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.
PROCESS AND METHOD FOR TRANSPORTING LIQUID HYDROCARBON AND CO2 FOR PRODUCING HYDROGEN WITH CO2 CAPTURE
Systems and methods related to loading and unloading stations for simultaneous unloading of a first fluid from at least one storage tank in a vessel and loading of a second fluid into a storage tank of the same vessel are provided. In at least one aspect, a loading and unloading station includes a first connector for fluid connection to a storage tank of the vessel for unloading the first fluid, and a source of the second fluid. The station also includes a second connector for fluidly connecting the source of the second fluid with a storage tank of the vessel for loading the second fluid. The station further includes a first thermal linkage between the first fluid being unloaded and the second fluid being loaded that facilitates heat transfer between the first fluid and the second fluid at the loading and unloading station.
Dewar Vessel Storage Apparatus
A dewar vessel storage apparatus configured to hold at least two dewar vessels containing liquefied gas or cryo-compressed gas, comprising; a box having an outer, thermally insulating, wall; the box comprising a plurality of insulating cavities, each cavity configured to receive a single dewar vessel and is thermally insulated from each other cavity; a thermally insulating closure arrangement configured to close an open end of each cavity; a ventilation assembly comprising at least one conduit within the box configured to provide for venting of gas released from the dewar vessels when stored in the respective cavities of the box, the ventilation assembly configured to provide a gas outlet flow path from each cavity.
Combustible gas supply unit and hydrogen station
A combustible gas supply unit includes a high pressure gas facility for handling combustible gas which is compressed and a housing provided with a high pressure gas handling area containing the high pressure gas facility. The housing has a portion that is disposed in a side close to a boundary between premises of a hydrogen station and an outer region of the premises and constitutes the high pressure gas handling area, the portion being substantially composed of a partitioning wall member that resists an impact of an explosion of combustible gas.
Liquid oxygen storage tank
The invention discloses a liquid oxygen storage tank, which includes an outer tank body, a buffer cavity is provided in the outer tank body, and an insulation tank with an upper end extending outside the buffer cavity is provided in the buffer cavity, and the buffer chamber is provided in the buffer tank. There is a buffer mechanism for reducing the impact force of the tank body. The thermal insulation tank is internally provided with an internal tank body, the internal tank body is provided with a storage cavity, and the upper end of the thermal insulation tank is provided with a control cavity. A driving block is arranged in the cavity. The invention adopts a high-vacuum multi-layer thermal insulation technology to prolong the number of days for holding liquid oxygen, and a heat preservation mechanism makes the storage time of liquid oxygen longer, and it is safer and more convenient to operate. If it is too high, it will start automatically and discharge excess gas to enhance the safety of use. Protect the container from damage. Ordinary personnel can rest assured to use it without the guidance of professionals.
