VST EVRBalance Nozzle Features

• Simple and robust

Balance Nozzle Features

Simple and robust compared to an Assist nozzle.

– No A/L control requiredq– No ORVR detection

required.

• Very customer friendly compared to pre-EVR Balance nozzles.– VST Balance nozzle is the

same weight and size as an Assist nozzle.



Components

• Has a lever-operated vapor


Has a lever operated vapor valve.– Prevents accidental

opening, which is a common problem with Balance nozzles.

Th i f t b d• There is a factory-based nozzle rebuild program.– Minimizes cost

M i i li d– Maximizes quality and reliability


Components


• Nozzle front-end


Nozzle front end replacement kits available.

• MSRP* for Balance• MSRP for Balance nozzle:

– Balance: $295.00 – Assist: $360.00$

• *Prices may vary• Contact a VST distributor

for details


Components

VST EVRBalance Hose

• Patented variable venturi design:

Balance Hose

design:– Allows maximum* flow rate,

combined with superior low-flow liquid evacuation performance.

– *EPA maximum allowed flow rate for any vehicle refueling is 10gpm.

• Is lighter weight and has more flexibility than an A i hAssist hose.

– Better customer friendliness.


Components

VST EVRBalance Hose

• Better durability compared to an Assist hose during a

Balance Hose

to an Assist hose during a drive-off:

– No vapor tubing to stretch and kink, which blocks the vapor path.

• MSRP* for 8½’ hose: B l $122 00– Balance: $122.00

– Assist: $156.00– *Prices may vary.

• Contact a VST distributor for details.

standard installations, including:

– Curly Q– Lazy JLazy J


Components

VST EVRBreakaway

• Single-use design for maximum reliability:

Breakaway

maximum reliability:– Single use eliminates the cost

of testing after repair.

• MSRP*:– Balance: $94.00– Assist: $120.00– *Prices may vary.

• Contact a VST distributor for details.


Components

VST EVRVapor Processor

• Compact design minimizes visual impact on GDF.

Vapor Processor


Components


• Multiple mounting options for maximum flexibility:

for maximum flexibility:– Ground– Roof– Canopypy

• Active design maximizes control over UST pressure:

– Minimizes ISD alarms.


Components


• The VST Balance EVR System requires very low

Vapor Processor

System requires very low processor run time to control UST pressure.

– Summer average run time:Summer average run time:• 1% • ~15 minutes a day

– Winter average run time:3%• 3%

• ~40 minutes a day


Components


• Does not use the same technology of other

Vapor Processor

technology of other membrane systems.

• No maintenance is• No maintenance is expected to the Processor for at least 5 years.

– Lifespan of the Processor :Lifespan of the Processor :• 10-15 years.

• Available in both single d h h l i land three-phase electrical.


Components

VST EVRIn Station Diagnostics (ISD)

• The VST EVR Balance System uses the Veeder Root ISD system

In-Station Diagnostics (ISD)

the Veeder-Root ISD system.

– Eliminates the cost of a separate control system.control system.

– VST worked closely with Veeder-Root to incorporate all the processor monitoring and control functions.

– This feature is referred to as PMC or Pressure Management ControlPressure Management Control.


Components


• Both ISD and PMC are simple plug-in upgrades for the existing TLS 350 platform


TLS-350 platform.– By using this existing platform, further controls cost for EVR

upgrades, Veeder-Root has approximately 85% market share, which further proves the basic platform.p p

• For GDF’s below 600,000/yr. the PMC package is all that is needed for the TLS.

• For GDF’s above 600,000/yr. the PMC/ISD package is needed for the TLS.

• 1 per dispenser– Pressure Sensor

• 1 per siteI t P b– Inventory Probe


Components


• Pressure Sensor:Is installed in the containment system to monitor tank


– Is installed in the containment system to monitor tank pressures for vapor containment tests.

– It must connect with an open Smart Sensor Interface Module

– 1 per site

• Flow Meter (ISD):A i ll d i d fl t th t P S– A specially-designed vapor flow meter measures the amount of gasoline vapor flow returning from a car for vapor collection tests.

– It must connect with an open Smart Sensor Interface

Features and AdvantagesFeatures /Advantages

• Available for all GDF’s with any throughputs:– PMC only for <600,000 gal/yr.

ISD for >600 000 gal/yr– ISD for >600,000 gal/yr.

• VST ISD Executive Order– CARB has announced that it will be issued by April 1 2008– CARB has announced that it will be issued by April 1, 2008.

• There are no throughput limits for the vapor processor.

• All Balance systems will naturally tend to produce vacuum in the UST.



• Direct replacement for all existing balance hanging hardware:– NozzlesNozzles– Hoses– Breakaways

All can be installed incrementally to reduce the cost impact of an EVR upgrade.



• Easy processor installation with multiple mounting options:– Ground

Roof– Roof– Canopy

• Very low Processor run time:Very low Processor run time:– Low energy costs.

• Can be used on any balance dispenserCan be used on any balance dispenser.– No dispenser modifications needed.



• Statewide program for training VST authorized service contractors (ASC’s):– Estimate a total of 550 VST ASC’s by May 1 2008Estimate a total of 550 VST ASC s by May 1, 2008.
