The three-axle semi-trailer aircraft refueling truck is a special vehicle designed specifically for aircraft refueling operations. Below is its product introduction:
- Basic Structure: It adopts a three-axle semi-trailer design, consisting of a tractor unit and a tank trailer. The tank is typically made of aluminum alloy, which is lightweight and corrosion-resistant. Multiple baffles are installed inside the tank to reduce fuel sloshing during vehicle movement.
- Main Parameters: Taking the HOWO 45000L Jet Fuel Aircraft Refueller Truck Semi Trailer as an example, its tank volume is 45000L, its dimensions are approximately 15650×3050×3050mm, its curb weight is approximately 16000Kg, its rated payload is 28000Kg, and its minimum turning diameter is 24m.
- Functional Features: It has pressure refueling and fuel extraction functions. It can refuel various types of aircraft through its own reel hose or platform hose and pressure refueling connector, and can also extract fuel from aircraft or other containers back to the tank. In addition, it has a fuel circulation and mixing function to ensure fuel quality. - Refueling Performance: The refueling system boasts superior performance, with a maximum refueling flow rate of 1500L/min for a single hose and 2500L/min for dual hoses. Flow meter accuracy reaches ±0.2%, and filtration performance meets API/IP 1581 5th standards.
- Safety Features: Equipped with anti-static devices and an emergency shut-off system to prevent fires and other accidents caused by static electricity during refueling, ensuring operational safety.
- Ease of Operation: The simple control panel design facilitates operator monitoring and adjustment of the refueling process. The vehicle's ergonomic design also makes it easy to operate in locations such as airport runways.
