The holder has a hard shell and an inner layer, wherein at least regions of the inner layer, when installed, are arranged between the hard shell and the connecting element. The hard shell has a higher rigidity than the inner layer.

An apparatus for fastening a pair of gas vessels includes: a plurality of first units formed of a composite material, spaced apart from each other in parallel with each other in a length direction of the gas vessel, and having the pair of gas vessels seated on both sides thereof; a second unit formed of a composite material and extending in the length direction of the gas vessels to integrally connect the plurality of first units; and a plurality of fastening units each of which extending along a circumference of the gas vessels to enclose the gas vessels seated on the first units and having both ends connected to the first units.

A storage tank includes a frame, tank assembly, and scrubber system. The tank assembly including a vessel supported by the frame and having a first end, a second end, and a sidewall extending from the first end to the second end. The vessel further has a top, a bottom, at least one side, an internal surface, and an outlet fluidly coupled with the bottom. A scrubber tank is supported by the frame and fluidly connected to the a top of the vessel to receive vapors from the vessel in a way that when a vapor absorption material is disposed in the scrubber tank, the vapors pass into the vapor absorption material.

A mobile liquid hydrogen refueling station which has capabilities of carrying a liquid hydrogen tank assembly securely and loading or unloading the liquid hydrogen tank assembly from the vehicle to the ground, and vice versa, and a liquid hydrogen tank assembly with wheels, so that it can be moved to right next the boat for refueling on top of the shipping dock.

A modular support system for a self-contained breathing apparatus, comprising: a support for a self-contained breathing apparatus, the support comprising a cylinder mount and a component mount, wherein the cylinder mount is for mounting a single cylinder of compressed gas to the support in a single cylinder configuration of the modular support system; and wherein the component mount is for mounting a functional component for the self-contained breathing apparatus in the single cylinder configuration; the system further comprising an adaptor bracket for mounting an assembly of multiple cylinders to the support in a multiple cylinder pack configuration; wherein the adaptor bracket has mount portions configured to be mounted to the component mount and the cylinder mount. There is also disclosed an adaptor bracket and a method of converting a single-cylinder support.

A holder for compressed gas cartridges may consist of a geometric body with a plurality of elongated cylindrical holes, each hole may be adapted to removably engage the neck portion of a standard compressed gas cartridge. When the neck portion of a standard compressed gas cartridge is inserted into the elongated cylindrical hole in the geometric body, the compressed gas cartridge may be securely but removably attached to the geometric body. The angle and orientation of the compressed gas cartridges may form a support structure for the geometric body.

There is provided a high pressure container including a plurality of container bodies, each of the container bodies housing a fluid in a huh pressure state and being able to release the fluid through a release portion, (ii) opening section that is linked to the container bodies, and that opens at or above a predetermined opening temperature to release the fluid inside the container bodies, and (iii) a cover member that straddles the plurality of container bodies, that covers at least a portion of the plurality of container bodies, that is able to withstand a temperature of no less than the opening temperature, that is linked to the opening section, and that is capable of transmitting heat to the opening section.

A self-contained breathing apparatus includes at least one air tank having a regulator, and a back plate configured to removably receive the air tank. The back plate has a plate having a tank engagement surface for engaging at least a portion of an air tank, a receiving cradle on the plate configured to receive the regulator of an air tank, and a locking mechanism associated with the cradle and/or the plate for releasably locking the regulator and/or the cradle relative to the plate. The locking mechanism has at least one locking member configured to move between a first locked position, wherein the locking member engages the regulator and/or cradle to restrict removal of the regulator and/or the receiving cradle from the plate, and a second unlocked position, wherein the locking member disengages from the regulator and/or the cradle to permit removal of the regulator and/or the cradle from the plate.

A grilling device and method for operating a grilling device. The grilling device comprises a grill housing, a gas-operated heating element, and a connecting element which can be connected to a fuel container. The gas-operated heating element is connected to the connecting element by means of a connecting conduit, wherein the connecting conduit has a fuel withdrawal portion adapted to carry fuel in a liquid form and an expansion portion adapted to carry the fuel in a gaseous state. The fuel withdrawal portion is connected to the connecting element upstream in the flow direction of the fuel and opens into the expansion portion downstream in the flow direction.
