HYDROGEN FILLING METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18315277 titled 'HYDROGEN FILLING METHOD

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of the patent application describes a method for filling a tank with hydrogen. The method involves attaching a filling tank to a filling device and controlling the hydrogen filling process from the filling device to the tank based on a temperature sensor located in a dummy tank.

The method involves attaching a filling tank to a filling device.
The hydrogen filling process is controlled based on a temperature sensor in a dummy tank.

Potential Applications:

This technology can be used in hydrogen fueling stations to efficiently fill hydrogen tanks in vehicles.
It can be applied in industries that require hydrogen storage and transportation, such as chemical manufacturing and power generation.

Problems Solved:

The method solves the problem of accurately controlling the hydrogen filling process by using a temperature sensor in a dummy tank.
It ensures safe and efficient filling of hydrogen tanks by monitoring and adjusting the filling process based on temperature measurements.

Benefits:

The method allows for precise control of the hydrogen filling process, ensuring optimal filling without overfilling or underfilling the tank.
It enhances safety by using a temperature sensor to monitor the filling process and prevent potential hazards.
The technology improves efficiency by automating the filling process, reducing the need for manual intervention and minimizing human error.

Original Abstract Submitted

A method of filling a tank with hydrogen includes: a step of attaching a filling tank to a filling device; and a step of controlling hydrogen filling from the filling device to the filling tank based on a temperature sensor provided in a dummy tank.
