20 JUNE 2016 | FUEL OIL NEWS | www.fueloilnews.com LEVELGAS CuantumLabs Levelgas is a wireless sensor that quickly measures the propane gas level in a homeowner's tank using Bluetooth technology that can be accessed through an app on a smartphone. It provides alerts for minimum gas level so a refill can be arranged with the propane gas provider/supplier. Refill quantity can be confirmed. Purchase can be made directly through the app and authorize the supplier to refill the tank even when the customer is not at home. Statistics allow the customer to optimize gas consumption. And, before making a refill the app can calculate the amount of gas or the cost needed to reach a certain gas level. VENTUR-EVAC Jetmark LLC's VENTUR-EVAC (distributed by LPG&NH 3 Supply Inc.) is designed to make evacuating propane easy. With welded steel construction and weighing only 6 pounds, the VENTUR-EVAC is highly portable and easy to carry. Tank evacuations can now be performed by delivery drivers while they are on their routes. Carrying the VENTUR- EVAC in the tool box of a bulk truck eliminates the need for additional service personnel. Immediately r e m e d y o v e r f i l l s b y connecting the VENTUR- EVAC to remove excess gallons. No more calling back to the shop to dispatch service personnel for costly pump outs or flare offs. Efficiently evacuate propane into the bulk truck for valve or gauge repairs with drivers while making deliveries. Setting crews can be more efficient by utilizing the bulk truck to evacuate the current tank and filling the new tank set. REGO COMPACT BACK-MOUNT REGULATOR Engineered Controls International's RegO LV3403BR Back Mount Regulator is designed to reduce first stage pressure of 5-10 PSIG down to burner pressure normally 11" w.c. It is designed as a second-stage regulator for smaller applications with flow requirements up to 450,000 BTU/hr. and is ideal for homes, mobile homes and cottages. It features built in �" F.NPT pressure taps on both regu- lator inlet and outlet side of the regulator. Plugs can be removed with a 3/16" hex Allen wrench. A large vent helps prevent vent blockage, and it is tapped for �" F.NPT for vent pipe away applications. With 15 PSIG inlet pressure, the regulator is designed to not pass more than 2 PSIG down- stream with the seat disc removed per UL 144 specifications and it incorporates an integral relief valve per UL 144 specifications. The unique bonnet vent profile minimizes vent freeze over and its compact design saves space. MLD Rotarex North America's MLD is a low-propane level sensor that detects w h e n a c y l i n d e r h a s enough LPG remaining for up to ten minutes of operation. This gives the forklift operator time to complete a job and exchange cylinders in a safe area. Reliable in all conditions, it ensures forklifts will never run out of gas – increasing propane forklift safety and saving money. MLD serves as a low propane fuel gauge – not a pressure gauge. Once the liquid phase in the cylinder is nearly depleted, the vapor phase of LPG passes into the system. MLD detects this change and alerts the operator that it is time to replace the cyl- inder. This occurs when there is enough time for the driver to finish a job and return safely to the exchange cabinet. The digital technology used in MLD has been proven to be extremely reli- able over many years; it is used in "fill-stop" devices produced by Rotarex SRG that are in service throughout Europe. TANK UTILITY MONITORS Tank Utility's connected monitors provide accurate, up-to-date data on cus- tomers' fuel needs, which will help in prioritizing and in reducing unneces- F.NPT pressure taps on both regu- lator inlet and outlet side of the regulator. Plugs can be removed applications. With 15 PSIG inlet pressure, the regulator is designed to not pass more than 2 PSIG down- stream with the seat disc removed per UL 144 specifications and it incorporates
