Heat circulation hydrogen storing method using solid state hydrogen storage material
Disclosed is a hydrogen storing method having improved energy efficiency by efficiently reusing heat through a heat circulation structure. Specifically, the hydrogen storing method includes supplying hydrogen by the supply device, compressing hydrogen received from the supply device by a compression device, receiving the hydrogen compressed by the compression device and storing the same in a storage device, and transferring heat generated from the storage device to the compression device, wherein the compression device and the storage device each include solid state hydrogen storage materials that cause an exothermic reaction when hydrogen is stored and an endothermic reaction when hydrogen is released.
Method for delivering a fluid stored in liquefied form to an end user in gaseous form
A system and method is disclosed for storing a fluid in a storage vessel in liquefied form and delivering it in gaseous form to an end user through a supply line. The system comprises a pressure relief circuit for returning the fluid from the supply line to the vessel when predetermined conditions are met. The pressure relief circuit comprises a return line connected to the supply line and the storage vessel, a diversion line to divert the fluid elsewhere and a switching device operable to direct the fluid to either one of the lines, as a function of predetermined conditions.

LIQUEFIED GAS MONITORING SYSTEM
A liquefied gas monitoring system includes: a container containing liquefied gas, which is obtained by liquefaction of single-component gas; a liquid level sensor, which detects liquid level height in the container; and control circuitry, which receives, each time the liquefied gas is fed into the container, an input of an environmental value of the gas. Before the liquefied gas is fed into the container, the control circuitry determines an amount of the liquefied gas previously fed into and still remaining in the container based on the height detected by the liquid level sensor, and stores the determined amount together with the environmental value. After the liquefied gas is fed into the container, the control circuitry determines an amount of the liquefied gas fed at this time based on the height detected by the liquid level sensor, and stores the determined amount of the liquefied gas together with the environmental value.
