Nanobox® is Galileo’s new Plug-and-Play CNG compressor-package, specifically designed for NGV fleets and medium sized CNG filling-stations. This equipment provides a convenient and attractive solution for the needs of this market. The package integrates compression, storage and CNG dispensers in a single unit.
Available technology offers CNG-filling equipment, sized for very small fleets, or for large-capacity Service-stations. But there was no truly effective, economical solution specific to the needs of medium sized fleets, nor for CNG Refilling-stations in areas of limited demand.
GNC Galileo’s studied all aspects of this sector’s problems. Nanobox® is the answer to these requirements.
Like all products of GNC Galileo, Nanobox® is an integral solution. Applying original innovations an efficient, fast refill is achieved with a compact unit of low cost of installation and operation.

Daily consumption

Nanobox® contains all the components necessary to compress natural gas, refuel NGV vehicles safely, efficiently, reliably—and report all data anywhere.

1) Simple Installation
Nanobox® has no special installation requirements. A simple base-plate gives sufficient support. Because of the low power required and incorporated electric panel, no special electrical installation, nor power transformers, nor external panels are required.

2) Fast fill equal to that of large refueling stations
Nanobox® regulates the refueling process with an intelligent system that permits flow-rates and ease of refill equal to that of large CNG filling stations. A daily volume of up to 3000 Nm3/ day is attainable.
The most advanced features of GNC Galileo’s line of dispensers are incorporated in our Nanobox® package. Maximum flow-rates of 20 Nm3/minute are achieved, allowing for a normal vehicle refill in as little as 2 to 3 minutes.

3) Connect to any gas line
Nanobox® is supplied in different versions, according to the available natural gas line-pressure. The wide range inlet pressures covered is from 0.02 bar to 60 bars.
The connection to high-pressure gas-lines requires no special installations.
Naturally, like any other compressor, the higher the inlet pressure, the higher the refilling capacity.

4) Fleet Management
For the administration and control of CNG consumption, the owner, the outsourcer or service-operator may require diverse control reports, including data on individual vehicles by date and report period.
Nanobox® is equipped with an exclusive system which automatically reads individual vehicle-TAGS and registers occasion and amount of refill. This data is stored for later recall via Internet connection.
The TAG also permits restricting refueling to previously authorized vehicles.
The CPU may be programmed for three types of refueling:

FREE REFUELING	Refill of all vehicles. No individual records kept.
IDENTIFIED REFILL	Refill of all vehicles. Individual records kept for Tagged vehicles.
RESTRICTED REFILL	Refill limited only to previously internet-authorized, Tagged   vehicles. Individual vehicle records kept, reports and statistics   produced.

5) Internet ready

Nanobox® electronics incorporate an exclusive Internet server, which permits visualization of all kinds of commercial and technical information, from any location, anywhere: • Refueling volumes and sales. • Fleet Management data. • Readout of performance and operative data of the unit. • Maintenance reports, records of preventive maintenance compliance. • Fault detection and alarms. • Access to programs and restrictions guiding all aspects of the Nanobox®. The access and visualization of this information can be subject to four hierarchical levels of authorization.

6) Telemaintenance
The CPU and its communications programs allow maintenance personnel to access the read-out of operating parameters on a Hand Held screen, while the unit operates. Utilizing Internet with the Bluetooth wireless protocol, this data can be read anywhere.
Also, compliance with Preventive Maintenance schedules can be checked, previous maintenance records recalled, and new reports filed. Assured maintenance for minimum down-time can thus be achieved.
All information about the equipment is accessible via Internet, facilitating an audit program of operations, performance and maintenance of the unit.
