Abstract:
The invention relates to a vaporisation device (4) for the cooling of a liquefied gas, said vaporisation device (1) comprising: a vaporisation chamber (14) disposed inside the inner space of a container (2, 19) that is intended to be filled with liquefied gas (3), the vaporisation chamber (14) comprising heat exchange walls (6) allowing the exchange of heat between an inner space inside the vaporisation chamber (14) and a liquefied gas (3) present in the inner space of the container (2, 19); an inlet circuit (5) comprising an intake that opens into the inner space of the container (2, 19) in order to remove a flow of liquefied gas in liquid phase from the container (2, 19) and a head loss member (13) that opens into the inner space of the vaporisation chamber (14) in order to expand the removed gas flow; and an outlet circuit (7) arranged to discharge the removed gas flow in gaseous phase from the vaporisation chamber (14) into a vapour-phase gas usage circuit (8), said outlet circuit (7) comprising a vacuum pump (9) that draws the gas flow into the vaporisation chamber (14), drives same towards the vapour-phase gas usage circuit (8) and maintains an absolute pressure below atmospheric pressure inside the vaporisation chamber (14).
Abstract:
Device for supplying gas under pressure comprising a rack (3) accommodating a plurality of cylinders (8), the rack (3) comprising a bottom (7) and lateral walls (14) connected to the bottom (7) and delimiting a closed enclosure around the cylinders (8), the rack further comprising a perforated roof (15) connected to the upper ends of the lateral walls (14), the device comprising a common tap (10) having an upstream end fluidically connected to the orifice of each of the cylinders (8), the tap (10) having a downstream end connected to a fluidic connector (12) selectively connectable to a member for filling the cylinders (8) with gas and/or drawing off gas, characterized in that the connector (12) is situated in the enclosure adjacent a window (17) formed in a lateral wall (14), the device further comprising a unit (20) for controlling the gas drawn off from the cylinders (8), the control unit (20) accommodating a circuit (123) for controlling the drawn-off gas, the control circuit (123) comprising at least one pressure regulator (23) the outlet of which is selectively connectable (147) to apparatus (47) using the expanded gas coming from the cylinders (8) in the rack, the device further comprising a protective sheath (32) extending between the control unit (20) and the window (17), the sheath (32) accommodating a gas draw-off pipe (33) having an upstream end (36) selectively connectable to the connector (12) of the rack and a downstream end connected to the circuit (123) of the control unit (20).
Abstract:
A cooperating rack structure comprising at least two modules affixed to legs and a method of reduced weight vertical storage of fuel tanks for use in motor vehicles wherein the fuel tanks form a cooperating portion of the rack superstructure.
Abstract:
Methods and systems for modular fuel storage and transportation are provided. In an embodiment, a fuel storage system includes one or more fuel containers each supported by a fuel container support assembly. The fuel storage system may be mounted to a transportation device such as a vehicle or used in a stand-alone fashion. Each support assembly may include a plurality of detachable end support members such as end support members configured to support the end portions of the fuel container and side support members configured to support the body portion of the fuel container. Some of the end support members may include neck grooves such that when the end support members are coupled, the neck grooves form an enclosure around the neck portion of the fuel container. In an embodiment, the support assembly is configured to facilitate release of excess pressure in the fuel container.
Abstract:
A structure of a horizontal type cylindrical double-shell tank (8) mounted on a ship includes: an inner shell (2) storing a liquefied gas; and an outer shell (3) forming a vacuum space between the inner shell (2) and the outer shell (3). A pair of support units (4A, 4B) supporting the inner shell (2) is disposed between the inner shell (2) and the outer shell (3). Each support unit includes: a plurality of cylindrical elements arranged in a circumferential direction of the tank (8) such that an axial direction of each of the cylindrical elements coincides with a radial direction of the tank (8); a plurality of inner members each holding an end portion of a corresponding one of the cylindrical elements at the inner shell (2) side; and a plurality of outer members each holding an end portion of a corresponding one of the cylindrical elements at the outer shell (3) side. Each of the cylindrical elements is made of glass fiber reinforced plastic.
Abstract:
A perforable cartridge for liquefied gas comprising a generally cylindrical casing (1) with a lateral wall (2) and an upper wall (3) having a central perforable portion (5), and a safety device (7) including a check valve (14) biased against the perforable portion (5) by the action of a helical spring (13) carried by a support (9) formed in one piece with an array of rigid radial arms (8) whose radially outer ends (11) are engaged upon said inner annular projection (6) of the lateral wall (2) of the cartridge formed in proximity of the upper wall (3) thereof.
Abstract:
L'invention porte sur un ensemble de distribution de gaz comprenant un récipient de gaz équipé d'un bloc robinet, et un dispositif d'affichage d'informations comprenant un unique écran d'affichage de type écran tactile permettant d'assurer à la fois l'affichage des informations utiles à l'utilisateur et l'entrée d'informations ou de données, ou l'activation ou la désactivation de fonctions dudit dispositif d'affichage d'informations. De préférence, l'écran tactile est agencé au sein d'un logement aménagé dans un capotage de protection agencé autour du bloc robinet. Utilisation d'un tel ensemble de distribution de gaz pour stocker ou distribuer un gaz ou mélange gazeux, notamment gaz ou mélange gazeux médical.
