Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a station and system for supplying fuel for a fuel cell. SOLUTION: The station for distributing liquified natural gas (LNG) and hydrogen to a vehicle has a bulk tank for receiving LNG from a tank truck. The LNG from the bulk tank can be directed to either of an LNG adjusting/ distributing section of the station and a hydrogen producing/distributing section of the station. The latter includes a heat exchanger for heating the LNG and a steam reforming device for producing hydrogen and carbon dioxide from the heated LNG. The hydrogen is compressed, and then stored or distributed to a vehicle receiving power from the fuel cell. The carbon dioxide can be arbitrarily selected, further treated, and stored for future use.

Abstract: Sección (10) de tubería aislada adaptada para unirse a secciones de tubería similares para transportar fluidos que están a temperaturas que se desvían enormemente de la ambiente, que comprende: a) una tubería (12) interna que tiene un par de partes de extremo opuestas, a través de las que pueden fluir los fluidos; b) una tubería (14) externa que tiene un par de partes de extremo opuestas, disponiéndose dicha tubería externa concéntricamente alrededor de la tubería (12) interna; y caracterizada por c) elementos (16, 18) de fuelle que tienen cada uno una parte (26) media acanalada con un par de partes (22, 24) de extremo cilíndricas no acanaladas conectadas directamente a él, estando dichas partes (22, 24) de extremo no acanaladas conectadas directa y selladamente a las partes de extremo de dichas tuberías (12, 14) interna y externa, de manera que se define un espacio (28) anular encerrado entre dichas tuberías (12, 14) interna y externa, desalojándose dicho espacio anular por debajo de la presión atmosférica; y d) material (29, 33) de aislamiento térmico dispuesto en dicho espacio anular.

Abstract: Prefabricated insulated pipe sections are constructed of an inner pipe surrounded by a concentrically-positioned outer pipe. End portions of the inner and outer pipes are joined with bellow members so that an annular space is defined. A portion of the inner pipe is wrapped with layers of insulation material with inert insulating granules positioned between the layers. The annular space is partially evacuated to below atmospheric pressure. Multiple pipe sections may be joined by their inner pipes through brazing or other known methods. The joints and neighboring bellow members on abutting pipe sections are covered by vacuum sleeves that are sealed and provide a vacuum tight joint.

Abstract: Prefabricated insulated pipe sections are constructed of an inner pipe (12) surrounded by a concentrically-positioned outer pipe (14). End portions of the inner and outer pipes are joined with bellow members (16 and 18) so that an annular space (28) is defined. A portion of the inner pipe is wrapped with layers of insulation material (29) with inert insulating granules(33) positioned between the layers. The annular space (28) is partially evacuated to below atmospheric pressure. Multiple pipe sections may be joined by their inner pipes through brazing or other known methods. The joints and neighboring bellow members on abutting pipe sections are covered by clam shells (50) or vacuum sleeves (80) that are sealed and provide a vacuum tight joint.
