International first car methanol pump to be put into operation in Nanjing

The key technology of the methanol pump for methanol cars has been overcome. Yesterday, the reporter was informed that the first internationally specialized R&D and production project for methanol pumps for vehicles has settled in the Qixia Golden Port Technology Innovation Center and will soon be put into production in Ningxia.

According to reports, the project was invested by Jiangsu Galis Auto Technology Co., Ltd., which was invested 30 million yuan. It was established in cooperation with returning senior engineers Zhou Tie and Yu Dequan, who had worked for GM and Ford Motor Company in the United States for nearly 20 years. Ministry of Science and Technology International Science and Technology Cooperation Project Acceptance.

Methanol fuel has been identified by the National Development and Reform Commission as a transitional vehicle alternative fuel for the next 20-30 years. The National Energy Administration plans that by 2020, China will annually produce nearly 20 million methanol cars with methanol as fuel. Methanol can be extracted from coal. China's first vehicle fuel methanol standard was implemented on November 1, 2010.

"Because methanol will corrode carbon brushes, impellers, level floats, and other components in gasoline pumps, causing malfunctions such as sensor failure, fuel injection clogging, and brushing of pump cores, ordinary gasoline pumps cannot be used for methanol fuel. At present, there is no methanol pump suitable for methanol fuel in the world.” Zhou Tie introduced that Gallice’s methanol pump for vehicles uses a new type of corrosion-resistant material and uses a new brushless motor as a power system, not only for methanol fuel. Ethanol and gasoline car fuel can also be used. The project became the first international vehicle methanol pump R&D project and successfully filled the international gap.

“Shanxi extracts methanol from coal at a price of RMB 2,000 per ton. Based on the current price of 93# gasoline, taxis use methanol instead of gasoline, which can save RMB 20-30 per hundred kilometers.” Zhou Tie said that at present, Galis The methanol pump for vehicles developed by the company has been tested on large-scale transportation vehicles in coal-producing provinces such as Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Henan, and will cooperate with FAW Liberation to put it into use on its methanol truck to be put into operation.
