A method for dispensing liquefied fuel, the method including: providing a non-petroleum fuel as a liquefied fuel to a storage tank; increasing pressure of the liquefied fuel to a target pressure using a pump disposed within the storage tank, where a first portion of the liquefied fuel is bypassed around or at least partially around a heat exchanger, and a second portion of the liquefied fuel is discharged to the heat exchanger, where the heat exchanger is configured to warm the second portion of the liquefied fuel. A dispenser is provided that incorporates a control system that allows coordinated fueling of one or more vehicles simultaneously, where the heat exchanger uses only the fuel itself without external refrigeration to manage final dispensing temperature and the fueling station does not include a storage subsystem disposed between the pump and the dispenser.

A gas supply system for a high-pressure gas consuming appliance and a low-pressure gas consuming appliance of a floating structure including a tank containing the gas is disclosed. The supply system includes: a first supply circuit and a second supply circuit; a gas return line; and a first heat exchanger and a second heat exchanger configured to carry out a heat exchange between the gas of the first supply circuit and the gas circulating in the return line. The first supply circuit includes an additional pump.

A set (10) for dispensing liquefied gas from a vessel (100) comprises a supporting structure (1), a pump (2) and a conditioning system (4). The supporting structure is designed for maintaining both the pump and the conditioning system inside the vessel when the set is in operation condition for dispensing a flow of liquefied gas. The set allows easy handling, simple fitting to the vessel and easy removal from the vessel because a main part of said set can be handled as a one-block element.

A multi-vessel fluid storage and delivery system is disclosed which is particularly useful in systems having internal combustion engines which use gaseous fuels. The system can deliver gaseous fluids at higher flow rates than that which can be reliably achieved by vapor pressure building circuits alone, and that keeps pressure inside the storage vessel lower so that it reduces fueling time and allows for quick starts thereafter. The system is designed to store gaseous fluid in liquefied form in a plurality of storage vessels including a primary storage vessel fluidly connected to a pump apparatus and one or more server vessels which together with a control system efficiently stores a liquefied gaseous fluid and quickly delivers the fluid as a gas to an end user even when high flow rates are required. The system controls operation of the pump apparatus as a function of the measured fluid pressure, and controls the fluid pressure in a supply line according to predetermined pressure values based upon predetermined system operating conditions.

A hydrogen supplying device includes a liquid hydrogen pump, an evaporator, a pressure chamber configured to be filled with hydrogen gas flowing therein from the evaporator and to supply the filled hydrogen gas to a hydrogen engine, and a pump control unit configured to adjust a discharge flow rate of the liquid hydrogen pump based on both a flow rate of hydrogen to be supplied to the hydrogen engine and an actual pressure in the pressure chamber.

An in-vehicle liquid hydrogen tank includes: an inner tank that stores liquid hydrogen; an outer tank that accommodates the inner tank; and a heat-insulation material that is arranged in a heat-insulation clearance as a clearance between the inner tank and the outer tank and holds the inner tank to be separated from an inner surface of the outer tank. The heat-insulation clearance has: a vacuum area that is not filled with the heat-insulation material; and an area that is filled with the heat-insulation material and thus allows the inner tank to be surface-supported by the heat-insulation material.

Apparatus for supplying natural gas fuel to an ocean-going tanker for the transport of liquefied natural gas (LNG), includes a first line with a compressor (12) having an inlet communicating with an ullage space (4) of at least one LNG storage tank (2) and an outlet communicating with a conduit leading from the compressor to at least one engine (38), and a second line with a forcing vaporiser (24) having an inlet communicating with a liquid storage region (6) of the tank (2), the second line being connected to the first line downstream of the compressor (12) and upstream of the at least one engine (38).

A fuel-filling system of an LPG vehicle is provided. LPG remaining in an LPG bombe is forcibly fed to a fuel injection pipe using a fuel pump and is used to pressurize new LPG, which is injected into the fuel injection pipe, toward the LPG bombe. Thus, the LPG bombe is refilled with new LPG despite warmer weather conditions.

The present disclosure provides an apparatus for transferring a liquid cargo. The apparatus for transferring a liquid cargo according to an embodiment of the inventive concept may include a liquid cargo transfer line connected to a liquid cargo storage tank, a drum connected to the liquid cargo transfer line and providing a space for storing a liquid cargo, and a pressing unit for pressing the liquid cargo storage tank so that the liquid cargo stored in the liquid cargo storage tank is supplied to the drum through the liquid cargo transfer line.
