Abstract:
An apparatus or system is provided for withdrawing a cryogenic liquid from a container. The liquid may be drawn from the container independent of the orientation of the container. The apparatus includes a conduit having a flexible metallic hose portion and a metallic head. The flexible hose portion has a first end in fluid communication with an outlet portal of the container and a second end to which the head is attached.
Abstract:
In various embodiments, lined underground reservoirs and/or insulated pipeline vessels are utilized for storage of compressed fluid in conjunction with energy storage and recovery systems.
Abstract:
A device includes a pressure regulator comprising a body including a control chamber adapted to connect to a portable pressure vessel filled with compressed CO2 via an inlet coupling, the control chamber having a threaded stepped diameter passageway, a relief valve, and a pressure gauge, a valve, a cap including a hand wheel, and a pressure adjustment assembly including a resilient sealing disk, a disc, a thumbtack member, a fastener for securing the thumbtack member and the sealing disk together, and a spring biased between the sealing disk and the disc; a housing for partially enclosing the pressure regulator with the hand wheel, the pressure gauge, and an outlet coupling being exposed; and a hanging member pivotably secured onto the housing.
Abstract:
An apparatus for safely delivering a hazardous fluid substance to a receiving structure includes first and second supply cylinders containing the fluid substance and each supply cylinder having a supply cylinder release port; a high pressure containment vessel having a vessel wall and being sized to receive and safely enclose the first and second supply cylinders; a high pressure first tube extending from each of the first and second supply cylinders, and in fluid communication with the supply cylinder release ports and extending to and being in fluid communication with a vessel port in the vessel wall; and a vessel valve in fluid communication with each of the first tube for controlling delivery of the fluid substance from the first and second supply cylinders and from the vessel.
Abstract:
A compressed gas bottle handler in which a half ring shaped bearing member is supported by an upper angled plate on a vertical plate and base at a height and at an angle wherein a tilted gas bottle can rest on the longitudinal surface of the bearing plate and is thus tiltable at substantially its mid-point allowing the gas bottle to be moved or positioned at a height above the ground without necessitating lifting the entire weight of the gas bottle.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a gas canister retaining structure for a gas engine-mounted working machine capable of preventing foreign matter such as dust from intruding into a nozzle receiving port. SOLUTION: This gas canister retaining structure 25 has a main cover 91 openable-closable in an opened position P1 for attaching-detaching a cassette gas canister 18 and a closed position P2 for accommodating the cassette gas canister 18, a mouthpiece support section 121 provided inside the main cover 91 and supporting a mouthpiece portion 81 of the cassette gas canister 18 in a state of receiving an injection nozzle 83 of the cassette gas canister 18 in the nozzle receiving port 131, and a shutter member 114 openable-closable in an opened position P5 for opening the nozzle receiving port 131 of the mouthpiece support section 121 and a closed position P6 for closing the nozzle receiving port 131.

Abstract:
A holder (for a gas cylinder) comprises : a) an inlet port connective to the cylinder; b) an outlet port; c) a gas passage extending from the inlet to the outlet port; and one or both of; d) a gas pressure regulating valve in the said gas passage; and/or e) at least one electronic device for sensing, transmitting and/or displaying information relating to the cylinder or its contents. The holder is self-supporting or has means which enables the holder to engage a support but is able to take the full weight of the cylinder. The holder may also include means for opening the cylinder.
