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.

Device for supplying pressurized fluid, including a first valve accommodating an internal fluid circuit, the device having a second valve having an internal circuit, the second valve forming a separate physical entity from the first valve, the first valve and the second valve having respective coupling members that form a male/female quick-connection system for removably connecting the second valve to the first valve, the internal circuits including a set of control valves for allowing or preventing the flow of the fluid towards an outlet of the device when the second valve is coupled to the first valve via the quick-connection system.

A cryogenic full containment storage tank for realizing a low-liquid-level material extraction function by using a pump column, comprising an inner tank, an outer tank, a pump column, a submersible pump and a material pre-extraction device; wherein the material pre-extraction device comprises a cofferdam, a Venturi mixer, a backflow pipe, a return control valve, a lead-out pipeline and a liquid level detection system. The cryogenic full containment storage tank can make use of a low-temperature medium flowing back from the pump column to extract the low liquid level material outside the cofferdam into the cofferdam to form a local high liquid level and maintain the normal operation of the submersible pump.

A high pressure tank includes: a container body including dome parts; a reinforcement layer provided on an outer surface of the container body and including fiber-reinforced resin; and a protective member provided on an outer surface of the reinforcement layer, wherein the protective member includes a first layer disposed at the outer surface of the reinforcement layer that covers at least a part of the dome parts, and a second layer disposed outward of the first layer. The first layer is more deformable due to the same load applied from the outside than the second layer is.

The present disclosure discloses a high-pressure gas storage and supply device. The disclosed high-pressure gas storage and supply device includes a plurality of gas storage tanks that store a high-pressure gas therein and selectively discharge the stored gas, and a gas transport pipe including tank inlet/outlet lines respectively connected to the plurality of gas storage tanks to fill the gas in the gas storage tanks or discharge the gas stored in the gas storage tanks. Thus, in the present disclosure, the gas may be filled in or discharged from the gas storage tanks by the same one tank inlet/outlet line, and thus a structure for filling or discharging the high-pressure gas can be simplified.

A valve assembly, comprising: a valve housing body extending along a longitudinal axis X between a first end and a second end and defining a cylindrical passage therethough from the first to the second end; a fluid inlet at the first end for receiving a pressurized fluid; and a fluid outlet provided in between the first and second end of the housing body; and a piston provided in said cylindrical passage, said piston being axially movable between a first position wherein said fluid outlet is blocked by said piston such that the piston blocks the flow of fluid from the inlet to the outlet, and a second position wherein said outlet is not blocked by said piston and a fluid flow path is formed from the inlet to the outlet.

An apparatus for mounting a fluid cryogen injection nozzle to the exterior surface of a side wall of a cryogenic process vessel for permitting injection of a fluid cryogen into the interior of the cryogenic process vessel, the mounting apparatus including a base member and a rotatable insert member engaged with the base member, the rotatable insert member including a template for creating an opening in the side wall of the process vessel that is configured to accept the cryogen injection nozzle, and for attaching mechanical fasteners to the side wall of the process vessel in a defined pattern, such as a concentric pattern about the opening in the side wall of the cryogenic process vessel. A related mounting method is also provided.

A liquefied fuel cryogenic tank has an inner jacket delimiting a fluid storage volume and an outer jacket disposed around the inner jacket with a vacuum thermal insulation gap therebetween. A withdrawal circuit has an assembly of one or more valves and a withdrawal line that has a first heating heat exchanger located outside the inner jacket and a second heating heat exchanger located inside the inner jacket. Fluid flows through the withdrawal line via the first heat exchanger and then the second heat exchanger or via the first heat exchanger without entering the second heat exchanger.

A pressure vessel system for a vehicle includes a pressure vessel and a fuel line. The system also includes a blocking unit which, in an inoperative state, prevents fuel from passing out of the pressure vessel into the fuel line. A control unit for the blocking unit is designed, under the action of electrical energy, to transfer the blocking unit from the inoperative state into an active state in which fuel can pass out of the pressure vessel into the fuel line. Furthermore, the system includes an electrically conducting connection to an electrical system of the vehicle via which electrical energy can be provided for controlling the blocking unit. In addition, the system includes an access interface unit via which electrical energy for controlling the blocking unit can be provided from an external energy supply if no electrical energy is available from the electrical system of the vehicle.
