A system for increasing the efficiency of heating cryogenic fluid flowing in a downstream direction through a fluid conduit includes a heating mechanism, an upstream valve, a downstream valve, and a controller. The heating mechanism heats the cryogenic fluid, resulting in conversion of a portion of the cryogenic fluid into a buoyant flow moving in an upstream direction. The upstream valve is located upstream of the heating mechanism and controls an upstream-valve mass flow rate of the cryogenic fluid. The downstream valve is located downstream of the heating mechanism and controls a downstream-valve mass flow rate of the cryogenic fluid. The controller adjusts the upstream valve to a choked position at which: an upstream-valve non-buoyant mass flow rate substantially matches the downstream-valve mass flow rate, and the upstream valve at least partially blocks the buoyant flow from flowing in the upstream direction past the upstream valve.

A doser for dispensing a cryogenic fluid includes a doser body configured to receive the cryogenic fluid. The dosing arm has a proximal end and a distal end and a central passage extending between the proximal and distal ends. Furthermore, the dosing arm is configured to receive cryogenic fluid from the doser body. A bayonet connection removably connects the proximal end of the dosing arm to the doser body. A dosing head is mounted to the distal end of the dosing arm and is configured to receive cryogenic fluid from the central passage of the dosing arm and to dispense the cryogenic fluid.

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.

Disclosed herein is a pressure control system for a liquid natural gas (LNG) storage tank. The pressure control system comprises a second heat exchanger, comprising a first inlet fluidly coupled with the LNG storage tank and a first outlet fluidly coupled with the LNG storage tank. The pressure control system also comprises a coolant, fluidly coupled with a second inlet of the second heat exchanger. The heat exchanger is configured to transfer energy from the coolant to the LNG from the LNG storage tank to vaporize the LNG into compressed natural gas (CNG). The pressure control system also comprises a first control valve selectively operable to allow LNG to flow from the LNG storage tank to the heat exchanger and to allow CNG to flow from the heat exchanger to the LNG storage tank when a pressure within the LNG storage tank is below a lower pressure threshold.

A cryogenic fluid delivery system includes a main tank system with a main tank adapted to contain a first supply of cryogenic liquid, and reserve tank system with reserve tank adapted to contain a second supply of cryogenic liquid. A pressure building circuit is adapted to delivery vapor to the head space of the main tank to build pressure in the main tank and a fuel delivery line supplies cryogenic fuel from either the main tank or the reserve tank to a use device. The reserve tank stores saturated cryogenic fuel that is delivered to the use device via the fuel delivery line while the cryogenic liquid in the main tank is being saturated. The fluid delivery system automatically switches to delivering cryogenic fuel from the main tank to the use device via the fuel delivery line upon saturation of the cryogenic liquid in the main tank.

A frangible closure coupling is used with or on pipe of a tank that contains a potentially dangerous fluid, such as liquid natural gas. The closure coupling mitigates the uncontrolled release of fluid from the tank in the event of a rupture of a pipe attached to the tank.

A liquefied gas storage tank according to an embodiment of the present invention may comprise: a tank unit in which liquefied gas is stored; an inner box unit disposed inside the tank unit and installed at the bottom portion of the tank unit; and a pump unit that has an inlet pipe part formed to pass through a lower wall portion of the inner box unit and communicate with the inside of the inner box unit, and suctions the liquefied gas stored in the tank unit through the inlet pipe part, thereby supplying the liquefied gas to the outside.

The invention relates to an intermediate gas store for an electrolysis system, more particularly for low-pressure proton exchange electrolysis, including a storage vessel which has a storage space into which a channel of a gas removal unit leads, via which channel gas produced during the electrolysis can be introduced into the storage space. The storage vessel has a pressure control device, by means of which a pressure setpoint value can be applied to the gas introduced into the storage space. The pressure control device includes a diaphragm and an actuator, the actuator acting on the membrane in such a way that the pressure setpoint value can be established. The invention also relates to an electrolysis system having an intermediate gas store and to a method for operating an electrolysis system.
