Pre-Engineered i-Systems: iXPV |
|||||||
| iXPV | ||
| Clean burning natural gas is the most versatile fuel used in industry today. Its cost and reliability of supply are essential to the good health of businesses everywhere. Type iXPV propane-air systems offer an integrated gas energy solution for the mid-sized to large interruptible natural gas consumer. They provide the ultimate in supply security while allowing purchase of natural gas on the most economical level. | ||
|
These systems provide on-site storage of propane fuel and produce propane-air, a mixture that is interchangeable with natural gas. iXPV systems offer safe, reliable and easy to use technology for supplementing natural gas deliveries. |
 | |
| integrated | ||
| All type iXPV systems are pre-engineered by Standby Systems, the leading designer in natural gas replacement systems for over 30 years.
Because they are pre-engineered, you're assured components will work together the way they should, and they're easy to install, operate and maintain.
iXPV propane-air systems can be equipped with a variety of storage configurations, replacement capacities and safety features. Optional packages allow users to customize their system to fit individual needs. |
||
| interruptible gas service | ||
| Interruptible gas service is a bit of a misnomer since back-up propane-air systems provide an un-interrupted gaseous fuel supply. So while reaping the economic benefits of an interruptible natural gas supply contract, you also get the security of supply that only propane-air can offer. On-site fuel storage and on-demand switching between fuels means you'll never be without gas energy. | ||
| interchangeable fuels | ||
| Propane-air is interchangeable with natural gas. That means either gas may be supplied to a group of appliances and result in similar appliance efficiency, flame characteristics and products of combustion. | ||

iXPV Sample Installation |
||
| This iXPV propane-air standby system utilizes one 18,000-gallon underground storage tank (access enclosure shown open at left). Propane is delivered in 9,000-gallon truckloads via unloading station (right). This system can replace up to 670,000 cubic feet of natural gas per day (28 million btu per hour) with a compatible propane-air mixture. | ||
| iXPV features | ||
| Fuel Delivery iXPV truck delivery stations offer a perfect blend of safety and efficiency. Standard on systems with aggregate storage capacities greater than 4,000 gallons, they are designed for acceptance of both full transport trucks and smaller bobtail vehicles. |

Vaporizer / Blender At the heart of iXPV systems is Algas-SDI's type XPV combination electric propane vaporizer and propane-air blender. Completely explosion-proof, the XPV vaporizer uses electric energy to boil the incoming liquid propane to a gas and a venturi style blender that utilizes the pressure of this gas to draw in air and produce a propane-air mixture. It's a simple and very reliable system. Both single and dual tower units are available to meet a wide range of capacities and pressures. Air silencers are standard to ensure quiet operation. While designed for outdoor installation, an optional enclosure is available if desired. |
||
| Controls The iXPV UL approved control panel makes wiring a snap. Just bring power to the panel's main terminal block and extend wiring to components from the clearly marked system terminals. Drawings detail each step. Enhanced control option i1 adds a LCD operator interface along with PLC based integration that supports remote monitoring and control capabilities. |
||
| Propane Storage Both aboveground and underground storage options are available in a variety of sizes to meet your needs. All tanks are constructed to the exacting requirements of ASME. Refer to the selection table for available tank sizes and corresponding days of storage. |

Safety A comprehensive Emergency Shut-Down (ESD) system provides every iXPV user with a level of safety unprecedented in the industry. ESD systems include actuated valves at key points to quickly seal and isolate the system upon activation. Multiple remote shutdown stations allow for operator interaction. In addition to product isolation, all system equipment stops and your facility returns to operation on natural gas. An alarm indicates the ESD system has tripped requiring manual reset prior to continued operation. |
 |
|
| System option i2 offers gas detection equipment to be supplied and integrated for automatic activation of the ESD system. These high quality infrared combustible gas detectors require no calibration thus reducing maintenance costs. | ||
| installation | ||
| Because the iXPV system is integrated, it comes designed for simple installation and years of trouble free operation. Extensive documentation includes standard installation drawings and detailed equipment instructions to make installing the iXPV both easy and economical. |  |
|
Technical Support At any stage of installation, iXPV purchasers have access to Standby's technical support by simply calling our installation support line. |
 |
|
| System startup and training With purchase of optional service package i4, a factory-trained technician will travel to your site, meet with contractors and review installation details. When installation is complete, the technician will return to start and test your system and provide training to system operators. |
||
| Engineering Support In some cases additional engineering is required to integrate the iXPV into your facilities. Standby offers complete engineering support services to help you with specific needs and can oversee installation with a team of construction management professionals. |
