Dispensers, Hydrant

The LIQUIP Hydrant Dispenser is designed for the world market, incorporating innovative design and extremely efficient fuel-flow technology coupled with industry-standard components to give easy, efficient and safe aircraft refuelling using the airport underground hydrant fuel system. The Dispenser typically delivers aviation fuel from the hydrant into the aircraft at around 4,000 litres per minute (1,000 US gallons per minute) via a meter and filter vessel. A typical Dispenser has an elevating scissor lift platform with a reach of 4.2 metres to accommodate all aircraft including A380, two underwing platform-deck hoses supported by hydraulic boom, plus single or dual rear hose-reels, also for underwing refuelling. The hydrant coupler and input hose hook onto a hose-lifting hoop which is raised with the vehicle’s hydraulic stabilisers. Pneumatic systems are supplied by hydraulically powered air compressor.
