Vehicle having a storage assembly for storing and dispensing a pressurised gas, and storage assembly for a vehicle
The present disclosure provides a vehicle having a storage assembly for storing and dispensing a pressurized gas. The storage assembly includes a first storage cylinder section and a second storage cylinder section that each have multiple storage cylinders arranged longitudinally parallel to one another in a first layer and at least in a second layer. The storage cylinders are fluidically connected to one another in a meandering manner by a plurality storage cylinder loops. Each of the storage cylinder loops is connected to an axial end of a storage cylinder disposed in the first layer and an axial end of a storage cylinder disposed in the second layer. The storage assembly includes a cross member frictionally connected to the body of the vehicle and arranged in an interstice defined between the first and second storage cylinder sections.
COMPRESSED GAS DELIVERY METHOD
A method of continuously conveying compressed gas to a plurality of vehicles, where the plurality of vehicles includes at least a first vehicle having a higher tank pressure and a second vehicle having a lower tank pressure that are simultaneously seeking compressed gas from the same delivery conduit. The method includes compressing gas using at least one compressor, conveying the compressed gas from the at least one compressor to a backpressure apparatus, conveying a non-bypass fill portion through the backpressure apparatus, diverting a bypass fill portion through a bypass conduit to at least one distributor, conveying the bypass fill portion through the at least one distributor to at least one of the one or more delivery conduits and subsequently to at least the first vehicle, and conveying the non-bypass fill portion through at least one of the one or more the delivery conduits to at least the second vehicle.
APPARATUS FOR FASTENING GAS VESSEL AND MANUFACTURING METHOD OF THE SAME
An apparatus for fastening a pair of gas vessels includes: a plurality of first units formed of a composite material, spaced apart from each other in parallel with each other in a length direction of the gas vessel, and having the pair of gas vessels seated on both sides thereof; a second unit formed of a composite material and extending in the length direction of the gas vessels to integrally connect the plurality of first units; and a plurality of fastening units each of which extending along a circumference of the gas vessels to enclose the gas vessels seated on the first units and having both ends connected to the first units.
Storage tank
A storage tank includes a frame, tank assembly, and scrubber system. The tank assembly including a vessel supported by the frame and having a first end, a second end, and a sidewall extending from the first end to the second end. The vessel further has a top, a bottom, at least one side, an internal surface, and an outlet fluidly coupled with the bottom. A scrubber tank is supported by the frame and fluidly connected to the a top of the vessel to receive vapors from the vessel in a way that when a vapor absorption material is disposed in the scrubber tank, the vapors pass into the vapor absorption material.
SOLVENT DEPRESSURIZATION DEVICES, SYSTEM, AND METHODS
A solvent storage and depressurization system is described. The system allows a volume of solvent to be stored and used at low pressure, thereby providing safety benefits and regulatory simplicity. The system includes an external expansion tank that is located outside of an extraction facility and that contains a solvent. The system also includes an internal storage tank that is located inside of the extraction facility and that provides a solvent supply to a solvent user, such as a phytochemical extraction system. The external and internal tanks are separated and connected via a duplex manifold. The manifold allows gas below a first pressure level to pass from the external expansion tank to the internal storage tank, and allows gas above a second pressure level to pass from the internal storage tank back to the external expansion tank, wherein the second pressure level is greater than the first pressure level.
THERMAL PRESSURE RELIEF DEVICE (TPRD), GAS PRESSURE TANK AND GAS PRESSURE TANK SYSTEM COMPRISING TPRD AND METHOD FOR THERMAL EXCESS PRESSURE PROTECTION
The present disclosure relates to a thermal pressure relief device for gas pressure tanks and/or gas pressure tank systems, comprising: a valve unit which can be fluidically connected to the gas pressure tank and/or the gas pressure tank system and comprises at least one fluid path, by means of which the gas pressure tank and/or the gas pressure tank system can be drained, in particular a gas stored under high pressure in the gas pressure tank and/or the gas pressure tank system can be discharged into an environment, wherein the valve unit comprises a locking element which can be shifted and/or moved between an open position, in which the gas can flow through the fluid path, and a closed position, in which no gas can flow through the fluid path, and a first trigger means configured to shift and/or move, due to heat impact, in particular when reaching a predetermined temperature, the locking element into the open position and/or to enable the locking element to shift and/or move into the open position, wherein the first trigger means is further configured to detect the heat impact at least at one further location of the gas pressure tank and/or the gas pressure tank system, which is not the installation location of the thermal pressure relief device, and/or to detect the heat impact at least at two spatially separated locations and/or areas, in particular of the gas pressure tank and/or the gas pressure tank system.
GAS CONTROL SYSTEM
An apparatus includes a high-pressure tank, a controller, a valve, controlled by the controller, and a heater.
CARTRIDGE FOR STORING A NO/NITROGEN MIXTURE, AND ASSOCIATED GAS DELIVERY INSTALLATION
Disclosed is a cartridge for storing pressurized gas, including a main body with an internal volume for storing a gaseous mixture NO/N.sub.2, and a distribution valve for controlling the output of the gas. The internal volume of the main body is less than 1000 ml. The concentration of NO in the gaseous mixture NO/N.sub.2 is between 15000 and 25000 ppmv. The gas pressure in the internal volume is below 15 bar, measured at 23° C. Installation for delivering gas to a patient, including such a gas cartridge, a NO supply device fed by the gas cartridge, and a medical ventilator feeding a patient circuit which has an inhalation branch fed by the NO supply device. Use for treating patients suffering from pulmonary hypertension or hypoxia.
Knob Cap for High-Pressure Tank
The present invention relates to a knob cap for a high-pressure tank including a coupling groove portion corresponding to a knob of a liner of the high-pressure tank formed in a lower surface of a body; a peripheral wing portion extending outward in a lower end of an outer circumferential surface of the body to be in contact with a surface of the liner; and a thickness conversion portion formed in the outer circumferential surface of the body to change a thickness between a center line and the outer circumferential surface.
