Abstract: The invention relates to a method for filling a container with gas, gas being inserted into the container under compression. In order to be able to fill the container with a larger amount of gas than before and to reduce gas pressure peaks during filling, it is proposed according to the invention that electrically conducting stretched material is inserted into the container before it is filled with gas. Furthermore, the invention relates to a gas container (1), in particular a high-pressure gas cylinder, for storing gases under pressures exceeding 50 bar, in particular exceeding 200 bar, which contains electrically conducting stretched material (11). With gas containers (1) according to the invention, a higher filling level is achieved than before with a given pressure. Containers with a small wall thickness can be used without a safety risk because of a reduction of gas pressure peaks in the interior of containers.

Abstract: A dry cryogenic shipping container having a removable absorbent assembly is provided. The dry cryogenic shipping container is structured to be a Dewar's flask having a first, outer shell assembly, and second, inner shell assembly disposed within and spaced from the first, outer shell assembly, and a cap. Within the shipping container is an absorbent assembly having a body with a central cavity. The absorbent assembly body is formed by a plurality of removable absorbent assembly elements. That is the absorbent assembly elements are sized to pass through the passage into the space within the shipping container. As such, after use, the absorbent assembly body elements may be removed and the remaining components may be sterilized. After sterilization, new absorbent assembly body elements are inserted into the inner space and the dry cryogenic shipping container is used again.

Abstract: A compressed gas storage system includes a gas tank formed for storing therein compressed gas, a gas discharge path provided in the gas tank, a solenoid valve connected to the gas discharge path and disposed in an interior of the gas tank for controlling the flow of compressed gas that goes out of the gas tank and a control unit to which the solenoid valve is connected. An outer circumferential surface of the solenoid valve is covered with a cover, so that a space defined between the cover and the outer circumferential surface is made to communicate with the gas discharge path to thereby form a gas flow path. A heat transfer fin is formed on an inner circumferential surface of the cover in such a manner as to extend radially inwardly, so as to be brought into contact with the outer circumferential surface of the solenoid valve.

Abstract: A valve with a smart handle including a memory module to log relevant data. A sensor on the handle determines when the valve is open, and this triggers the start of timers and recording of the “open” event in a log in the memory module. When the valve is closed, the sensor triggers stopping of the timers and recording of the “closed” event in the log. The timer information is used to calculate the duration of the time “open” event, and this, together with the actual date and time of the opening and closing of the valve are recorded in the log. Other relevant information, such as cylinder fill date, cylinder I.D. number, batch number, and patient name or account number may also be logged in the memory module. The log of the events and the corresponding dates and times may be used to prepare invoices for billing gas treatments, for inventory control, and for other record-keeping and control functions.

Abstract: A pressure vessel assembly, and method of use, for storing a gas at an elevated pressure. The assembly includes a vessel body having a rigid wall with an inner surface defining a storage chamber and with an inlet allowing the gas to enter the storage chamber. The assembly includes a flexible liner positioned within the storage chamber to be in fluid communication with the inlet to receive any fluid entering the vessel body. The liner is formed of an elastic inner layer contacting the gas and a metallic outer surface. The inflated, unrestrained liner volume is generally at least as large as the chamber volume and more typically, slightly larger. Stored gas contacts the inner surface of the liner and expands the liner from a smaller deflated volume until the outer surface of the liner contacts the wall of the pressure vessel.
