Refueling Information

How to use the Refueling Page

• If no fuel level sensor is present, fuel level is estimated based on a 500L tank capacity and an assumed consumption rate of 25 litres per hour.
  •Trip hours must be reset with every refill to maintain estimation accuracy.
• Calculations may vary by ±10%.
• If a fan is offline, fuel level cannot be accurately calculated. Fuel consumption is then estimated based on the last available online data, if available.
• Fleet Run Time describes the maximum duration your fleet can operate safely — limited by the lowest-fueled fan in auto mode.

The refuel page shows an estimate of how much fuel each fan has and how many hours each fan can likely still run.

The information will only be accurate if the trip hours are reset each time the fuel tank is filled.

Any fan which will not be able to run through a full frost night will show with an orange or red circle.

Below we see how this is visually represented.

This example shows a full tank and is displaying we estimate the fan can run for 20 hours with the current fuel level.

Example of a fan with approximately 3/4 of a tank remaining indicating a potential run time of 17.7 hours.

Example of a fan with low fuel around 1/4 of a tank remaining and 6.4hrs of run time remaining. The fan should be refueled.

Example of a fan which is has an empty fuel tank. This must be refilled for the fan to run.

Example of a fan which is offline or does not have trip hours managed/maintained. Fuel level is unknown

Based off the fan with the lowest fuel level we will show the estimated fleet run time in the status bar. In this case below, the fan with the lowest fuel level should be able to run for approximately 3.6hrs before running empty.

The estimate for the total required fuel to refill all fans is also showing 9253L

Fans which are in manual or monitor mode do not contribute to the fleet run time.

Newer fans with a fuel level sensor do not rely on the trip hours.

Below we see an overview of a demo frost fan site showing the refueling status of each fan.

You can see this displayed in the table and on the map.
