Gas supplying apparatus

A gas supplying apparatus provided in premises of a facility that supplies hydrogen gas, the gas supplying apparatus comprising:

• a compressor that compresses the hydrogen gas;
• a housing that has a compressor space housing the compressor and an exhaust port for discharging air in the compressor space to outside;
• an exhaust duct that guides air in the compressor space to outside of the housing through the exhaust port;
• a refrigerator for cooling the hydrogen gas that is discharged from the compressor and supplied to a dispenser that feeds the hydrogen gas to a tank of a tank mounted device;
• an additional exhaust duct that is provided separately from the exhaust duct and connected to the housing;
• and
• an additional intake duct that is provided separately from an intake duct and connected to the housing, wherein
• the housing includes a perimeter wall surrounding the compressor, and a top wall connected to a top of the perimeter wall,
• the perimeter wall includes access sections that allow an operator to enter inside the perimeter wall,
• the exhaust port is provided on at least one of the perimeter wall and the top wall, the exhaust port being provided at a location higher than the access sections,
• the exhaust duct includes a discharge port for discharging air exhausted from the exhaust port to the outside,
• the discharge port is opened upward in an area overlapping the top wall in an up-and-down direction or opened downward in the area overlapping the top wall in the up-and-down direction,
• the housing includes
• a partitioning wall that partitions a space surrounded by the perimeter wall and the top wall into the compressor space and a refrigerator space in which the refrigerator is housed,
• an additional exhaust port that is provided separately from the exhaust port and for discharging air in the refrigerator space to outside, and
• an additional intake port that is provided separately from an intake port and for taking in ambient air to the refrigerator space,
• the additional exhaust port and the additional intake port are provided on a portion of the top wall, the portion defining the refrigerator space,
• the additional exhaust duct includes an additional discharge port for discharging air exhausted from the additional exhaust port to the outside,
• the additional discharge port is opened upward in the area overlapping the top wall in the up-and-down direction or opened downward in the area overlapping the top wall in the up-and-down direction,
• the additional intake duct includes an additional duct inlet, and
• the additional duct inlet is provided in the area overlapping the top wall in the up-and-down direction.

• a compressor that compresses hydrogen gas;
• a refrigerator for cooling the hydrogen gas that is discharged from the compressor and supplied to a dispenser that feeds the hydrogen gas to a tank of a tank mounted device;
• a housing that includes
• a partitioning wall that partitions a space surrounded by the housing into a compressor space in which the compressor is housed and a refrigerator space in which the refrigerator is housed,
• a top wall on which a first intake port, a first exhaust port, a second intake port, and a second exhaust port are provided, the first intake port being used for taking in ambient air to the compressor space, the first exhaust port being used for discharging air in the compressor space to outside, the second intake port being used for taking in ambient air to the refrigerator space, the second exhaust port being used for discharging air in the refrigerator space to the outside, the second intake port and second exhaust port being provided on a portion of the top wall defining the refrigerator space;
• a first intake duct that guides ambient air into the compressor space through the first intake port;
• a first exhaust duct that guides air in the compressor space to the outside of the housing through the first exhaust port;
• a second intake duct that guides ambient air into the refrigerator space through the second intake port;
• and
• a second exhaust duct that guides air in the refrigerator space to the outside of the housing through the second exhaust port, wherein
• the first exhaust duct includes an air lead-out portion that extends horizontally along a surface of the top wall,
• a compressor fan is disposed in the air lead-out portion so that an airflow generated by the compressor fan flows along the air lead-out portion, and
• the first intake duct, the first exhaust duct, the second intake duct, and the second exhaust duct are each provided not to laterally extend beyond the top wall.
