    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an alternative, cost-effective safety feature for on-board hydrogen storage containers incorporating a fill cycle sensor with a driver warning and shutdown system. The system monitors the number of times a hydrogen container is filled, and then takes action at a predetermined termination point. A controller monitors each time the hydrogen container is filled above 90% of the rated pressure or mass. Once the predetermined termination point of fill cycles is reached, the disclosed device/method will either disable the valve or refueling mechanism such that fuel supply to the vehicle is shutoff and the container cannot be filled again, essentially assuring the end of the life of the container.

    Abstract: Devices and methods for storing hydrogen fuels or other gaseous fuels (e.g. hydrogen). One embodiment of a container (20) for storing gaseous fuels in accordance with an aspect of the invention comprises a high-pressure vessel (22) configured to contain the gas in a high-pressure zone at a pressure significantly above atmospheric pressure (e.g. 300-10,000 psi). The container (20) can also include a storing medium (40) in the vessel (22) and an inlet/outlet line (50) extending through the vessel (22). The storing medium (40) can have a plurality of storage spaces (28) configured to physically bind molecules of the gas to the storing medium (40), and the inlet/outlet line (50) can be a tube (52) extending through the vessel (22) in fluid communication with the storing medium (40). The molecules of the gaseous fuel bind to the storing medium (40), and the pressure in the vessel drives additional molecules of the fuel into vacant spaces within the storing medium . A heater (60) is used to release hydrogen from the medium (40).

    Abstract translation: 用于储存氢燃料或其他气态燃料的装置和方法。 根据本发明的一个方面的用于储存气体燃料的容器的一个实施例包括高压容器,其构造成在高压区域以高于大气压力的压力容纳气体。 容器还可以包括容器中的存储介质和延伸穿过容器的入口/出口管线。 存储介质可以具有多个存储空间,其被配置为将气体的分子物理地结合到存储介质,并且入口/出口管线可以是延伸穿过容器的管道,其与存储介质流体连通。 在操作中,高压容器用气体燃料(例如氢气)加压至显着高于大气压(例如,约3,000-10,000psi)的压力。 气体燃料的分子与存储介质结合,并且容器中的压力驱动气体燃料的附加分子进入存储介质内或容器的其它区域中的空的空间。
