Filler and OPD Combo Device
The low-emission SF7647V series combination filler valve and OPD is designed to provide fast filling and protection against overfilling of vertical aboveground small bulk-type containers. It will stop the flow of product into the container when the liquid level reaches 80% to 83% of its capacity.

Quick-Connect Filling Valve
The Snap-Fill quick-connect propane filling valve enables a quick, safe refilling of propane cylinders, such as those used on forklifts and ride-on mowers. Its secure connection eliminates cross-threading or partial installation and reduces emissions released into the atmosphere.
Exhibitor:
Cavagna Group

Hose-End Valve
The RegO A7914 2-in. FNPT x 3¼-in. ACME low-emission hose-end valve for loading bobtails and transports is designed to reduce the amount of product vented when disconnecting their loading hoses to less than 2 cc, in compliance with CARB regulations.

Compact Regulator
The Excela-Flo compact first-stage F-POL domestic regulators, MEGR-1222H series, offer a compact design for use in tight applications such as underground tank domes. They feature an adjustment range of 9 to 12 psig and have molded lip fabric-reinforced diaphragms and precision-machined orifices to minimize freeze-ups. Exhibitor: Marshall Excelsior
Booth #436
Skid-Mounted Dispenser
Bergquist Inc.’s D2AFF Trinity skid-mounted dispenser features the new 1000-GWC Trinity autogas skid tank with the valves mounted on the side of the tank for easier access. The tank also has bottom openings. The unit is fully piped and wired for easy site connection, and has a Corken high-differential turbine pump. All three tank connections are protected with internal valves equipped with pneumatic actuators. Its integral purging system with three-way ball valve permits faster cylinder purging and low-emission transfer valves minimize discharge during disconnect. The unit features a diamond-plate aluminum cabinet, double doors, and slide-back top. The dispenser may be used for both cylinder and autogas filling.

The new products aren’t just in the Innovation Pavilion, though.
Here are just two that attendees can see on the Expo floor…
Cylinder Inverter
American Standard Manufacturing (ASM) has introduced a new, improved second-generation air-powered propane cylinder inverter. It features the same simple design as the original Little Giant, with an innovative air-powered lifting/turning system. It operates on compressed air, with no electric motors or switches. The inverter has the capacity to handle one 420-lb tank or dual 100-lb tanks.

2015 Autogas Pavilion
Amtrol will display its autogas cylinders, offered in bed-, trunk-, and frame-mount configurations that fit most makes and models of cars and trucks. The cylinders meet all ASME Section VIII, Div. 1 standards, and comply with NFPA 58 standards for motor fuel tanks. They are made in the USA.
Kentucky Propane Education & Research Council will exhibit its 2014 Dodge Charger Pursuit, a police-specification vehicle equipped with the 5.7-L Hemi engine. A Prins VSI bi-fuel conversion has been installed. The auto will be used in Kentucky to demonstrate the effectiveness of propane autogas for first-responder fleets.
Ecopower Technologies will show its alternative-fuel race car that has won seven world speed records. It will soon attempt to set a 300-mph record using the latest Ecopower Technologies B&I Quad PAC injection system. The injection system is the prototype extension of Ecopower’s patented technology. The gasoline/diesel, pressure- or vacuum-frequency induction system will be part of the research completed during this year’s attempt to set another record.
