Title: Integrated tube-trailer and stationary ground storage system and method for enhanced pressure consolidation operations for refueling of gaseous fuels

Abstract

An enhanced operating method and an integrated tube-trailers and stationary ground storage system are provided for implementing enhanced pressure consolidation operations for refueling gaseous fuels. The integrated tube-trailers and stationary ground storage system includes gaseous fuel supply tube-trailers and stationary ground storage including at least one or more stationary pressure vessels. A compressor can be supplied by both the stationary ground storage and the tube-trailers. The stationary ground storage can provide higher pressure to the compressor than the tube-trailers, enabling enhanced compressor throughput during refueling operation, and enhanced utilization of tube-trailers payload.

Two-tier tube-trailer pressure consolidation operation method for hydrogen refueling station cost reduction

Journal Article Reddi, Krishna [Argonne National Lab. (ANL), Argonne, IL (United States). Energy Systems Division]; Elgowainy, Amgad [Argonne National Lab. (ANL), Argonne, IL (United States). Energy Systems Division]; Rustagi, Neha [Dept. of Energy (DOE), Washington DC (United States). Fuel Cell Technologies Office (FCTO)]; ... - International Journal of Hydrogen Energy

An operation strategy known as two-tier “pressure consolidation” of delivered tube-trailers (or equivalent supply storage) has been developed to maximize the throughput at gaseous hydrogen refueling stations (HRSs) for fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs). The high capital costs of HRSs and the consequent high investment risk are deterring growth of the infrastructure needed to promote the deployment of FCEVs. Stations supplied by gaseous hydrogen will be necessary for FCEV deployment in both the near and long term. Here, the two-tier pressure consolidation method enhances gaseous HRSs in the following ways: (1) reduces the capital cost compared with conventional stations, asmore » « less

Combined cooling and purification system for nuclear reactor spent fuel pit, refueling cavity, and refueling water storage tank

Patent Corletti, Michael M [New Kensington, PA]; Lau, Louis K [Monroeville, PA]; Schulz, Terry L [Murrysville Boro, PA]

The spent fuel pit of a pressured water reactor (PWR) nuclear power plant has sufficient coolant capacity that a safety rated cooling system is not required. A non-safety rated combined cooling and purification system with redundant branches selectively provides simultaneously cooling and purification for the spent fuel pit, the refueling cavity, and the refueling water storage tank, and transfers coolant from the refueling water storage tank to the refueling cavity without it passing through the reactor core. Skimmers on the suction piping of the combined cooling and purification system eliminate the need for separate skimmer circuits with dedicated pumps.
