A station and method for refilling a tank or tanks with pressurized gas in which liquefied gas is vaporized in a vaporizer. One portion of the vaporized gas is compressed to produce a compressed gas. Another portion of the vaporized gas is not compressed but instead is fed to a heat exchanger where it is used to cool the compressed gas. The thus-warmed gas is reinjected into a filling line that feeds the liquefied gas to the vaporizer.

Station and method for refilling pressurized gas tanks

The present invention is to provide a hydrogen refueling system capable to cool down the H2 pre-cooling heat exchanger fast enough when a FCV enters the HRS, so that there is no or very minimal waiting time for the customer before starting refueling. A hydrogen refueling system including a cryogenic fluid tank that stores a cryogenic fluid, a dispenser that supplies H2 to a vehicle, including a heat exchanger that cools H2 with the cold and/or cryogenic fluid provided from the cryogenic fluid tank, an inlet line that sends the cold and/or cryogenic fluid to the heat exchanger from the cryogenic fluid tank, an outlet line that collects the cryogenic fluid fed from the heat exchanger, and an injection valve that is provided in the inlet line.

Hydrogen refueling system

The present invention is to provide a hydrogen refueling system capable to cool down the Hpre-cooling heat exchanger fast enough when a FCV enters the HRS, so that there is no or very minimal waiting time for the customer before starting refueling. A hydrogen refueling system includes a chiller including a cooling unit that cools a circulating refrigerant by a cooling medium, a dispenser that supplies Hto a vehicle, including a heat exchanger that cools Hwith the circulating refrigerant provided from the chiller, a circulation line that circulates the circulating refrigerant between the cooling unit and the heat exchanger, a chiller compressor that is provided in the chiller; a cold generation valve that is provided close to an inlet of the heat exchanger in the circulation line.
