    摘要: To provide a support structure that can eliminate difficulty of operation due to rigidity of a filling hose and prevent difficulty in removing a filling nozzle from a receptacle after filling. A support structure (100) of the present invention includes a swivel joint (3: the first swivel joint) in a filling hose (2) that connects a filling nozzle (1) and a gas supply pipe of the dispenser (10) (for example, a hydrogen supply pipe), and the swivel joint (3) comprises a nozzle side member (3B) communicating with the filling nozzle (1) side, and a dispenser side member (3A) communicating with the dispenser (10) side, the nozzle side member and the dispenser side member are relatively rotatable, and a high-pressure gas flow path (3AR) formed in the nozzle side member and a high-pressure gas flow path (3BR) formed in the dispenser side member are orthogonal to each other.

    摘要: A gas delivery system intended for use in delivering hydrogen gas from a cryogenic liquid hydrogen storage tank is provided. The gas delivery system has: a cryogenic liquid storage tank; an evaporator; a pressurisable gas reservoir; a valve sub-system including: a multi-outlet valve arrangement having a first valve inlet, a first valve outlet and a second valve outlet; and a multi-inlet valve arrangement having a second valve inlet, a third valve inlet and a third valve outlet; a delivery line connected to the third valve outlet; an evaporator feed line connecting the storage tank and the evaporator inlet; an evaporator dispensing line connecting the evaporator and the first valve inlet; a reservoir feed line connecting the first valve outlet and the reservoir; a reservoir dispensing line connecting the reservoir and the second valve inlet; and a reservoir bypass line connecting the second valve outlet and the third valve inlet. The multi-outlet valve arrangement has: a first state in which the first valve outlet is open, and the second valve outlet is closed; a second state in which the first valve outlet and the second valve outlet are closed; and a third state in which the first valve outlet is closed, and the second valve outlet is open. The multi-inlet valve arrangement has: a fourth state in which the second valve inlet is open, and the third valve inlet is closed; and a fifth state in which the second valve inlet is closed, and the third valve inlet is open. The gas delivery system further comprises a computer-based controller configured to control the valve sub-system to provide: a first operating condition of the gas delivery system in which the multi-outlet valve arrangement is in the first state and the multi-inlet valve arrangement is in the fourth state, the gas reservoir delivers gas to the delivery line via the reservoir dispensing line, and the gas reservoir is concurrently pressurised by gas fed from the evaporator via the reservoir feed line, the reservoir bypass line being closed; a second operating condition of the gas delivery system in which the multi-outlet valve arrangement is in the second state and the multi-inlet valve arrangement is in the fourth state, the gas reservoir delivers gas to the delivery line via the reservoir dispensing line, the reservoir feed line and the reservoir bypass line being closed; and a third operating condition of the gas delivery system in which the multi-outlet valve arrangement is in the third state and the multi-inlet valve arrangement in the fifth state, the evaporator delivers gas to the delivery line via the reservoir bypass line, the reservoir feed line and the reservoir dispensing line being closed.
