Gate-Pak® Injector EI-1255-1/EI-1256-1 Spare Parts

Lubrizol Performance Systems™ has supplied a variety of fluid measurement and control systems for over 35 years. Our traditional market is the gasoline market; specifically the fuel additives sector. Before the introduction of the Gate-Pak® Injector, fuel additives were typically metered into gasoline by metering pumps. While acceptable before the Gate-Pak introduction, metering pumps have inherent problems with leaks, constantly changing calibration, seals that can leak to atmosphere, and no means of proving flow. As fuel additive technology advanced, it became more critical for the exact amount of additive to be injected into the fuel and the elimination of the inherent problems with metering pumps. Thus, the Gate-Pak Injector became and still is the injection system of choice at virtually all the worldwide gasoline marketers.

The Gate-Pak Injector is a simple, piston type metering system with only three moving parts. All wetted parts are either stainless steel or Teflon® and are compatible with the vast majority of chemicals and additives. Each injector is factory tested and calibrated to our customer’s specifications. These features combined have made the Gate-Pak Injector highly accurate and highly reliable with very little maintenance. As discussed above, the precise amount of additive or chemical injected into a product stream is critical. For example, in the case of gasoline additives, if the injection system delivers too little additive, the gasoline will not reach the performance benefits which the gasoline marketer has advertised. Even worse is the reverse case; i.e. the injection system delivers too much additive. This case increases cost by consuming too much additive but also can generate new problems in the engine which can decrease performance.

Both can have a major detrimental impact on the marketer. The Gate-Pak Injector provides both the accuracy and reliability that the gasoline marketers require. To compliment your Gate-Pak® Injector system Lubrizol Performance Systems has developed the Additive Data And Control (ADAC) v2 monitoring system. The ADAC v2 system is a complete package, consisting of an explosionproof (or Nema 4) hardware and custom software, designed to easily provide accurate additive reports. Lubrizol Performance Systems manufactures two additional injection systems; the ABC® Injector and the patented Blend-Pak® Plus Injector. Both provide the accuracy and reliability of the Gate-Pak Injector but add additional features such as meters, alarms, and communications. Also, Lubrizol Performance Systems designs and manufactures Wild Stream® Blending systems for blending different grades of gasoline.

These systems can also blend oxygenate into gasoline which is becoming more prevalent due to the stricter Clean Air regulations. Please contact your Lubrizol Performance Systems distributor or Lubrizol Performance Systems itself if more information is desired.
