MOBILE CO2 FILLING SYSTEM FOR FILLING ONSITE CO2 STORAGE AND DISPENSING SYSTEMS WITH CO2
A mobile CO2 filling system selectively fills onsite CO2 storage and dispensing systems with CO2. The system includes a mobile platform; a tank holding liquid CO2 mounted on the mobile platform; a flexible dispensing hose couple to the tank and configured to be selectively coupled to the filling inlet of an onsite CO2 storage and dispensing system; a pump selectively coupled to the tank; and a controller for controlling the filling of an onsite CO2 storage and dispensing systems with CO2 from the tank, wherein the controller is selectively designated by the user to operate in at least one pump assisted filling state and at least one gravity feed filling state.

Cryogenic fluid management
According to an example aspect of the present invention, there is provided a system comprising a cryogenic liquid storage tank, a first pressure tank and a second pressure tank, both connected via leads to the storage tank, at least one ejector, each of the at least one ejector being connected via leads to both pressure tanks, and a controller, the controller being configured to admit cryogenic fluid from the storage tank to the first pressure tank, to cause the cryogenic fluid to be heated to convert it into gas form, and to admit the fluid in gas form from the first pressure tank through a first ejector from among the at least one ejector, such that the fluid in gas form acts as a motive fluid to cause evacuation of the second pressure tank as it passes through the first ejector.
METHOD AND DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING GAS CONSUMERS
The invention relates to a method for controlling a plurality of gas consumers (20, 21), comprising the following steps: assigning priorities to the gas consumers (20, 21), and activating or deactivating the gas consumers (20, 21) as a function of the priorities assigned. The invention further relates to a control device (1) for controlling gas consumers (20, 21).
BOTTOM WALL OF A LIQUEFIED GAS STORAGE TANK
A tank for transporting and/or storing a liquefied gas includes: a plurality of walls, each including, in a direction of the thickness of the wall, a thermally insulating barrier and a leak-tight membrane that rests against the thermally insulating barrier and is intended to be in contact with the liquefied gas inside the tank, the thermally insulating barrier including a plurality of self-supporting heat-insulating panels which each includes a block of polymer foam and a plate, a bottom wall of the plurality of walls includes a first portion at least partially surrounding a second portion of the bottom wall, the second portion including drain. The blocks of polymer foam of the second portion have a density greater than a density of the polymer foam blocks of the first portion.

Low emission nozzles and receptacles
A nozzle for dispensing fluid includes a probe slidably disposed in a main body. The probe has a probe body defining a check sealing surface and a check void. A check assembly is at least partially disposed in the check void, and includes a check configured to move relative to the main body and the probe body. A spring is configured to bias the check to sealingly engage the check against the check sealing surface of the probe body.
