Abstract: A method and system for determining a momentary boil-off rate for a storage tank for a natural gas in liquid phase and gas phase. A mass flow from the gas phase of the natural gas at an discharge pipeline of the storage tank and a mass flow into the liquid phase of the natural gas at an loading/discharge pipeline of the storage tank is determined. A volume, a temperature and a pressure of the gas phase of the natural gas is measured. A dynamical model is applied to the determined values to determine the momentary boil-off rate.

Abstract: A hydrogen filling apparatus fills a hydrogen tank, for example, mounted on a fuel cell vehicle with hydrogen stored in a hydrogen storage tank. After the hydrogen tank has started to be filled with hydrogen in a hydrogen filling process, the hydrogen filling process is stopped for a predetermined time, and a temperature and a pressure in the hydrogen tank are detected while the hydrogen filling process is being stopped. Thereafter, a time needed to fill the hydrogen tank with a predetermined amount of hydrogen is calculated based on detected values of the temperature and the pressure, and the calculated time is displayed on a display unit.
