Abstract:
A gas fuel supply apparatus includes: first and second mouthpiece attachment sections (64, 65) capable of detachably attaching thereto mouthpieces (61, 62) of first and second gas containers (14, 15) and provided in communication with each other; and first and second check valves (71, 72) provided in a communication passage (68), communicating between the mouthpiece attachment sections (64, 65), in corresponding relation to the first and second gas containers (14, 15). The first and second check valves (71, 72) prevent a gas fuel, let out from any one of the first and second gas containers, from flowing into the other of the gas containers.
Abstract:
A work vehicle includes an engine driven by gas fuel sealed inside a cassette gas cylinder (21). The cassette gas cylinder is installed in a cylinder mount (25). The cylinder mount comprises a mouthpiece support (42) for supporting a mouthpiece (61) of the cassette gas cylinder (21), and a shutter member (37) swingable about a support shaft (106) provided to the cylinder mount, for opening and closing an opening (65) of the mouthpiece support from above the mouthpiece support.
Abstract:
Die Schutzeinrichtung für Gasbehälter, insbesondere für Gasbehälter von Kraftfahrzeugen, einschließlich Motorräder sowie von Booten hat einen befüll- und entleerbaren Gasbehälter (1) und einen diesen umgebenden Schutzmantel (5) sowie eine zwischen dem Gasbehälter (1) und dem Schutzmantel (5) angeordnete Dämpfungsschicht (6). Der Schutzmantel (5) weist eine in die Dämpfungsschicht (6) hineinragende Öffnung (7) auf. Damit steht der mit der Dämpfungsschicht befüllte Zwischenraum mit der Außenatmosphäre in Verbindung.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to use of a composite material as a fluid barrier under cryogenic conditions, the composite material having: (a) a tensile Young's modulus of less than 50 GPa; and (b) a tensile strain at break of at least 5% at ambient conditions. The present invention further relates to a sandwich and a containment system for a cryogenic fluid comprising the composite material.
Abstract:
A storage vessel for cryogenic liquid having a lower portion for receiving said cryogenic liquid and a vapour space provided thereabove. The vessel comprises a condenser for condensing boil-off vapour by direct heat exchange with cryogenic liquid feed to the vessel. The condenser comprises a packed arrangement of vapour-liquid contact packing that comprises a top end portion and a bottom end portion. At least said top end portion is open to the vapour space to allow entry of boil-off vapour into the arrangement. The bottom end portion is in fluid flow communication with the lower portion of the storage vessel. The vessel further comprises an inlet for providing cryogenic liquid feed to the top end portion of the packed arrangement of vapour-liquid contact packing and an outlet for removing cryogenic liquid from the lower portion of the vessel. One advantage of the invention is that the condenser is open to the vapour space of the storage vessel thereby allowing boil-off vapour to be drawn into the condenser by the condensation action of the vapour.
Abstract:
This invention relates to an integrated apparatus and method for inspection of a container adapted to hold a pressurized gas. The integrated apparatus comprises (i) an imaging device configured to obtain image data corresponding to the container and to transmit the image data to a central station, (ii) a sound detecting device configured to obtain acoustic data corresponding to the container and to transmit the acoustic data to the central station, (iii) optionally an odor detecting device configured to obtain odor data corresponding to the container contents and to transmit the odor data to the central station, (iv) wired or wireless electronic circuits in communication between each device and the central station for transmitting signals, the signals including the data, to the central station, and (v) the central station configured to receive the data transmitted by each device.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a storage system, especially for storing a cryogenic medium. Said storage system comprises a) a storage container (S1) that is suitable for storing a cryogenic medium, b) a supply conduit (1) into the storage container (S1), via which the medium to be stored is delivered to the storage container (S1), c) a liquid withdrawing conduit (3, 4, 5, 6) via which the medium is delivered to a consumer, and d) a cryo compressor (K) that is disposed in the liquid withdrawing conduit (3, 4, 5, 6) and compresses the medium to be delivered to the consumer.
