A PROCESS FOR FILLING A GAS STORAGE CONTAINER

Номер: WO2012080173A1
Принадлежит:

A gas storage container may be filled with gas under pressure by feeding cryogenic fluid comprising liquefied gas into the container through a first conduit arrangement in a nozzle inserted into a passageway through a fluid flow control unit mounted in an opening in said container; closing the container to the passage of gas into or out of said container; and allowing said cryogenic fluid to become gaseous within the closed container. The invention involves venting displaced air and/or gaseous cryogenic fluid from said container during the feeding step through a second conduit arrangement in the nozzle. In embodiments in which displaced air and/or gaseous cryogenic fluid flows through the second conduit arrangement around a length of the first conduit arrangement, heat transfer from the fluid flow control unit to said cryogenic fluid is suppressed thereby reducing the level of evaporation of the cryogenic fluid in the nozzle during fill.

The disclosed embodiments provide an advantageous solution for utilizing metal plates, such as metal identification plates, to house RFID transponders and to fix the orientation of the RFID transponders to overcame the adverse effects of metal structures distorting the magnetic fields associated with gas cylinders. This fixed orientation combined with a transponder embodying a copper wire antenna wound around a longitudinal axis of a ferrite core and the use of PSK (phase shift keying) modulation allows for adequate reader performance despite the presence of interfering metal structures such as a metal plate used to house an RFID transponder.
