A fuel delivery and storage method is provided. A further aspect employs a remote central controller and/or software instructions which receive sensor data from stationary and bulk fuel storage tanks, portable distribution tanks, and end use tanks. Another aspect of the present system senses and transmits tank or hydrogen fuel characteristics including temperature, pressure, filled volume, contaminants, refilling cycle life and environmental hazards. Still another aspect includes a group of hydrogen fuel tanks which is pre-assembled with sensor, valve, microprocessor and transmitter components, at least some of which are within an insulator.

A high-pressure hydrogen tank includes a metal circular cylinder configured to store high-pressure hydrogen therein, a cap part configured to cover each of opposite end portions of the metal circular cylinder, an outer cylinder surrounding an outer periphery of a circular-cylindrical portion of the metal circular cylinder, and a fastening part configured to fix the cap part to the outer cylinder.

A floating structure including a sealed and thermally insulated tank. An upper bearing wall bears a turret-like cargo tank dome intended for the passage of cargo handling equipment. The turret-like cargo tank dome with an internal fluidtight wall forming a sheath engaged through the opening in the upper bearing wall and connected in fluidtight manner to the primary sealing membrane of the upper tank wall all around the sheath. Respective primary and secondary venting devices allow gas to be vented respectively from the primary and secondary spaces of the turret-like cargo tank dome. A gas reservoir containing a tracer gas that is non-condensable or that has a condensation temperature below the low temperature of the liquefied gas contained in the tank is connected via a control valve to one of the venting devices that are the primary venting device and the secondary venting device.

A method is provided for verifying integrity of a recirculation valve in a recirculation line of an LNG dispenser. The method includes: closing the recirculation valve and a fill valve in a supply line that supplies LNG; monitoring a mass of the LNG flowing through the recirculation line to ensure that the mass flowing therethrough is less than an acceptable threshold; and aborting any pending sales if the mass of the LNG flowing therethrough is not less than the acceptable threshold. According to another embodiment, a method is provided for verifying integrity of a vent valve in an LNG dispenser. The method includes: closing the vent valve and opening a fill valve in a supply line that supplies LNG; monitoring the pressure of the LNG within the fill hose to ensure that the pressure remains steady; and aborting any pending sales if the pressure does not remain steady.

The disclosure describes a pressure vessel having a first end with a first boss and a cylindrical portion. The vessel includes a liner, a composite shell disposed over the liner, and a first longitudinal vent disposed between the liner and the composite shell. The first longitudinal vent includes an elongated vent defining element and extends at least from the cylindrical portion of the vessel to the first boss.

A fuel gas filling system detects at least one of a pressure of fuel gas supplied from a filling device and a temperature of the fuel gas in a fuel tank of a vehicle and determines whether or not there is a gas state fluctuation in which the pressure or temperature of the fuel gas suddenly changes. The fuel gas filling system executes either one of a first filling control of filling the fuel gas into the vehicle on the basis of at least one of the fuel gas pressure and the fuel gas temperature and a second filling control according to the gas state fluctuation. This system executes the first filling control in normal time and executes the second filling control of filling the fuel gas without using a fuel gas pressure detected by fuel gas state detection unit or the second filling control of filling the fuel gas without using a fuel gas temperature detected by the fuel gas state detection unit when it is determined by gas state fluctuation determination unit that there is the gas state fluctuation.

A tank with an angled indicator assembly is disclosed. A flexible membrane may be connected to an inner wall of a shell of the tank and separates a tank cavity into a first chamber sealed to contain a pressurized gas and a second chamber sealed to contain a pressurized fluid. The tank may include an indicator assembly that includes a coupling connected to an exterior of the shell. A sight cap with a transparent viewing window can operably connect to coupling. The coupling and the sight cap define an internal viewing pocket in fluid communication with the first chamber of the tank cavity. The coupling may connect to the shell at an angle defined by the angle of a longitudinal axis of the coupling relative to a longitudinal axis of the tank.

The present invention provides a foot frame bottom plate type fixed part, a sealed inner lining structure, an underground chamber, belonging to the field of compressed air energy storage technology. The skeleton includes a fixed bottom plate and an umbrella shaped tripod, which is equipped with a connecting part and an umbrella shaped part.
