GAS DISPENSING STATION FOR CHARGING VEHICLE CYLINDERS WITH COMPRESSED NATURAL GAS Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: automotive industry. SUBSTANCE: proposed gas dispensing station contains gas carrier with compressorless delivery of gas dispensing column for charging vehicles with gas. Device to regulate and form gas flow of high pressure is provided in gas carrier of gas dispensing column. Said device contains regulator reducing gas pressure to vehicle charging pressure, safety valve, pressure gauge and thermometer. Regulator is connected through flexible hose to each section of gas cylinder plant consisting of cylinders whose strength exceeds strength of vehicle cylinders to be charged at least 1.25 times. Sections are made subsequently decreasing in capacity determined by number of equal capacity cylinders or vessels in each section, with due account of number of sections, from equation K_n = [N-(n-2)]*K, where K_n is number of equal capacity 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: I; n is ordinal number of section. EFFECT: improved efficiency. 1 dwg
