MOBILE GAS FILLING PLANT Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: automotive industry. SUBSTANCE: proposed mobile gas filling plant for charging cylinders and vessels with compressed natural contains gas distributing unit and gas cylinder or gas reservoir plant. Gas cylinder or gas reservoir consists of several sections of gas cylinders or reservoirs connected by pipelines with gas distributing unit. Sections of gas cylinder or gas reservoir plant are made subsequently decreasing in capacity starting from first largest capacity section from which charging of cylinders or vessels is started to last, smallest capacity section determined by number of equal capacity cylinder or vessels in each section, with account of number of section, from equation K_n = [N-(n-2)]*K, where K_n is number of equal capacity cylinders or vessels in nth section; N is total number of sections in gas cylinder plant; k is coefficient of multiple increase of number of equal capacity cylinders or vessels in each section, equal to 1, 2, 3,:1; n is ordinal number of section. EFFECT: improved efficiency. 1 dwg
