Abstract: A station for dispensing liquid natural gas (LNG) and hydrogen to vehicles features a bulk tank which receives LNG from a tanker truck. LNG from the bulk tank may be directed to either an LNG conditioning and dispensing portion of the station or a hydrogen production and dispensing portion of the station. The latter includes a heat exchanger for warming the LNG and a steam reformer which produces hydrogen and carbon dioxide from the warmed LNG. The hydrogen is compressed and then either stored or dispensed to a vehicle powered by a fuel cell. The carbon dioxide may optionally be further processed and stored for future use.

Abstract: A dual purpose recirculation valve system for a cryogenic vessel includes a fill line, a delivery line assembly, a recirculation line and a recirculation valve. The cryogenic vessel defines a storage space and includes a pressure monitoring device structured to monitor the pressure in the storage space, as well as an electronic control system structured to receive input from the pressure monitoring device. The fill line is structured to be coupled to a bulk tank, whereby the storage space is filled with a cryogenic fluid. The delivery line assembly has a delivery coupling assembly and the delivery line assembly structured to remove the cryogenic fluid from the storage space and deliver the cryogenic fluid to the delivery coupling assembly. The recirculation line extends between, and is in fluid communication with both, the fill line and the delivery line assembly. The recirculation valve is disposed on the fill line at a location between the recirculation line and the storage space, the recirculation valve structured to close when the cryogenic vessel pressure exceeds a set limit. In this configuration, the recirculation valve acts as both a recirculation valve and as a valve to avert over-pressurization during a fill.

Abstract: A composite pressure vessel includes an endcap with first and second layers. The first layer is a thermoplastic layer and the second layer is a thermoplastic and glass fiber composite layer. A method for making the vessel includes placing commingled thermoplastic and glass fibers in a heated mold to melt the thermoplastic. The molten thermoplastic and the glass fibers are molded into the endcap shape. An outer surface of the pressure vessel is finished in accordance with another aspect of the invention. A pressurizable bladder with an inwardly facing surface is deflated. The outer surface of the vessel is heated to soften the thermoplastic. The pressure vessel is positioned in the bladder so that the inwardly facing surface of the bladder is adjacent to an outer surface of the pressure vessel. The bladder is pressurized to move the bladder inwardly into contact with the adjacent surfaces to each other.

Abstract: A cryogenic liquid stream from a storage tank to be pumped is passed through the heat exchanger located within a phase separator vented to atmosphere and a subsidiary cryogenic stream is divided out of the cryogenic liquid stream and is diverted to the phase separator prior to a pump. Low pressure maintained within the phase separator causes the subsidiary cryogenic stream to boil off and form a liquid fraction that covers the heat exchanger. The liquid fraction, which is at a sufficiently low temperature, subcools the cryogenic stream passing through the heat exchanger. Flow of the subsidiary cryogenic stream is suspended when the height of the liquid fraction reaches a predetermined level and is reestablished when the level falls due to boil off. During periods of suspended flow, flow is temporarily reinitiated to prevent the accumulation of warm liquid and vaporized liquid near or at the inlet to the pump.
