To provide a method for safely and stably storing a hydrochlorofluoroolefin filled in a container for storage, transportation, etc. A method for storing a hydrochlorofluoroolefin in a sealed storage container, wherein the hydrochlorofluoroolefin is stored in such a state that a gas phase and a liquid phase coexist in the storage container, and the concentration of air in the gas phase in the storage container at a temperature of 25° C. is kept to be at most 3.0 vol %, and a method for storing a hydrochlorofluoroolefin in a sealed storage container, wherein the hydrochlorofluoroolefin is stored in such a state that a gas phase and a liquid phase coexist in the storage container, and the concentration of oxygen in the gas phase in the storage container at a temperature of 25° C. is kept to be at most 0.6 vol %.
Natural gas tank pressure control for transport refrigeration unit
A transport refrigeration system (200) comprising: a vehicle (102) having a refrigerated cargo space (119); a refrigeration unit (22) in operative association with the refrigerated cargo space, the refrigeration unit providing conditioned air to the refrigerated cargo space; a first engine (26) configured to power the refrigeration unit; a plurality of first fuel tanks (330) fluidly connected to the first engine, the plurality of first fuel tanks configured to supply fuel to the first engine, wherein each of the plurality of first fuel tanks includes a lock off valve (450) and a pressure sensor (470) configured to detect a pressure level within each of the first fuel tanks; and one or more engine controllers (54) in electronic communication with each pressure sensor and lock off valve, the one or more engine controllers being configured to adjust at least one of the lock off valves in response to a pressure level detected by at least one of the pressure sensors.
METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR RECOVERING COOLANT GAS IN AN AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM
A method and corresponding system for extracting an unsuitable and/or unknown and/or contaminated coolant gas from an air conditioning system. An existing coolant fluid recovery/charging machine is used in order to extract the heat required to cool said containment element of the coolant to be extracted or extracted.
Liquefied gas unloading and deep evacuation system
A liquefied gas unloading and deep evacuation system may more quickly, more efficiently and more completely unload liquefied gases from transport tanks, such as rail cars, into stationary storage tanks or into truck tanks. The system may utilize a two stage compressor, an electric motor, a variable frequency drive, a four way valve, a three way valve, a two way valve, a programmable logic controller based control system and pressure and temperature transmitters. The valving enables deep evacuation of the transport or supply tank to more completely empty the transport tank. The programmable logic controller and variable speed drive may be used to variably control the speed of the two stage compressor so that the system may be running as fast as possible during changes in ambient temperature and/or different stages of offloading the liquefied gases without exceeding the compressor's horsepower limit.

Thermal Cascade for Cryogenic Storage and Transport of Volatile Gases
A system is described wherein a cryogenic liquid transport fluid is used as in thermal communication with a volatile gas as a second cryogenic liquid. The volatile gas in the liquid state enables transport of additional volatile substances that cannot be transported in the liquid state employing only the cryogenic liquid. The thermal communication between cryogenic liquids is a thermal cascade.
