fast-fill CNG dispenser...

Pinnacle CNG offers a high quality, weights and measures approved CNG dispenser available with many technologically advanced options.  You can customize your dispenser to include a universal credit card reader, a vehicle data management system, and a multi-purpose video screen. The video screen provides a very cost-effective way to comply with most Fire Marshal's CNG training requirements.  Contact us at: (432)686-5905 for more information. All of our dispensers are built to the exacting standards that you've come to expect from Pinnacle CNG.

gas dryers...

Pinnacle offers its customers a unique protective design that guards against climatic conditions that can disable less sophisticated equipment or technologies.  Under certain gas temperatures and/or humidity levels, most other CNG fueling equipment that does not properly dry the fuel will allow ice crystals to form in the fuel.  This can restrict flow in the fuel regulator leading to stalling or prevention of engine start-up.

Pinnacle's innovative technology employs a two-column deliquescent dryer that eliminates water vapor present in most gas to a minimum of the SAE J1616 moisture content standard.  This process provides additional protection for customer fleets and vehicles that operate in marginal or extreme environments.  Inspection and maintenance of these critical dryers are outlined in the routine maintenance schedule for each station and if additional desiccant drying agent is required, tablets can be easily added by one person in less than five minutes.

Our dryer is also one of the most cost-efficient in the industry.  Our equipment costs less and it operates at a lower cost than a molecular sieve dryer.

solenoid valve...

The specifications and advantages of Pinnacle’s new GT-2 high-pressure solenoid valve: Class 1, Division 1, Group A, B, C, D (including hydrogen) Pressure Rating: 5,000 psig MAWP with a 5:1 safety burst test of 25,000 PSI It is available in a 12Vdc, 24Vdc, 120Vac and 220Vac specification CSA has also designated it as a “safety valve” based on its successful performance on the zero seepage test It is approved for any non-corrosive gas The valve is a 9/16th inch bore, having the highest flow capacity in its class.

vehicle data management...

Pinnacle PVT dispensers also offer a comprehensive fleet data management and security system option at no additional cost.  The system is built around a small Vehicle Data Module (VDM) that is installed on each fleet or other vehicle authorized for station access.

When the PVT dispenser hose is attached to a VDM-enabled vehicle, the station's computer monitor promptly checks to verify that the vehicle is an authorized user.  When quickly approved, fuel is dispensed into the vehicle while critical vehicle operating data is downloaded and recorded by the station computer monitor.  VDM data can include vehicle number; time, date, amount, and location of fueling, and engine-on hours since the last fill-up at a Pinnacle PVT/VDM dispenser.  The VDM can even provide separate reports for engine hours on CNG or gasoline/diesel for bi-fuel vehicles.

The Pinnacle PVT and VDM systems have also proven to be a very effective and cost-efficient security feature in preventing unauthorized use of the enable station.  In addition, the VDM has a significant safety feature for fleet operators that can prevent a vehicle from being started if the dispenser hose is connected to the vehicle.

metered time-fill dispensers...

Pinnacle's same dispenser technology is adaptable to provide automated, tamper-proof measurements of fuel dispensed by time-fill.  Pinnacle can provide installation of time-fill posts using this technology, providing complete fleet data management reports for both slow fill as well as fast fill dispensing.

PVT dispensers...

Pinnacle offers a unique patented dispenser option that is designed to maximize fill-up efficiency resulting in "fuller" fill-ups and greater vehicle range.

Pinnacle's patented process monitors gas temperature as it enters the vehicle fuel tank, automatically adjusting fill pressure to achieve maximum capacity.  Fuel systems of the past fail to adjust for heat that develops inside the tank as the gas is compressed during full-ups.  This failure by other systems results in a tank reading "full" but then showing less than full as the gas promptly cools inside the tank.

Pinnacle's patented PVT dispenser compensates for temperature build-up during fill-ups thus providing more fuel at each fill-up resulting in greater vehicle driving ranges between fuel stops.
