摘要： Aspects disclosed herein provide systems and methods for mixing and dispensing fuel. The method includes flowing cryogenic fuel from a storage tank through a cold portion of a process heat exchanger to a first vaporizer, flowing the cryogenic fuel from the first vaporizer through a warm portion of the process heat exchanger to obtain an intermediate temperature fuel exiting the process heat exchanger, and separating the intermediate temperature fuel into a first stream and a second stream. The method further includes directing the first stream through a second vaporizer to obtain a warm stream, combining the warm stream and the second stream to obtain a target fuel temperature stream, and dispensing the target fuel temperature stream through at least one dispenser.

摘要： A method for mixing and dispensing fuel includes flowing fuel from a tank toward a first flow path and a second flow path and separating the fuel into a first stream and a second stream. The method includes flowing the first stream in the first flow path through a vaporizer to a heat exchanger, flowing the second stream in the second flow path to the heat exchanger, flowing the first stream through a warm portion of the heat exchanger to exchange heat with the second stream, and flowing the second stream through a cold portion of the heat exchanger to exchange heat with the first stream. The method further includes flowing the first stream and the second stream from the heat exchanger to a mixing point, combining the first stream and the second stream to obtain a target stream, and dispensing the target stream through a dispenser.
