One or more indicators provide an indication of fueling status of a hydrogen powered vehicle. One or more sensors detect temperature and/or other characteristics of the fuel provided to the vehicle and provide an electrical signal to one or more of the indicators to permit an indication of fueling status. The indicators, which may be visual and/or audible, may be positioned on the fueling apparatus and on the vehicle in the vicinity of a fueling receptacle. The indicators may also be positioned elsewhere on the vehicle and may be separate from the vehicle such as on or around a fueling station and/or on separate computerized devices.

A storage tank includes an upper tank having a cylindrical shape and a lower circumferential edge having a contoured shape. A top surface of a tank floor body is in sealing contact with the lower circumferential edge and conforms to the contoured shape. The tank floor body has a saddle shape. An upper cap is joined to an upper circumferential edge of the upper tank. The upper cylindrical tank shell, the tank floor body, and the upper cap form an inner storage volume. The storage tank may also include a lower skirt having a cylindrical shape and an upper circumferential edge having the contoured shape. A bottom surface of the tank body floor is joined to the upper circumferential edge and the lower tank skirt, and the upper tank share a common central axis.

A tank, in particular for a liquid hydrogen reservoir, provided with at least one dome fixed by way of an outer welded joint and having a central portion provided with at least one free end including a first connecting element and at least one dome provided with an open end including a second connecting element, the dome and the central portion being able to be joined together, the first connecting element and the second connecting element being configured to form, when the central portion and the dome are joined together, a protruding tab extending toward the outside of the tank and able to be welded to a protruding end, such a protruding tab making it possible in particular to join together the tank, this being done entirely from the outside of said tank, and to easily mount and dismount the dome, in particular without accessibility issues.

A tank, in particular for a liquid hydrogen reservoir, provided with internal rails for putting an equipment module in place, includes a central portion provided with a wall, and at least one rail and preferably a plurality of rails, each of the rails being integrated in the wall of the central portion of the tank so as to be accessible from inside the tank, such rails allowing easier integration and fastening of a module comprising equipment inside the tank, so as to simplify the manufacture and assembly of the tank.

Apparatus, methods and technologies are described for utilizing a liquid organic hydrogen carrier (LOHC) fueling station to supply fresh or hydrogen laden LOHC and to recover spent or hydrogen depleted LOHC liquid fuels from mobile vehicles and tanker trucks to support the use of LOHC as carbon-neutral hydrogen fuels to power vehicles, to generate and store electricity, to generate and capture hydrogen, and to replace the use of conventional hydrocarbon fuels while maintaining an overall carbon-neutral balance with respect to the environment. The disclosure includes apparatus, methods and technologies to resupply a modular LOHC fueling station, to store, dispense and recover LOHC fuels, and to transfer the LOHC liquid fuels while balancing displaced vapors to maintain an overall carbon-neutral environmental footprint.

The present invention relates to a remote propane-monitoring device primarily comprised of a body with a front surface further comprised of a display and at least one button, a retaining clip and a mobile application. In the preferred embodiment, the body is generally rectangular and is made from a rigid, water-resistant/water-proof, weather-resistant plastic. The body further has a clip assembly that allows the device to attach to a propane gauge of a propane tank and a piping/tubing that attaches to the tank. The device is further comprised of an internal pressure gauge that reads the pressure of the propane gas being pushed out from the tank to determine the level of propane gas left in the tank and relay said information to the mobile application.

A storage system for storing a cryogenic medium, in particular, for storing hydrogen. The storage system includes storage container for receiving the cryogenic medium, at least one pipe projecting from outside the storage container into the storage container, and a shut-off valve in fluidic communication with the at least one pipe. The at least one pipe is closed at an end thereof facing away from the storage container and is open at another end thereof located in the storage container. The shut-off valve is moveable between an open operating state in which an inner space of the at least one pipe is in fluidic communication with an inner space of the storage container, and a closed operating state in which the inner space of the at least pipe is not in fluidic communication with the inner space of the storage container.

A vaporizer for vaporizing a liquefied gas includes a first heat exchanger block having first and second linear conduits extending therethrough, a second heat exchanger block having first and second linear conduits extending therethrough, one or more heaters located between the first and second heat exchanger blocks, and an inlet capacity control valve. The heat exchanger blocks may be fabricated by extruding aluminum. The heaters may be independently powered. At least a portion of the inlet capacity control valve may be located within one of the conduits.

A dynamic control valve assembly for use in filling a liquid carbon dioxide storage and gas delivery system is provided, the assembly comprising: a valve body; an end nut with an inlet port for receiving liquid carbon dioxide; a chamber; an inlet cavity; a liquid port; a gas port; and a dynamic compound valve stem assembly for blocking the gas port while liquid carbon dioxide is delivered through the inlet port and allowing the liquid carbon dioxide to flow through the liquid port for storage in a liquid cylinder, and open the gas port and block the inlet port in order to allow carbon dioxide gasses from boiling liquid carbon dioxide within the liquid cylinder to pass through the gas port for storage in a gas cylinder until system pressure and temperature equilibrium is reached. The dynamic compound valve stem assembly comprises: a stem body having an inlet port poppet and a gas port poppet; an inlet cavity collar; and in some embodiments a collar biasing spring. The compound valve assembly is adapted to block the inlet port upon completion of the delivery of liquid carbon to the system when the system has an initial low pressure. The carbon dioxide gas may then be drawn from the gas cylinder for use in use in carbonated beverages and other applications such as agricultural and medical uses.

A storage vessel to contain reagent material. The storage vessel includes a vessel with a bottom, a top, an outlet at the top, sidewalls extending from the bottom to the top, a valve at the outlet, and an interior defined by the bottom, the top, and the sidewalls, the interior including a volume, and an extension tube having a first end engaged with the valve and a second end located toward a center of the interior volume from the first end such that, regardless of orientation of the vessel, the second end is above at least 25 percent of a volume of the interior volume.
