
· EU: CE/PED, TPED certification, cylinders manufactured to ISO 11120 standard.
· USA: Designed to ASME standard, compliant with DOT requirements.
· Russia/CIS: EAC certification.
The safety valve brand, set pressure, and nameplate format — all can be adjusted to your target market.
2. How to choose the cylinder material and pressure?
Working pressures of 20MPa, 25MPa, and 30MPa are available. The cylinder material can be selected based on your medium (CNG, hydrogen). Steel cylinders, glass fiber wound cylinders, carbon fiber wound cylinders — whichever you need, we can match it.
