Device and method for filling pressurized-gas tanks, comprising a fluid transfer circuit provided with an upstream end intended to be connected to a source of gas and at least two parallel downstream ends intended to be connected to distinct tanks that are to be filled, the transfer circuit comprising a temperature regulating member for regulating the temperature of the gas transferred from the source towards the downstream ends, the gas temperature regulating member being positioned in the transfer circuit upstream of the at least two downstream ends, which means to say that the gas temperature regulating member is common to the at least two downstream ends, characterized in that the at least two downstream ends of the circuit each comprise a respective control member for controlling the flow rate and/or the pressure of the transferred gas and configured to control the flow rate and/or the pressure in each of the downstream ends independently.

A vehicle has a fuel system that includes a controller that determines when the vehicle is in a refuel mode or a run mode based on a connection of a refuel nozzle to a vehicle connection of the vehicle. The controller controls a fuel pump input selector, a vehicle fuel pump, and a fill/run fuel selector such that fuel is pumped from a storage tank external to the vehicle into a vehicle fuel tank by way of the vehicle fuel pump in the refuel mode, and fuel is pumped to an engine of the vehicle from the vehicle fuel tank by way of the vehicle fuel pump in the run mode.

When a pressure accumulator tank A3a is used as a low-pressure bank, a controller sends an open control signal to an electromagnetic open/close valve A10a to open the electromagnetic open/close valve A10a so that hydrogen in the pressure accumulator tank A3a can be supplied to a tank to be filled (not shown) of an FCV. In parallel with this, the controller sends an open control signal to a first electromagnetic open/close valve 6a and a second electromagnetic open/close valve 6b to open the first and second electromagnetic open/close valves 6a and 6b so that hydrogen can be supplied also from a compressor 2 to the tank to be filled of the FCV.

A gas magazine for a pneumatic weapon simulator. A gas magazine fill station for a pneumatic weapon simulator. A method of filling a gas magazine for a pneumatic weapon simulator. The apparatus for filling and refilling a fluid reservoir of a magazine for a pneumatic firearm simulator from a source of pressurized fluid of the present disclosure includes: a receiver for receiving the magazine; a passage for conveying the pressurized fluid from the source of pressurized fluid to the fluid reservoir of the magazine received in the receiver; and, a vent valve in fluid communication with the passage for venting the pressurized fluid from the passage. The apparatus may further include a vent channel in fluid communication with the vent valve. The apparatus may also include a valve in fluid communication with the passage which is adapted for permitting pressurized fluid to be conveyed through the passage; and alternately, prevent pressurized fluid from being conveyed through the passage.

A fuel distribution station includes a first fuel tank for releasably holding a first fuel, and a second fuel tank for releasably holding a second fuel. A connection member extends between the first fuel tank and the second fuel tank, and provides a rigid connection between the first fuel tank and the second fuel tank. A support structure supports the first fuel tank and the second fuel tank in an elevated position a predetermined distance above ground, sufficient to allow for passage of land vehicles beneath the support structure during a fueling operation. A control system is utilized for selectively permitting and monitoring a discharge of fuel from the first fuel tank and the second fuel tank to the land vehicles during the fueling operation.

The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for optimizing refueling hydrogen in vehicles. Specifically, the present disclosure relates to identifying a refueling station, conducting a safety check on the vehicle based on a distance between the vehicle and the refueling station, switching a power source of the vehicle to only be a battery, swapping an empty or partially filled hydrogen fuel tank on the vehicle with a filled or partially filled hydrogen fuel tank at the refueling station, and switching the power source of the vehicle to include a hydrogen power source.

Disclosed herein is an apparatus for facilitating transferring fluids between containers, in accordance with some embodiments. Accordingly, the apparatus comprises a first container and a regulator. Further, the first container contains a first fluid at a first pressure and transfers the first fluid to a second container. Further, the second container transfers the second fluid to a third container based on the transferring. Further, the second pressure is greater than a third pressure of a third fluid contained in the third container. Further, the regulator is operatably coupled with the first container. Further, the regulator controls a mass flow rate of the first fluid transferred from the first container. Further, the transferring of the first fluid to the second container is based on the controlling. Further, the controlling facilitates maintaining a differential pressure between the second pressure and the third pressure within a differential pressure range.
