A gas supply marine vessel and a refueling facility are described. The gas supply marine vessel includes a hull with an upper deck having an elongated cargo cavity formed therein. Gas interface modules are disposed in the cavity and extend between hull sides, each module having a plurality of fuel vessel docking stations. A plurality of stacked fuel container assemblies are fluidically coupled to the docking stations. A gantry, is movable along the length of the cavity, straddles the cargo cavity between hull sides. An articulating crane is mounted on the gantry and it utilized to move fuel container assemblies to a fuel container depression formed in the deck of a floating refueling facility. The floating refueling facility includes a concave side to facilitate mooring adjacent a shoreline, the concave side forming angled extensions at corners of the deck with a linkspan extending from each of the angled extensions.

A system for retaining a plurality of compressed gas cannisters for fueling a vehicle is provided, the system comprising: a base which includes: a plate including a distal end and a proximal end; a base engagement member at the distal end of the plate; and a first mating member proximate the proximal end; a cassette which includes: a top; a first side; a second side; a front; a back; a bottom to define an interior, the interior for housing the plurality of compressed gas cannisters; at least one fork pocket mounted on one of the top, the bottom or the back, the fork pocket extending from a distal end a distance; a plurality of gas cannister apertures extending between the interior and an ambient environment, wherein the bottom includes a bottom engagement member which extends outward beyond the first side at the distal end; a locking mechanism proximate the distal end; and a second mating member proximate a proximal end, wherein the first mating member and the second mating member are in pivotal engagement in use.

A nozzle device includes: a charging nozzle configured to supply a charging fluid and provided to be connected to a receptacle provided in a subject; a cover member to surround the charging nozzle and the receptacle; and a fluid supply unit to supply an interior of the cover member with an anti-freezing fluid for inhibiting freezing between the charging nozzle and the receptacle, thereby obtaining an advantageous effect of preventing freezing of the receptacle and improving safety and reliability. In addition, the nozzle device may include a hydrophobic coating layer for inhibiting freezing.

A hydrogen storage device is included in a vehicle and is configured to store hydrogen. The hydrogen storage device includes: a plurality of receptacles configured such that a nozzle of the hydrogen filling device is connected thereto; a plurality of hydrogen tanks; a flow path through which hydrogen flows; a solenoid valve located in the flow path; and a control device. The flow path includes an independent first flow path and an independent second flow path. By opening and closing the solenoid valve, the independent first and second flow paths are switched between a state in which they communicate with each other and a state in which they do not communicate with each other. The control device is configured to control the solenoid valve and configured to perform a calculation for determining whether to open or close the solenoid valve, based on a condition of the hydrogen filling device.

Systems and method for controlling wellsite equipment, including pumps and a manifold having a low-pressure (LP) manifold, having LP ports with LP valves, and a high-pressure (HP) manifold, having HP ports with HP valves and bleed ports with bleed valves. The pumps are fluidly coupled with the LP manifold via LP conduits and with the HP manifold via HP conduits. Communication is established between a controller and the LP valves, the HP valves, the bleed valves, the pumps, and sensors for monitoring pressure within the HP conduits. The controller is operable to, with respect to each pump, cause the LP valve to transition to a closed position, cause the HP and/or bleed valve to transition to an open position, and determine that the HP conduit is not pressurized based on the information generated by the sensors.

Systems and apparatus are disclosed relating to smart regulators and smart manifolds for welding-type systems. A smart regulator may be coupled to a fluid tank and provide information regarding the current pressure(s) and/or flow rate to a remote device and/or operator. The remote device may also determine and/or output additional information, such as, for example, remaining fluid and/or remaining time before the fluid runs out or becomes dangerously low. A smart manifold may be configured to work with several different fluid supplies. In this way, an operator may easily mix fluid types, switch between different fluid types, and/or switch between different fluid tanks.

A gas supply system for providing high pressure (HP) gas to a low pressure (LP) gas destination, having a primary HP gas unit and a reserve HP gas unit, which provide regulated lower-pressure gas to a supply manifold, and an LP destination regulator that provides an LP regulated gas supply to a consumption subsystem. A one-way flow valve in fluid communication from the primary HP gas unit to the reserve HP gas unit, ensures that the reserve HP gas unit remains substantially full, even after numerous cycles of depletion and replacement of the primary HP gas unit, during which the HP supply is provided by the reserve HP gas unit, which helps to avoid the risk that the reserve tank pressure and supply might mistakenly, unexpectedly or unintentionally be depleted

Various embodiments provide an end-to-end gaseous fuel transportation solution without using physical pipelines. A virtual pipeline system and methods thereof may involve transportation of gaseous fuels including compressed natural gas (CNG), liquefied natural gas (LNG), and/or adsorbed natural gas (ANG). An exemplary pipeline system may include a gas supply station, a mother station for treating gaseous fuels from the gas supply station, a mobile transport system for receiving and transporting the gaseous fuels, and user site for unloading the gaseous fuels from the mobile transport system. The unloaded gaseous fuels can be further used or distributed.

A device for the inflation of an inflatable life vest, notable in that it includes a storage casing containing at least two cartridges of pressurized gas which are arranged side-by-side and touching one another to form a row, and a release casing comprising at least one striker device that makes it possible, in the event of activation, to puncture each of the said cartridges simultaneously or in succession to release the gas they contain in gaseous form to the outside of the inflation device through at least one orifice made on the release casing, the said storage and release casings being in the overall shape of a flattened hollow parallelepiped and joined together removably and in a manner that is gastight with respect to the gas contained in the said cartridges.
