ATC automatically
corrects fuel delivery volumes for changes in product temperature
to a standard temperature of 15 degrees Celsius (Canada) or
60 degrees Fahrenheit (United States). Because the volume of
a fuel changes according to its temperature, dispensed quantities
of liquid fuels such as gasoline and diesel are inherently innaccurate
when changes in product temperature are not compensated for.
This inaccuracy can add up to significant losses for fuel retailers,
especially in centers where the average ambient temperature
is below 15 degrees Celsius! Using ATC to compensate for fuel
shrinkage can minimize the losses for liquid motor fuel retailers.
If your pump or dispenser does not already have ATC, this unique
Kraus Global technology is available either as a retrofit kit
for existing field dispensers, or as an option in the Kraus
Global Micon 500L register head.
