A valve for a pressurized fluid, including a body housing a fluid circuit including an upstream end configured to be placed in communication with a reserve of pressurized fluid and a downstream end configured to be placed in communication with a receiver apparatus, the circuit including a control member controlling the flow rate in the circuit, said flow rate control member being operated by a mobile actuating member configured to move relative to the body of the valve, the valve including at least a first functional electronic member and a second functional electronic member, the second functional electronic member being mounted removably on the body of the valve.

Aspects of the present invention provide a cryogenic fluid delivery system configured to provide a predetermined amount of liquid cryogenic fluid from a reservoir to an apparatus (e.g., a vapor ring of a cryogenic chiller system). A controlled high pressure gas burst is applied to the reservoir to push a predetermined amount of cryogenic fluid from the reservoir to the apparatus.

An automatic gas shutoff system for protecting the occupants of a home, apartment, RV, vehicle, etc. from dangerous levels of carbon monoxide. The automatic gas shutoff system generally includes one or more carbon monoxide detectors, a control unit, and a gas shutoff valve under the control of the control unit, so that the gas supply to a malfunctioning appliance can be shut off in the event it is creating dangerous levels of carbon monoxide within a protected space. The shutoff valve may have a manual reset feature that requires a problem condition to be repaired before the valve is manually reset to allow normal gas flow to resume.

A valve for a pressurized fluid, including a body housing a fluid circuit including an upstream end configured to be placed in communication with a reserve of pressurized fluid and a downstream end configured to be placed in communication with a user apparatus, the circuit including a control valve controlling the flow rate in the circuit, the control valve being operated by a mobile actuating member to command the opening or the closing thereof, the valve including a first wireless remote communications electronic member using electromagnetic data waves, wherein the first electronic communication member is secured to a support component mounted to move on the body of the valve between at least a first position and a second position with respect to the body.

A heat exchange system includes a cold source, a heat dissipation apparatus, a water storage tank, a heating portion, and a cooling portion. The heating portion is coupled between the cold source and the water storage tank. The cooling portion is coupled between the heat dissipation apparatus and the water storage tank. The cooling portion transmits heat of the heat dissipation apparatus to water of the water storage tank to cool the heating portion, and the heating portion transmits heat of the water of the water storage tank to the cold source to heat the cold source.

Systems and methods for dockside regasification of liquefied natural gas (LNG) are described herein. The methods include providing LNG from a LNG carrier to a regasification vessel. The LNG may be regasified on the regasification vessel. The regasified natural gas may be discharged with a high pressure arm to a dock and delivered onshore. The regasification vessel may be moored to the dock. The LNG carrier may be moored to the regasification vessel or the dock.

Valve comprising a body accommodating a withdrawing circuit comprising a first, upstream end and a second, downstream end intended to be connected to a consumer of the withdrawn gas, the withdrawing circuit comprising a member for regulating the fluid flow rate and/or pressure, the valve comprising a sensor for sensing the position of the control member, said sensor being configured to generate an electric signal indicative of the position of the latter or of the fluid flow rate and/or pressure set by the regulating member, the position sensor comprising at least one detectable element situated on the body of the valve or, respectively, on the control member and at least one measuring element situated on the control member or, respectively, on the body of the valve, at least one of the at least one detectable element and the at least one measuring element being covered with or enclosed in a protective membrane.

Valve for a pressurized fluid cylinder, comprising a sensor for sensing the position of the control member, said sensor being configured to generate an electric signal indicative of the position or of the fluid flow rate and/or pressure set by a regulating member for regulating flow rate/pressure, the sensor (9) for sensing the position of the control member comprising a conductive circuit having a given electrical resistance, a member for measuring an electric variable of the conductive circuit and a wiper, the conductive circuit and the wiper being movable relative to one another during the movement of the control member with respect to the body of the valve into different configurations in which the wiper modifies the shape and/or area of the conductive circuit measured by the measuring member.

A system and method for periodically releasing oxygen rich gas for inhalation by a user. A container is filled, at least in part, with oxygen gas. The container has a release valve that can be used to selectively release some of the oxygen gas from the container. An activation unit is provided that is connected to the container. The activation unit operates the release valve at a selected rate. Each periodic pulse contains a volume of the oxygen gas released over a first period of time. The first period of time is preferably no longer than the time it takes a user to take a breath. The periodic pulses are spaced to correspond to the rate of respiration or some multiple thereof. A dispenser is provided that directs the oxygen gas into a place where it can be inhaled.

The present disclosure relates to a natural gas hydrate tank container loading system for transporting natural gas hydrate, and the present disclosure provides a natural gas hydrate tank container loading system, enabling self-powered power generation and boil-off (BOG) gas treatment, includes: a refrigerator for inhibiting the generation of boil-off gas which naturally generates in a natural gas hydrate tank container during transportation; and a solar cell, a battery, and a generator, which operates by means of the boil-off gas, for supplying electric power to the refrigerator, thereby ensuring a generation capacity sufficient to operate the refrigerator by means of the solar cell, the generator, and the battery, and thus always maintaining a stable phase equilibrium (self-preservation) in the natural gas hydrate tank container even during long-distance transportation and solving problems of fire, environmental pollution, or the like which occur when the boil-off gas (BOG) is discharged to the outside.
