Unit Nine　 Electric Vehicles andNatural Gas Vehicles;Passage BNatural Gas Vehicles;Natural gas vehicle (NGV) can run on compressed natural gas (CNG) or liquefied natural gas (LNG) (see Fig.9-5).;CNG refers to that natural gas is compressed about to 20 MPa and stored in a gas cylinder like a fuel tank on a car． CNG is colorless, odorless, transparent and lighter than air with high quality heat． Its main composition is methane． CNG is commonly used on most of cars and light vehicles．;LNG refers to that natural gas is liquefied by cooling to 162 degrees Celsius below zero under the normal pressure． So it is a kind of clear, colorless, non-toxic, non-corrosive liquid． Its volumetric energy density is as 3 times as CNG． So vehicle running on LNG has a driving range longer than that on CNG after each refueling． Many large trucks and some buses use LNG as power source．;Different states of natural gas must use different gas cylinders in structures to store． Gas cylinders for CNG have several types made of different materials． In order for natural gas to remain in a gaseous state in the gas cylinder, the pressure must remain about 20MPa． At present, compressed natural gas vehicles (CNGV) mostly use all-metal gas cylinder and hoop-wrapped gas cylinder which is wound with glass fiber around the surface of the gas cylinder (see Fig.9-6).; The all-metal gas cylinder is low in cost, but heavy in weight． The hoop-wrapped gas cylinder is lighter in weight and more expensive than all-metal gas cylinder． Usually the gas cylinder is mounted in the trunk of the car (see Fig.9-7).; CNG supply system is consisted of three sections: gas storage and supply section including gas cylinder, gas fill valve and pressure line; pressure reducing section including pressure regulator and gas filter; and control section including CNG solenoid valve and gas injectors．;At a filling station CNG is filled into the gas cylinder through the gas fill valve (see Fig.9-8).;In operating, the gas
