METHOD OF FILLING VEHICLES WITH COMPRESSED FUEL GAS Russian patent published in 2002 - IPC

FIELD: transport engineering. SUBSTANCE: proposed method comes to arrival of filling truck to filling site and filling of vehicles with compressed fuel gas means of filling truck with high- pressure vessels separated by shutoff-and-control valves into units of equal volume and furnished with trailer with one or several receiver batteries and charging devices to fill one or two vehicles simultaneously. High-pressure vessels of batteries are divided into two units of equal volume. After arrival of filling truck at service station together with one or several receiver batteries, high-pressure vessel units of vehicle receiver batteries are connected to truck vessel units of volume equal to that of battery units. One vehicle is charged by one high-pressure vessel unit whose shutoff-and- control valves are operated from one group of controls of heated control cab joined with truck cab.
