GAS FILLING SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18295876 titled 'GAS FILLING SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The gas filling system described in the patent application includes a receiver, flow rate control device, pressure sensor, and a controller.
- The receiver receives temperature data from a temperature sensor in a high pressure container.
- The flow rate control device regulates the flow rate of gas for filling.
- The pressure sensor measures the pressure of the gas for filling.
- The controller manages the flow rate control device to fill the high pressure container at a preset first pressure rise rate until it reaches a preset first target filling rate.
- The controller then adjusts the flow rate control device to fill the high pressure container at a preset second pressure rise rate, which is lower than the first rate, until it reaches a preset second target filling rate higher than the first target filling rate.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Gas filling systems for various industries such as automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing.
- Gas storage and distribution systems in research facilities or laboratories.
- Gas filling systems for medical applications such as oxygen tanks or anesthesia machines.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Ensures controlled and efficient filling of high pressure containers.
- Prevents overfilling or underfilling of gas in the containers.
- Allows for precise adjustment of filling rates based on target levels.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved safety by preventing overpressure situations in high pressure containers.
- Enhanced efficiency and accuracy in gas filling processes.
- Cost savings through optimized gas usage and reduced wastage.
Original Abstract Submitted
A gas filling system includes a receiver that receives a temperature in a high pressure container measured by a temperature sensor by communication, and a flow rate control device that controls a flow rate of gas for filling, a pressure sensor that measures a pressure of gas for filling, and a controller. The controller controls the flow rate control device such that the high pressure container is filled with the gas at a preset first pressure rise rate, until a filling rate of the high pressure container reaches a preset first target filling rate, and the high pressure container is filled with the gas at a preset second pressure rise rate lower than the first pressure rise rate, until the filling rate of the high pressure container reaches, from the first target filling rate, a preset second target filling rate higher than the first target filling rate.
