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 fuel management method for long term stationary truck use is provided. This method includes a truck with at least a first saddle tank or a second saddle tank integral to the truck. Each saddle tank has a fuel level sensor to measure the fuel level. A fuel trailer provides supplemental fuel, and a fuel pump downstream of the fuel trailer and upstream of the truck pressurizes the fuel from the fuel trailer. The method includes supplying fuel to local users from saddle tanks, activating the fuel pump when the fuel level of both the saddle tanks is less than a first predetermined threshold, thereby transferring fuel from the fuel trailer to the first saddle tank and the second saddle tank, deactivating the fuel pump when the fuel level of either the saddle tanks is greater than a second predetermined threshold.

Mobile cryogenic tank for transporting cryogenic fluid, notably liquefied hydrogen or helium, comprising an internal shell intended to contain the cryogenic fluid, an external shell arranged around the internal shell and delimiting a space between the two shells, said space containing a thermal insulator, the first shell having a cylindrical overall shape extending along a central longitudinal axis (A), when the tank is in the configuration for transport and use, the central longitudinal axis (A) being oriented horizontally, the tank comprising a set of temperature sensors measuring the temperature of the fluid in the internal shell, characterized in that the set of temperature sensors is situated on the external face of the internal shell and measure the temperature of said shell, the set of temperature sensors comprising a lower sensor positioned at the lower end of the internal shell situated below the central longitudinal axis (A), the set of temperature sensors further comprising a plurality of intermediate sensors distributed over two lateral faces of the internal shell on each side of the central longitudinal axis (A), the plurality of intermediate sensors being distributed vertically between the lower end of the internal shell situated below the central longitudinal axis (A) and the upper end of the internal shell situated above the central longitudinal axis (A).

Disclosed is a mobile cart including a base for accommodating one or more gas cylinders, castors, a main column extending upwards from the base, a stowage cabinet arranged along the main column, an anchoring structure arranged at an upper end of the main column, a support post carried by the anchoring structure and equipped with fixing unit for a gas delivery apparatus, and a manual gripping handle allowing a user to manipulate the cart. Use of such a mobile cart to transport one or more cylinders of gas, in particular a NO/N2 mixture and/or oxygen, and a gas delivery apparatus.

Provided is an accommodation body that accommodates a raw material including a hydride from which a hydrogen-containing gas is capable of being obtained by subjecting the raw material to a dehydrogenation reaction. The raw material and a dehydrogenation product produced in combination with the hydrogen-containing gas by the dehydrogenation reaction are capable of being loaded together in an internal space.

A method for extracting a liquid phase of a cryogen comprising the liquid phase and a vapour phase from an interior volume of a storage dewar through an extraction means, utilizing a push gas introduced into the vapour phase of the cryogen through an outlet of a supply line provided between a push gas supply and the interior volume of the storage dewar, the supply line partially extending through the liquid phase within the interior volume.

An Automatic Service Station Facility (ASSF) for replenishing various motivational energy sources onboard different types of AUV, Drones, and Remotely Controlled (RC) or robotic vehicles is disclosed herein. In one embodiment, the automatic service station facility includes a rack, replaceable fuel tanks, a service module, and an electronic computer control system. The replaceable fuel tanks are stocked on the rack and substantially filled with various fluids which are utile as motivational energy sources within fuel-operated vehicles. The service module is mounted on the rack, and the electronic computer control system is connected in electrical communication with the service module. In this configuration, the service module is controllably operable to receive a depleted replaceable fuel tank from a fuel-operated vehicle and also selectively deliver one of the filled replaceable fuel tanks onboard the vehicle. In another embodiment, the service station facility may also stock replaceable batteries for selective delivery onboard battery-operated vehicles. In another embodiment, the ASSF is self-propelled, remotely controlled, and solar powered, being able to move long distances to remote locations which may be hazardous to humans, such as disaster zones or battle fields, where the ASSF can service AUV, Drones, and Remotely Controlled (RC) or robotic vehicles needed for the particular applications. Alternatively, the solar powered ASSF can be made to move continuously and service vehicles continuously for long duration operations like herding cattle for example.

A hydrogen filling method for a fuel cell vehicle includes filling a hydrogen tank of the fuel cell vehicle with hydrogen using a hydrogen dispenser by sequentially using a low-pressure storage tank of the fuel cell vehicle, a medium-pressure storage tank of the fuel cell vehicle, and a high-pressure storage tank of the fuel cell vehicle.

A cylinder transport and mounting system is provided. This system includes a object mounting yoke, and at least one bracket selected from the group consisting of a conveyance mounting bracket, and user mounting bracket, wherein the cylinder mounting yoke is configured to attach securely to a cylinder and to detachably interface with the conveyance mounting bracket and/or to detachably interface with the user mounting bracket.

A sampling apparatus includes a pressure-reducing safety unit, which includes a device accommodation chamber that accommodates safety devices and a cylinder connection chamber, and a cylinder unit. The cylinder unit removably accommodates a cylinder, excluding an exposed portion where a front end portion of the cylinder, a mouthpiece, and a cylinder on-off valve are exposed, in an openable/closable casing. The exposed portion of the cylinder is formed so as to be insertable from the open surface portion of the cylinder connection chamber into the cylinder connection chamber, the mouthpiece of the cylinder and a hydrogen outlet of a supply pipe of the device accommodation chamber are connected by using a flexible hose, and thereby a sample of hydrogen gas is taken into the cylinder.
