A suction nozzle, which is configured to be interlocked with a gas filler nozzle used to supply a gas to a gas consuming device, comprises a suction port configured to suck moisture inside the gas filler nozzle when the suction nozzle is interlocked with the gas filler nozzle.
摘要:
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.
摘要:
The invention relates to a method and device for filling a tank with pressurized gas, comprising transfer of a predefined amount of a gas into the tank from at least one pressurized gas source via a filling duct, the gas being selectively cooled by a cooling component before it enters into the tank in order to prevent a defined temperature limit from being reached in the tank, characterized in that the method comprises a step of defining the maximum amount of energy that can be added to the tank without exceeding the temperature limit, this maximum amount of energy being expressed in the form of the maximum enthalpy that can be added to the tank, a step of defining the effective amount of energy that will be added to the tank during the transfer of gas into the tank without cooling, expressed in the form of an added enthalpy, cooling of the gas by the cooling component being controlled in order to remove selectively an amount of heat from the gas transferred into the tank corresponding at least to the fraction of the added enthalpy that exceeds the maximum enthalpy.
摘要:
The present invention relates to an improved heat transfer device and process, such as the heat exchanger included in a process for vaporizing cryogenic fluids industrial gas supply systems. The system having a water bath and heat exchange tube bundle disposed therein operating to vaporize and superheat industrial liquefied gases including fuel gases. Water contained in a tank transfers heat to the bundle by natural convection without benefit of forced water circulation. The water is heated by means such as steam, combustion processes or electric heat and a heat exchange tube bundle submerged within the water tank is used to vaporize and superheat liquefied gas, which passes within the tubular elements of the heat exchange bundle. Gas bubble agitation is provided by discharging nitrogen, air or other non-condensing gas into the water via a gas-sparging manifold located below the tube bundle for the purpose of increasing the rate of heat exchange from the heated water to the cooler liquefied gas and increasing the useable energy storage capacity of the water during operation when the heating means is shut off.
摘要:
The method of vaporizing LNG consists in using previously dehumidified ambient air as a direct heat exchange fluid in a first air heat exchanger (5) for heating said LNG to a certain temperature. The dehumidification of the ambient air consists in reducing the temperature of the air in a second air heat exchanger (4) by direct heat exchange with said LNG previously heated in said first heat exchanger (5) at least to said certain temperature, said certain temperature lying approximately in the range −10° C. to −25° C.
摘要:
A process and corresponding apparatus for regasifying a cryogenic liquid to gaseous form includes a process step and suitable structure to transfer heat from ambient air to the cryogenic liquid across a heat transfer surface by circulating the cryogenic liquid or an intermediate fluid through an atmospheric vaporizer, where the ambient air and the cryogenic fluid or intermediate fluid are not in direct contact; and a process step and suitable structure to mechanically scrape an external portion of the heat transfer surface exposed to the atmosphere to remove frost from the external portion of the heat transfer surface, where defrosting is achieved without the need to discontinue circulating the cryogenic fluid or the intermediate fluid through the atmospheric vaporizer.
摘要:
Cryogenic fluid is vaporized using two sections of an ambient air vaporizer where in the first section ambient air is dehydrated at a temperature at or above freezing point of water using refrigeration content of partially heated cryogenic fluid, wherein the dehydrated air is used in the second section to form the partially heated cryogenic fluid from a cryogenic fluid.

摘要:
Liquefied hydrocarbon gas carried by a tanker (78) is transferred to an import terminal (10) where the liquefied gas is heated to vaporize it and to heat the cold gas to at least −30° C. but preferably about 0° C., with the warmed gas transferred to a gas receiving facility (20, 83). Vaporizing and heating is accomplished by using a large number (more than 10) of vertically mounted air vaporizers (84) of a known type, which use environmental air that flows down the exterior of the finned tubes in which the liquefied or cold gas flows. In the present invention a large number of individual vaporizers are positioned in close proximity to each other, i.e. within a distance that is smaller than half the vertical height of the vaporizer tubes. Their close proximity allows many units to be installed on a small plot space, and also affects their thermal performance.
摘要:
A heater for fluid flow components. The heater has heat transfer surfaces that engage the component. The transfer surfaces are mounted on jaws that are movable to engage the component. The jaws have massive portions that act as heat reservoirs to maintain a constant temperature in spite of rapid cooling when gas is allowed to expand freely from the component. The jaws are heated by electrical resistive heating elements that are sealingly mounted within the massive portions. The sealing engagement allows the heater to be used in hazardous environments.
