A fluid intake/discharge valve body for suction of a cryogenic liquefied gas fluid into a cylinder liner and discharge of the gas fluid with a piston, includes: a valve seat body including a fluid supply portion to supply the fluid and a fluid exhaust portion; an intake valve biased against the fluid supply portion; and a discharge valve biased against the fluid exhaust portion. The fluid supply portion includes a supply pathway connected to a supply pipe; a dividing wall including intake holes facing the intake valve; and a counterbore recessed portion on the dividing wall to surround the intake holes. The intake valve abuts an edge of the recessed portion when biased against the fluid supply portion. The discharge valve receives fluid pressure from a side of the discharge hole including a recessed portion disposed in a region wider than an outer periphery of the discharge hole.

A governing system of an engine coolant control system in which first and second portions of coolant are pumped from an engine to a regulator and back to the engine and from the engine to a radiator and back to the engine, respectively, is provided. The governing system includes a temperature sensor of the engine to sense coolant temperatures, an ambient temperature sensor of the radiator to sense ambient temperatures, a heating element disposed to heat the first portion of the coolant at one of a location upstream from the regulator and the regulator, a valve operably disposed along a section of piping through which the first portion of the coolant flows from the engine to the regulator and a controller which controls operations of the heating element and the valve in accordance with the readings of the temperature sensor of the engine and the ambient temperature sensor.

A gas powered internal combustion engine in which the gas is provided from the gas phase of a pressurized liquid gas in an liquified petroleum gas container and in which the liquified petroleum gas container is rigidly mounted adjacent to the internal combustion engine at a preselected angle to be in conductive heat transfer relationship to the internal combustion engine and in vibration receiving relationship to the internal combustion engine whereby the liquified gas in the liquified petroleum gas container is heated and vibrated and the effective surface area thereof is thereby increased. A pressure regulator is provided for receiving the gas from the liquified petroleum gas bottle regulating the pressure of the gas transmitted to the internal combustion engine and at least one flexible hose is connected to the pressure regulator for transmitting the gas therethrough. A vibration and/or heat limiting member may be incorporated to reduce the frequence and amplitude of the vibration and limit the amount of heat transferred to the liquified petroleum gas.

A regasification apparatus includes a closed loop heat transfer fluid circulation assembly, for the storage of the cold energy extracted from fuel during its regasification, and provides: a first tank, for containing at ambient temperature the heat transfer fluid, and an insulated second tank where the latter is kept cold; a fluid/fluid heat exchanger, defining the heating means, in which the fluid, coming out of the first tank, is placed in heat transfer with the cold branch of the pipe and therefore cooled, then stored in the second tank. From the latter departs at least one insulated branch, to supply with cold fluid at least one utility present in the aforementioned vehicle, for example an air/fluid heat exchanger located downstream an intercooler of the engine. By means of a pipe, the heat transfer fluid, heated back to ambient temperature, returns to the first tank.
