An installation and method for storing liquefied gas, comprising a plurality of separate storage tanks each configured to contain liquefied gas, comprising a cooling circuit provided with a refrigeration device, a withdrawal pipe and a plurality of first injection pipes towards each of the tanks in order to cool the withdrawn fluid flow, the tanks comprising a degassing line, the installation comprising a set of controlled valves situated at least in the cooling circuit, wherein the first tank contains liquid and at least one other tank is empty, containing essentially boil-off gas, that is to say containing little or no liquid, wherein there is cooling of the fluid contained in the first tank, re-injection into the first tank, injection of liquid cooled by the refrigeration device into at least one other empty tank and transfer of boil-off gas generated in the or the other tanks to the first tank

A liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) filling system of a bi-fuel vehicle is provided. The LPG filling system may be configured for reducing the temperature and pressure in an LPG bombe for storing LPG in the case in which the external temperature is very high, e.g. in the hot season, whereby it is possible to easily refill the LPG bombe with LPG. The LPG filling system is configured to cool the inside of an LPG bombe and to reduce the vapor pressure of LPG by supplying some gasoline from a gasoline tank into the LPG bombe using the fact that the temperature of gasoline in the gasoline tank is lower than the temperature of LPG in the LPG bombe, whereby it is possible to easily refill the LPG bombe with LPG even in the case in which the external temperature is very high, e.g. in the hot season.

A method for starting gas delivery from a liquefied gas fuel system includes a fuel tank filled with liquefied gas by a filling procedure and the filling procedure resulting in the pressure in the tank being at least at an operational pressure required by the engine. The method pressure in the tank is controlled by controlling the operation of a pressure build up system including the pressure build up evaporator which is arranged in a conduit leading from the bottom section of the tank to the upper section of the tank. The pressure build up system is controlled by controlling the flow rate of the evaporated gas in the conduit while the heat transfer medium is allowed to flow unconstrained through the pressure build up evaporator.

A bunkering vessel according to the present invention is for loading a liquefied gas to and unloading a liquefied gas from a liquefied gas storage tank of a target, and it includes a bunkering tank storing a liquefied gas; a manifold provided at a bunkering station of the bunkering vessel to flow in a liquefied gas to and flow out a liquefied gas from the bunkering vessel; a liquefied gas transfer line connecting the bunkering tank and the manifold to flow a liquefied gas; and a dry gas supply portion producing a dry gas, and the dry gas supply portion supplies a dry gas to the liquefied gas storage tank through the manifold before loading a liquefied gas to the liquefied gas storage tank to remove moisture inside the liquefied gas storage tank.

Embodiments of the present disclosure may include a partition for a fuel tank. The partition may include a sheet of material extending laterally within an interior mid-region of the fuel tank. The sheet may have a length and a width that are at least substantially equal to a length and a width of the mid-region of the fuel tank, and the sheet may be shaped to conform to an interior perimeter of the mid-region of the fuel tank. The partition may also be configured to substantially divide the fuel tank into an upper interior region located above the partition and a lower interior region located below the partition.

An apparatus, system, and method for temporary fluid commodity transfer stations. A fluid commodity transfer structure can include a base member, a casing, and a fluid commodity transfer system. The fluid commodity transfer system can be configured to dispense a commodity for transloading from opposite sides of the fluid commodity transfer structure. A modular fueling station system can include one or more receptacles operably coupled to a fluid commodity transfer structure to allow a fluid commodity transfer system to utilize each receptacle as a fuel reservoir. The fluid commodity transfer structure can be loaded onto an intermodal transport vehicle, unloaded at a location, deposited at the location, and be operably coupled with one or more receptacles and/or other fluid commodity transfer structures to provide fueling infrastructure for fleet vehicles or allow for the commercial transfer of fluid from one receptable to another as a mobile fluid transfer system.

A device and a method for keeping a liquefied gas store cold having a cryogenic refrigerator, a subcooling circuit having an aspiration end intended to be seated in a liquefied gas store, a heat exchanger exchanging heat between the aspirated subcooling circuit and the refrigerator, the subcooling circuit having at least one injection end configured to inject the fluid cooled in the heat exchanger into the store, the device further including a boil-off gas recovery pipe having an upstream end intended to be connected to the store to recover the boil-off gas, the recovery pipe comprising a downstream end intended to be connected to a consumer, the device having a bypass pipe and a set of valves configured to enable boil-off gas to be transferred from the recovery pipe to the subcooling circuit.

A gas displacement assembly includes a storage container, a pump that pumps a pressurized gas material into the storage container, a cooling chamber that houses a coolant and cools the gas material to a cryogenic temperature, and a coolant line that transports coolant through the cooling chamber to cool the gas material.

A device for storing cryogenic fluid comprising a tank extending in a longitudinal direction and suitable for containing liquefied gas in equilibrium with a gas phase, a device for pressurizing the tank, the pressurization device comprising a pressurized gas generator and a rail for injecting the pressurized gas extending in the longitudinal direction in the upper portion of the tank, the injection rail comprising a plurality of gas outlet orifices spaced apart in the longitudinal direction, characterized in that at least one of the spacing between the orifices, the diameter of the orifices and the number of the orifices is different in the longitudinal direction between a first so end through which the gas enters the rail and an opposite second end of the rail and configured to render the flow rates leaving the orifices of the rail uniform in the longitudinal direction.
