DIN EN ISO 15403-1: 2009-10 3 EN ISO 15403-1:2008 (E) Introduction Natural gas has been used to some extent as a fuel for internal combustion engines in

22、compressor stations, co-generation systems, and vehicles of various types for many years now. However, the prerequisites for growth, i.e. economic viability and fuel availability, were generally not satisfied. Now, with the natural gas industry well established, supplying 20 % of the worlds primary

23、energy, and the need for alternative, low-emission fuels, the situation has improved considerably. During the past decade, natural gas vehicles have become a viable option with some five millions units now in use around the world. Growth is continuing as many governments actively promote this clean-

24、burning fuel with its environmental benefits. Many fleet operators are converting their vehicles, and vehicle manufacturers are developing and marketing dedicated natural gas equipment. In the context of this International Standard, natural gas vehicles (NGVs) utilize compressed natural gas stored “

25、on-board”. The pressure of the gas stored in multiple containers is up to a maximum 25 000 kPa. Although the pressure has to be reduced before combustion, compression and storage gives NGVs an adequate range. While NGVs were initially equipped with converted gasoline or diesel engines, high-performa

26、nce, dedicated natural gas engines are now being extensively developed and produced. Liquefied natural gas (LNG) may also be stored in the fuel tanks of natural gas vehicles. This, however, will be the subject of a separate International Standard. This part of ISO 15403 for the quality designation o

27、f compressed natural gas is designed to stipulate the international requirements placed on the natural gas used as a motor fuel. Engine and vehicle manufacturers must know these requirements so they can develop high-performance equipment which runs on compressed natural gas. A technical report givin

28、g detailed data on the gas compositions used in this part of ISO 15403 is being published as ISO/TR 15403-2. DIN EN ISO 15403-1: 2009-10 4EN ISO 15403-1:2008 (E) 1 Scope The aim of this part of ISO 15403 is to provide manufacturers, vehicle operators, fuelling station operators and others involved i

29、n the compressed-natural-gas vehicle industry with information on the fuel quality for natural gas vehicles (NGVs) required to develop and operate compressed-natural-gas vehicle equipment successfully. Fuel meeting the requirements of this part of ISO 15403 should a) provide for the safe operation o

30、f the vehicle and associated equipment needed for its fuelling and maintenance; b) protect the fuel system from the detrimental effects of corrosion, poisoning, and liquid or solid deposition; c) provide satisfactory vehicle performance under any and all conditions of climate and driving demands. So

31、me aspects of this part of ISO 15403 may also be applicable for the use of natural gas in stationary combustion engines. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated

32、 references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. ISO 6976:1995, Natural gas Calculation of calorific values, density, relative density and Wobbe index from composition 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and def

33、initions apply. Definitions were taken from ISO 14532 whenever possible. 3.1 natural gas complex mixture of hydrocarbons, primarily methane, but generally also including ethane, propane and higher hydrocarbons in much smaller amounts and some non-combustible gases, such as nitrogen and carbon dioxid

34、e NOTE 1 Natural gas generally also includes minor amounts of trace constituents. DIN EN ISO 15403-1: 2009-10 5EN ISO 15403-1:2008 (E) NOTE 2 Natural gas is produced and processed from the raw gas or liquefied natural gas and, if required, blended to the extent suitable for direct use (for example a

35、s gaseous fuel). NOTE 3 Natural gas remains in the gaseous state under the temperature and pressure conditions normally found in service. NOTE 4 Natural gas consists predominantly of methane (mole fraction greater than 0,70), and has a superior calorific value normally within the range 30 MJ/m3to 45

36、 MJ/m3. It contains also ethane (typically up to 0,10 mole fraction), propane, butanes and higher alkanes in steadily decreasing amounts. Nitrogen and carbon dioxide are the principal non-combustible components, each present at levels which typically vary from less than 0,01 mole fraction to 0,20 mo

37、le fraction. Natural gas is processed from the raw gas so as to be suitable for use as industrial, commercial, residential fuel or as a chemical feedstock. The processing is intended to reduce the contents of potentially corrosive components, such as hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide, and of other

38、 components, such as water and higher hydrocarbons, potentially condensable in the transmission and distribution of the gas. Hydrogen sulfide, organic sulfur compounds and water are then reduced to trace amounts, and high carbon dioxide contents are likely to be reduced to below 0,05 mole fraction.

39、Natural gas is normally technically free from aerosol, liquid and particulate matter. In some circumstances natural gas may be blended with town gas or coke oven gas, in which case hydrogen and carbon monoxide will be present in amounts up to 0,10 mole fraction and 0,03 mole fraction respectively. I

40、n this case, small amounts of ethylene may also be present. Natural gas may also be blended with LPG1)/air mixtures, in which case oxygen will be present, and the levels of propane and butanes will be considerably enhanced. NOTE 5 Pipeline quality natural gas is one which has been processed so as to

41、 be suitable for direct use as industrial, commercial, residential fuel or as a chemical feed stock. The processing is intended to reduce the corrosive and toxicity effects of certain components, and to avoid condensation of water or hydrocarbons in the transmission and distribution of the gas. Hydr

42、ogen sulfide and water should only be present in trace amounts, and high carbon dioxide content is likely to be reduced.
