Development of a fuel sensor technology for a Variable-blend Natural Gas Vehicle

摘要

Natural gas vehicles (NGVs) with the ability to accept a broader range of fuel specifications can play a significant role in increasing Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) utilization in the transportation sector. The Wobbe Index is a critical factor in evaluating the interchangeability between different high methane fuels. This study details the development and testing of a compact, reliable Wobbe Index sensor for use in NGVs.
