Vaporless LD-2000 Addendum <br /> 4.0 Description of the Testing Location <br /> The Vaporless system was evaluated at the Fuels Management Research Center which is located <br /> in Grain Valley, Missouri and operated by Ken Wilcox Associates, Inc. All line tests were <br /> conducted using regular unleaded gasoline. Testing for this addendum was conducted on a 200 <br /> ft. fiberglass pipeline with a volume of 85 gallons and a 215 ft. flexible pipeline with a total <br /> volume of 19.7 gallons. The bulk modulus was 34,443 psi for the rigid line and 4,485 psi for the <br /> flexible pipeline. <br /> The 99 LD-2000 was installed by the manufacturer in its usual configuration in a standard Red <br /> Jacket pump. The Red Jacket pump was installed in a 600 gallon tank where product was <br /> thermally conditioned according to the EPA protocol requirements. Product was heated or cooled <br /> in the 600 gallon tank by circulating glycol and product through an external heat exchanger. Soil <br /> temperatures were monitored by temperature sensors located at 2 inches, 4 inches and 12 inches <br /> from the line as specified by the protocol. A single temperature sensor was located 4 inches from <br /> the bottom of the product conditioning tank. The weighted soil temperature and the product tank <br /> temperature at the beginning of the test were used to compute the temperature differential <br /> between the soil and the product. <br /> Page 5 <br />
