Abstract
A combustible gas supply unit is for supplying compressed combustible gas to a dispenser. The combustible gas supply unit includes a high pressure gas facility for handling compressed combustible gas, a base plate having the high pressure gas facility installed thereon and a barrier supported by the base plate to surround at least a part of an outer periphery of the high pressure gas facility. A barrier is shaped to surround at least a part of an outer periphery of the high pressure gas facility and includes a part to be supported by a base plate having the high pressure gas facility installed thereon.
Claims9
A combustible gas supply unit for supplying compressed combustible gas to a dispenser, comprising:
- a high pressure gas facility for handling compressed combustible gas;
- a base plate having the high pressure gas facility installed thereon;
- and
- a barrier that is directly or indirectly supported by the base plate to surround at least a part of an outer periphery of the high pressure gas facility;
- wherein
- the high pressure gas facility is housed in a unit body of a housing structure,
- the barrier includes a part extending further upward than an upper surface of the unit body or further laterally than a side surface of the unit body,
- the barrier is constituted by a plate structured to withstand an impact caused by an explosion of the compressed combustible gas, and
- the barrier is formed of a steel plate.
