Title: Rapid fill compressed gas storage tank

Abstract

A method for rapidly filling a compressed gas storage tank with a moderated temperature rise using a Coanda nozzle to inject the feed gas into the tank and using the Coanda nozzle to direct the feed gas along the inner surface of the storage tank; entraining the stored gas with the feed gas that is flowing under the influence of the Coanda effect to flow along the inner surface of the gas storage tank; and transferring heat from the flowing gas to the external walls of the tank. Also, a compressed gas storage tank for rapid filling with a moderated temperature rise comprising: a gas storage tank and a Coanda nozzle capable of directing feed gas that is injected into the gas storage tank along the inner surface of the gas storage tank.
