Abstract
A system and a method for dispensing a liquefied fuel (e.g., hydrogen) are provided. The system includes a cryotank for storing a liquefied fuel, a pump insertable into the cryotank, and a switching valve. The pump has a piston, an intake port, and an isolation valve configured to supply the liquefied fuel to the intake port. The switching valve is controlled to flow the vapor from the pump and the liquefied fuel contacting a backside of the piston to the intake port of the pump. At least one block valve is also connected with the cryotank and the pump. At least one of the switching valve, the at least one block valve, and the isolation valve can be controlled to operate the system in one of three working modes including a pressure increase mode, a pressure maintaining mode, and a pressure decrease mode.
