Abstract: A hydraulic compressed air energy storage system includes air and liquid tanks, each of which includes interdependent volumes of liquid and air. Each tank includes dedicated passages through which incoming air may be fed, forcing outflow of liquid, or incoming liquid may be fed, forcing outflow of air. Compressed air tanks are connected to a first group of the air and liquid tanks. The system further includes a pump and a liquid turbine, the liquid turbine being electrically connected to a generator for generating electric power. During charging of the system, liquid is pumped through the first group of air and liquid tanks, and air is expelled from the first group of air and liquid tanks and compressed in the compressed air tanks. During discharging of the system, compressed air is released from the compressed air tanks, and said compressed air pumps liquid through the liquid turbine, thereby generating electricity.

Abstract: A fuel cylinder, such as a high-pressure fluid storage tank, is provided with dual-inlet refilling capabilities. The storage tank may include a main body section with a first domed end portion and a second domed end portion disposed at opposite portions of the main body section. A first inlet assembly and a second inlet assembly are provided at the respective first domed end portion and the second domed end portion. Each inlet assembly is configured to provide fluid communication between a supply of a high-pressure fluid and an interior of the storage tank. Each inlet assembly may include a boss and a tank valve, with each tank valve being in fluid communication with the compressed fluid receptacle. During filling of the storage tank, the high-pressure fluid travels through a compressed fluid receptacle and enters the interior of the storage tank simultaneously through each of the first and second inlet assemblies.

Abstract: Provided is a pressure-resistant container that allows a time required for winding a fiber-reinforced member on both a tubular barrel portion and dome portions of a container body to be shortened. A pressure-resistant container includes: a container body having a tubular barrel portion, and dome portions that are provided integrally on both end portions, respectively, in an axial direction, of the tubular barrel portion; and a fiber-reinforced member that covers an outer surface of the container body. The fiber-reinforced member includes a first fiber sheet that is formed from fibers oriented in one direction, and that has a fiber direction in which the fibers extend such that the fiber direction is tilted relative to the axial direction of the container body at such an angle as to cover both the dome portions, on both sides in the axial direction, of the container body. The first fiber sheet has a sheet body portion formed in a sheet-like shape, and a plurality of protruding portions that are aligned on and protrude from both end portions, in a fiber direction, of the sheet body portion. The sheet body portion is wound along an outer surface of the tubular barrel portion to cover the tubular barrel portion. The protruding portions are wound back along outer surfaces of the dome portions to cover the dome portions.

Abstract: The design and structure of a regulated digital dispense apparatus is exhibited in this disclosure. The MEMS mass flow meter embedded with a Bluetooth communication device and powered by a battery pack is designed to replace the mechanical low pressure gauge in a conventional gas dispense regulator such that the dispensed gas flowrate as well as totalized dispensed gas volume in each session or in consequent sessions can be continuously and precisely registered. The measured data are further relayed to local users via the local display or physical data port as well as via a paired smart device running a customized APP that can further relay the data to a designated cloud for cloud data processing, and the data can be streamed reversely. This disclosure shall assist and realize the ultimate optimized management for the users, distributors and/or gas manufacturers in the gas dispensing industry.
