An airline catering trolley includes a mobile cart body, a beverage dispensing system disposed within the cart body, and a computing device mounted to the cart body and operatively connected to the beverage dispensing system. The beverage dispensing system includes a beverage dispenser extending from the cart body. The computing device includes a processor, a memory, an input/output device, and a transceiver, and is configured to receive a first input regarding a beverage to be dispensed through the input/output device, dispense a beverage from the beverage dispenser based on the first input, and communicate service data regarding operation of the airline catering trolley to an aircraft computing system of an aircraft.

A mobile fluid transfer system. The system includes a fluid evacuation system, a fluid refill system, a sensing system and a control system. The fluid evacuation system comprises a first fluid storage container. The fluid refill system comprises a second fluid storage container. The sensing system is coupled to the fluid evacuation system and the fluid refill system. The control system is coupled to the sensing system, the fluid evacuation system and the fluid refill system. The control system is configured to determine an amount of a first fluid in the first fluid storage container based on a first signal from the sensing system, and determine an amount of a second fluid in the second fluid storage container based on a second signal from the sensing system.

A fuel storage and dispensing device that includes one or more storage tanks that are housed in a cabinet. A dispenser is fluidly attached to one or more of the storage tanks through a conduit. The dispenser includes one or more safety features to prevent inadvertent dispensing of fuel and to control the dispensing of the fuel.

A fleet refueling silo tank system gravity feeds fuel through hoses to fleet units without requiring pressurizing pumps. Specialized valves at the fleet unit fuel tanks prevent vapor escape and admit fuel at low, gravity fed pressures. The cylindrical silo tank includes an upper, gravity feed dispensing chamber and a lower reservoir chamber. A fuel pump doubles as means for moving fuel from the reservoir chamber to the dispensing chamber and for refilling the reservoir from fuel delivery trucks. Onboard telemetry transmits fuel consumption and flow rates wirelessly to a control center where operators monitor safety parameters in real time. Stored data may be analyzed to calculate fleet unit maintenance and service intervals. A tractor trailer hauls the silo tank horizontally on roads and highways and includes a gantry and hydraulic lifts to erect the silo tank into vertical operating position supported by a built-in platform.

A distribution station includes a mobile trailer, a pump on the mobile trailer, at least one manifold on the mobile trailer and fluidly connected with the pump, a plurality of reels on the mobile trailer, and at least one fluid storage tank extending under the reels. A plurality of hoses are connected with a different one of the reels. A plurality of valves on the mobile trailer are situated between the at least one manifold and a respective different one of the reels. A plurality of fluid level sensors are associated with a different one of the hoses, and a controller is configured to individually open and close the valves responsive to the fluid level sensors.

A system comprising a plurality of ports is capable of automated, remote detection of conditions indicating that refill is required in one of a plurality of remote tanks and causing refill of the tank via at least one of the plurality of ports. Further, the system includes automated monitoring and supply of a fuel tank.

A method of delivering a fluid to a fluid consuming asset having a fluid tank is disclosed. A first tank is filled with the fluid and is fluidically coupled to a second tank which may be pressurized by a compressor. The second tank is fluidically coupled to a manifold which is in turn coupled to a fluid transporting mechanism. The fluid transporting mechanism is fluidically coupled to a hydraulic connector of a fill cap which is coupled to an opening of the fluid tank. The fluid is directed from the first tank to the second tank, the manifold, the fluid transporting mechanism, the hydraulic connector and into the fluid tank through an outlet of a probe of the fill cap.
