摘要:
A method for filling tanks with pressurized gas via a filling station comprising several storage containers and a fluid circuit for transferring the gas from the containers to the tanks, the circuit comprising a first end to which the containers are linked in parallel and a second end provided with a transfer line intended to be connected to the tank(s) to be filled, the circuit comprising, arranged in series between the first end and the second end, a first isolation valve, a flow or pressure regulation member, and a second isolation valve, the method comprising filling a first tank, characterized in that, on completion of the filling of the first tank and before filling a second tank, the first and second isolation valves are closed to trap a supply of pressurized gas in the circuit between said two valves and in that the supply of gas is used to refill at least one of the containers.

A gas-filling apparatus includes a gas flow passage including an inflow end to which a gas supply source is connectable and an outflow end to which a pressure accumulator is connectable, a compressor, a storage portion, and an operation control portion conducting a first compression filling operation in which a gas supplied from the gas supply source connected to the inflow end is compressed by the compressor to be discharged from the outflow end and a second compression filling operation in which the gas stored in the storage portion is compressed by the compressor to be discharged from the outflow end, the operation control portion conducting the first compression filling operation until a pressure of the gas at the outflow end reaches a predetermined pressure and executing a control for shifting the first compression filling operation to the second compression filling operation when the pressure has reached the predetermined pressure.

A source of compressed air, such as one or more air compressors and/or one or more tanks of compressed air, is used to sequentially fill a plurality of compressed air storage cylinders. A plurality of pressure-sensitive, one way check valves cause the storage cylinders to be automatically filled up, one at a time, in a determined sequence. The outputs of the storage cylinders are connected through a plurality of differential air pressure valves to a fill station, to cause the storage cylinders to fill up individual air breathing tanks, in which the storage cylinders are depleted in a determined sequence, one at a time. By depleting first the first to be filled storage cylinder, first in-first out, the same filling procedure can be used to refill the air storage cylinders.

A transport unit includes a plurality of permanent magnets arranged to provide a magnetic holding field for protecting hyperpolarized gas during storage and/or transport. The permanent magnets are configured in a relatively light weight manner to project a substantially cylindrical magnetic holding field or spherical holding field in space. The magnet arrangements can include primary magnets and field shaping secondary magnets which act to enlarge the region of homogeneity. The permanent magnet arrangement can also be provided with a cylindrical shaped flex sheet magnetically activated to provide the magnetic holding field. The permanent magnet arrangements do not require disassembly to insert or remove one or more containers of hyperpolarized gas in or out of the transport unit.

A fluid pressurization device 10 comprises a pressure container 12 and a first bladder 14, a second bladder 16 and a sheet 18, that are located in the pressure container 12. The bladders 14 and 16 have pipe connectors 32 and 40, respectively, for filling/discharging fluid from the bladders. The bladders 14 and 16 are located in the container 12 adjacent one another, with the bladder 16 being folded in concertina fashion and the sheet 18 being wrapped around the bladder 16 to form a roll surrounding the folded bladder 16. In use, the bladder 14 is filled with a combustible fluid such as oxygen and the bladder 16 is filled with compressed air to a relatively higher pressure than the oxygen in the bladder 14 for pressurizing the oxygen contained therein. As oxygen is delivered from bladder 14, the sheet 18 unravels gradually, allowing the bladder 16 to continue to exert a force on the bladder 14.
摘要:
A compressed-gas tank system has at least two gas vessels, the gas vessels having a base part and a removal part and openings which are assigned to the removal parts. The removal parts of the gas vessels are directly connected to a connecting rail, without any pipelines therebetween. The openings are in communication with a gas passage which runs inside the connecting rail, the connecting rail being assigned a shut-off valve which is common to all the gas vessels. The gas vessels are mechanically connected to a supporting rail, the supporting rail and the connecting rail forming a holding frame for the gas vessels.

A highly reliable digital level sensor assembly is provided to replace optical and capacitance type sensors in high purity chemical delivery systems. The digital level sensor assembly is particularly useful in bulk chemical refill delivery systems for high purity chemicals employing a manifold that ensures contamination free operation and canister change outs with a minimum of valves and tubing.
摘要:
An apparatus and method for distributing a fluid. A fluid distribution device includes a flow chamber comprising an inlet and an outlet, an equalization chamber; and a diaphragm separating the flow chamber and the equalization chamber, wherein a valve positioned in a flow path between the flow chamber inlet and the flow chamber outlet comprises a valve body coupled to the diaphragm.
摘要:
A method of and an apparatus for discharging containers of solubilized gas, e.g. acetylene, in which the gas is initially drawn as a preference stream from one container or group of containers (e.g. conventional acetylene bottles or tanks) and is fed to the consumer. When the pressure in the tank or tanks falls below a predetermined set point value, thereby indicating that the volume flow rate is less than the mean or average flow requirement, a second tank or group of tanks is connected to provide a complementary flow. The second tank or group of tanks supply the total requirement during replacement of the first tank or group and then forms the preference stream while the replacement tank or tanks of the first group provides the complementary stream.
