Safety apparatus (20) for the movement of a plurality of pneumatically interconnected gas bottles (B′) under pressure, the so-called “bottle pack”, comprising:—an internal support structure (21), comprising a plurality of horizontal plates, superimposed vertically, respectively at different levels with respect to the ground, and stably connected to each other,—wherein said support structure (21) supports said plurality of bottles (B′), which contain a pressurised gas and are arranged in juxtaposition to each other on vertical axes, or on horizontal axes and are arranged in juxtaposition to each other on vertical axes, or on horizontal axes,—wherein each bottle (B′) in said plurality of bottles comprises respective pneumatic valve means to intercept the flow of gas,—wherein a first plate (P21), lower and close to the ground, is configured as a support pallet for said plurality of bottles (B) and is raised above the ground by means of the support feet (P211),—wherein said pneumatic valve means of each bottle (B′) of said plurality of bottles are pneumatically connected by means of a sealed pneumatic circuit connecting the pneumatic valve means of all the bottles (B′), to each other and to a pneumatic connector provided for removable connection of a flexible hose, which creates the pneumatic and mechanical connection with respect to an external appliance that uses the gas, respectively carries out filling with gas, of the bottles of said plurality of bottles (B′);—wherein said pneumatic connector of said pneumatic circuit is arranged at a higher level than that of said first plate (P21),—wherein at least said first plate (P21) forms with at least one pair of said support feet (P211) and with the ground at least one slot, having a height sufficient to allow passage of the forks of a fork lift truck for movement of the apparatus (20);—an external cage structure (22), including a plurality of vertical uprights (22.11), arranged around said horizontal plates of said support structure (21) and rigidly connected with respect to said support structure (21). According to the invention, said apparatus (20) comprises:—a vertical interspace (1′), provided between said internal support structure (21) and said external cage structure (22);—screening means (23), vertically mobile within said interspace (I′) and configured like a blind, that:—in a first lowered working position, close said at least one slot between said first plate (P21), said at least one pair of support feet (P211) and the gro

Systems and methods are provided for a combined defuel and priority panel for a fueling station. The defuel and priority panel is configured to defuel a compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicle and direct the defueled gas to fuel other CNG vehicles at the panel fueling and defueling site. The defuel and priority panel is also configured to store defueled gas in defuel storage tanks, which can then be used to later fuel CNG vehicles.

A sensor mounting assembly is configured for use with a vessel arrangement including at least four vessels. The assembly includes first and second elongated frame members, first and second rollers, and first and second sensors. The first sensor is attached to the first elongated frame member and is configured to contact the surface of the first vessel upon actuation in a first direction. The second sensor is attached to the second elongated frame member and is configured to contact the surface of the second vessel upon actuation in a second direction that is substantially orthogonal to the first direction. This disclosure also describes a method of mounting at least six sensors for use with a vessel arrangement including at least four vessels, the vessel arrangement disposed in a container in a two-by-two stacked configuration having a central space.

The present disclosure provides systems and methods for producing a hydrogen storage vessel that is lightweight. The hydrogen storage vessel may comprise an inner body and an outer body structured as concentric rings with a conic interface. The vessel may have four material layers, including a barrier layer, an insulation layer, a fiber knit, and an abrasion layer. The fiber knit may be braided to trap the hydrogen, as the barrier layer may not be completely impermeable. Additionally, the fiber braid may be clamped to the outer body, enabling pressure pushing on the inner body to wedge and seal the storage vessel.
