What are the types of fuel dispensers

There are various types of fuel dispensers that can be classified according to different classification criteria. Here are some common types of fuel dispensers and their characteristics:

Firstly, classify by display mode

Mechanical display refueling machine: This type of refueling machine displays the amount of fuel added through a mechanical structure, and usually has the characteristics of simple operation, low maintenance cost, and light weight. However, mechanical structures may wear and age over time and require regular maintenance and upkeep. In addition, the mechanical display fuel dispenser may have the problem of easy misalignment, which may lead to fuel spillage, resulting in environmental pollution and waste.

Electronic display refueling machine: Compared with mechanical display refueling machines, electronic display refueling machines use electronic components to complete automatic refueling operations and display refueling amounts. This type of fuel dispenser has the advantages of good explosion-proof performance, high measurement accuracy, fast refueling speed, simple operation, easy maintenance, and will not pollute the environment. But the price of electronic display fuel dispensers is relatively high, and maintenance costs are also high.

Secondly, classify by fuel metering unit

Single gun refueling machine: equipped with only one refueling gun, suitable for situations with low traffic flow or low refueling demand.

Dual gun refueling machine: equipped with two refueling guns, it can refuel two vehicles at the same time, improving refueling efficiency.

Multi gun refueling machine: equipped with three or more refueling guns, suitable for situations with high traffic volume and refueling demand, can significantly improve the operational efficiency of gas stations.

Thirdly, classify by type of power pump

Internal pump refueling machine: The oil pump is installed inside the refueling machine and is driven by an electric motor to deliver fuel to the refueling gun. This type of fuel dispenser has a compact structure, but maintenance requires opening the dispenser casing.

Submersible oil pump refueling machine: The oil pump is installed in an underground oil tank and delivers fuel to the refueling machine through pipelines. Submersible oil pump refueling machine has the advantages of high head, low noise, long service life, and easy maintenance, without the need to open the refueling machine casing.

Fourth, classify by traffic

Ordinary fuel dispenser: with moderate flow rate, suitable for general refueling needs.

High speed fuel dispenser: With a large flow rate, it can quickly refuel vehicles and is suitable for situations with high traffic volume or requiring quick refueling.

Fifth, classify according to explosion-proof structure

Integrated fuel dispenser: With a compact overall structure and excellent explosion-proof performance, it is suitable for occasions with high explosion-proof requirements.

Isolation explosion-proof fuel dispenser: adopting a special explosion-proof design to isolate flammable and explosive components from the external environment, improving safety.

In addition, with the development of technology, new types of refueling machines such as intelligent refueling machines have emerged. The intelligent fuel dispenser has been improved and upgraded based on the electronic fuel dispenser, with more intelligent and high-end features. It can achieve information management, realize remote monitoring, data statistics, alarm processing and other functions through networking technology, and improve the management efficiency and security of gas stations. At the same time, the intelligent refueling machine can automatically recognize the vehicle model, fuel type, and optimize refueling time and method, providing a fast, accurate, and convenient refueling service experience. However, the cost of smart gas dispensers is relatively high, which may be too expensive for small gas stations.

In summary, there are many types of fuel dispensers, and choosing the appropriate type requires weighing and selecting based on actual needs.
