Title:
PRESSURE POWERED COOLING SYSTEM FOR ENHANCING REFUELING SPEED AND CAPACITY OF ON BOARD HIGH PRESSURE VEHICLE GAS STORAGE TANK
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2012017850
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

To minimize energy loss and increase refueling efficiency in hydrogen refilling systems.

In an apparatus, compression heat of refueling of an on board vehicle tank is evacuated from the interior of the on board tank by a heat absorber within the tank through a radiator external to the tank, and a coolant circulating from a heat absorber within the tank to an external radiator (and/or an associated blower system) is powered by the mechanical energy of the fuel gas as the gas traverses a turbine from a high pressure refuel depot to a low pressure on board tank. The turbine powers a gas cooling system.
