CO2 Gas Supply by Means of an Aquarium Pressurized Gas Vessel With a Nutrient Substrate
The present invention relates to an aquarium pressurized gas vessel for supplying an aquarium (12) with CO2 gas generated in the aquarium pressurized gas vessel (10), wherein the aquarium pressurized gas vessel (10) comprises: a receiving vessel (14) for receiving a nutrient substrate and a reactant interacting with the nutrient substrate such that the nutrient substrate and the reactant react with each other to generate CO2 gas; a closing device (16) for closing the receiving vessel (14) in a pressure-tight manner; a gas outflow device (18) for extracting CO2 gas from the aquarium pressurized gas vessel (10) for the aquarium (12), wherein the CO2 gas has a gassing pressure (p_B) when flowing into the gas outflow device (18); a gas vessel pressure regulator (20) for adjusting a gas vessel pressure (p_G) which substantially corresponds to the gassing pressure (p_B).
Further, the present invention relates to a CO2 gassing system (28) comprising the aforementioned aquarium pressurized gas vessel (10).
FLUID FILLING SYSTEMS AND METHODS
The present disclosure provides systems and methods for refilling fluid containers. A fluid container may include a bottle and a valve assembly. The valve assembly may include two valves and be configured to engage with the bottle and a filling head or dispensing head. A system is configured to provide pressurized fluid to the refillable container, monitor filling, determine when to stop filling, and determine how much fluid was provided. The valve assembly may include a float mechanism coupled to one of the valves of the valve assembly to ensure fluid flow is stopped when the fluid container is full. The fluid, which can include carbon dioxide, is stored in a storage tank. A flow system provides the fluid to a filling head, which engages with the fluid container. The flow system includes a transfer pump, valves, and sensors configured to provide the fluid to the filling head.
PRESSURIZED ADHESIVE TANK SYSTEM
The present invention provides fluid storage and dispensing tanks and methods for storing reactive fluids, such as component fluids for two-component adhesives, foams, and sealants. The tanks contain a reactive fluid for storage until the fluid is desired to be dispensed. The tank includes a subject fluid storage chamber that contains the subject fluid independent of any propellants or other fluids or gases. When the tank is desired to be used, a propellant, such as a volatile propellant or a compressed gas (e.g. compressed air) are introduced directly into or around the storage chamber to facilitate dispensing the subject fluid from the tank. The tank may include a propellant storage chamber inside the canister body and adjacent to the subject fluid storage chamber. The propellant chamber is selectively punctured when the tank is to be used. The tank may include a flexible bladder defining the storage chamber.
SCALABLE GREENHOUSE GAS CAPTURE SYSTEMS AND METHODS
Scalable greenhouse gas capture systems and methods to allow a user to off-load exhaust captured in an on-board vehicle exhaust capture device and to allow for a delivery vehicle or other transportation mechanism to obtain and transport the exhaust. The systems and methods may involve one or more exhaust pumps, each with an exhaust nozzle corresponding to a vehicle exhaust port. Upon engagement with the vehicle exhaust port, the exhaust nozzle may create an air-tight seal between the exhaust nozzle and the vehicle exhaust port. A first pipe may be configured to transport captured exhaust therethrough from the exhaust nozzle to. The captured exhaust may be at least temporarily stored in an exhaust holding tank connected to and in fluid communication with the first pipe
SMALL MOLECULE GAS STORAGE ADAPTER
An apparatus in the form of a subterranean storage container configured to store a volume of a small molecular gas, such as hydrogen or methane. In some embodiments, a casing is arranged to extend into a subterranean formation. A top end of the casing is connected to a top cap structure. The top cap structure includes an adapter flange connected to an inner liner which extends within the casing and is separated therefrom by a circumferentially extending annulus. The annulus is configured to be filled with a fluid at a predetermined pressure. The fluid may be an uncompressible liquid such as propylene glycol. The small molecular gas is stored within an interior of the inner liner at a selected pressure, such as above 1000 pounds per square inch (psi).
Liquid cryogen delivery and injection control apparatus
A delivery apparatus and method for delivering liquid cryogen to a chilling application includes a liquid cryogen feed tank; a liquid cryogen conduit in fluid communication between the feed tank and the application, wherein the feed tank is in fluid communication with a vessel which is in fluid communication with the conduit between the feed tank and the application; a weight measurement device for controlling the weight of liquid cryogen to be delivered to the application through the conduit; a flow controller for controlling the speed of delivery of the liquid cryogen to the application; wherein the application utilizes the liquid cryogen and produces an exhaust gas; a device for measuring the temperature of the exhaust gas, the device in operative communication with the flow controller; wherein the flow controller is configured to vary the speed of delivery of liquid cryogen from the vessel through the conduit in response to the temperature of the exhaust gas.
APPARATUS AND METHODOLOGY FOR THE ONSITE AUTONOMOUS MANUFACTURING AND PLACEMENT OF A COILED, CANNULAR INTELLIGENT COMPOSITE STRUCTURE FOR THE HIGH VOLUME, LOCALIZED AND RESILIENT STORAGE OF HYDROGEN AND OTHER GASEOUS AND LIQUID MEDIA
Methods and manufactures disclosed herein generally relate to a cannular composite (ITC) structure composed of multiple layers of sealing, reinforcement, sensing, protection, and interspatial injected materials.
DELIVERY SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR THE EFFECTIVE, RELIABLE AND FOOLPROOF DELIVERY OF CONTROLLED AMOUNTS OF A MEDICAL FLUID
A method for performing a medical procedure requiring effective, reliable and foolproof delivery of controlled amounts of a medical grade gas to a patient includes providing a compressed gas cylinder having a weight with medical grade gas sealed therein of at least twelve grams and not greater than fifty grams. The method also includes connecting the compressed gas cylinder to an integrated compressed gas unit including a regulator valve assembly positioned between an outlet port and an inlet port, wherein the regulator valve assembly includes a press button actuator and regulator adjustment dial. A flow control system is secured to the compressed gas unit and the medical grade gas is delivered in precisely controlled amounts by actuating the compressed gas unit and operating the flow control system to deliver the medical grade gas to vasculature of the patient.
AIR TANK ASSEMBLY
An air tank assembly disposed within a cab of a vehicle having a floor and a seat for a vehicle occupant comprises a platform mounted to the floor of the cab of the vehicle. A base of the seat is mounted to the platform opposite to the floor of the cab of the vehicle. At least one tank providing storage for compressed air is located by the platform above the floor of the cab of the vehicle adjacent the base of the seat.
Knob Cap for High-Pressure Tank
The present invention discloses a knob cap for a high-pressure tank including a first knob cap portion having a coupling groove coupled to a knob of a liner of the high-pressure tank in a lower surface, including a peripheral wing portion extending outward to be in contact with a surface of the liner to outside of a lower portion, and having a column portion in the shape of a column extending upward in a center; and a second knob cap portion integrally coupled with the first knob cap portion, having the column portion of the first knob cap portion inserted into a hollow, and including a plurality of inner grooves in the shape of a column having an upper end opened outside of the hollow and extending downward.
