==METHODS, APPARATUS, SYSTEMS, AND ARTICLES OF MANUFACTURE TO PRODUCE CRYO-COMPRESSED HYDROGEN - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17961326 titled 'METHODS, APPARATUS, SYSTEMS, AND ARTICLES OF MANUFACTURE TO PRODUCE CRYO-COMPRESSED HYDROGEN

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes a patent application for a system to produce cryo-compressed hydrogen, which involves compressing hydrogen, cooling it, and storing it at specific temperatures.

* The system includes a compressor, at least one heat exchanger, and a conduit for conveying the hydrogen to a storage tank.
* The hydrogen is stored at a temperature less than or equal to a first threshold and greater than a second threshold, defined by specific temperature limits.
* The system aims to produce cryo-compressed hydrogen efficiently and safely.

== Potential Applications ==
The technology could be used in hydrogen fueling stations, hydrogen-powered vehicles, and industrial processes requiring hydrogen storage.

== Problems Solved ==
This technology solves the challenge of efficiently compressing and storing hydrogen at specific temperatures for various applications.

== Benefits ==
The benefits of this technology include improved hydrogen storage efficiency, increased safety in handling cryogenic hydrogen, and potential environmental benefits from using hydrogen as a clean energy source.

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
The technology could be commercialized for use in hydrogen fueling infrastructure, industrial processes requiring hydrogen storage, and research institutions working with cryogenic gases.

== Possible Prior Art ==
One possible prior art could be existing systems for compressing and storing cryogenic gases, such as liquid nitrogen or oxygen systems used in various industries.

=== Unanswered Questions ===

=== How does this technology compare to existing hydrogen compression and storage methods? ===
This article does not provide a direct comparison with existing technologies in the field. 

=== What are the specific temperature thresholds for storing cryo-compressed hydrogen in this system? ===
The abstract mentions the first and second thresholds but does not provide the exact temperature values for these thresholds.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture to produce cryo-compressed hydrogen are disclosed. An example cryo-compressed hydrogen production system includes a compressor to compress an input of hydrogen, at least one heat exchanger to cool the hydrogen, and a conduit to convey the hydrogen at least partially to a storage tank for storage at a temperature less than or equal to a first threshold and greater than a second threshold, the first threshold defined by an upper temperature limit for cryo-compressed hydrogen, the second threshold defined by a hydrogen liquefaction temperature.
