Abstract
A transport unit for a distributed charging system comprising a charging station transportable by the transport unit, wherein the transport unit comprises a lifting mechanism adapted to lift a fluid exchanger onto a base frame (of the charging system installed on a ground floor.
Claims8
A fluid exchanger comprising:
- a fluid pump integrated in a housing of the fluid exchanger;
- and
- a controller configured to control the fluid pump to change a fluid rate of fluid exchanged between at least one fluid tank of a transport unit and at least one fluid tank connected to a base frame of a distributed charging system,
- wherein the fluid pump is configured and adapted to be connected via one or more tubes to the at least one fluid tank of the transport unit, and
- wherein the fluid pump is configured and adapted to pump, in response to a control signal received from the controller, fluid from the at least one fluid tank of the transport unit into one of the at least one fluid tank connected to the base frame and to pump fluid from the at least one fluid tank connected to the base frame into one of the at least one fluid tank of the transport unit.

- a controller configured to control the fluid pump to change a fluid rate of fluid exchanged between at least one fluid tank of a transport unit and at least one fluid tank connected to a base frame of a distributed charging system;
- and
- a lifting interface unit configured to connect the housing of the fluid exchange to a lifting mechanism of the transport unit to lift the fluid exchanger onto the base frame,
- wherein the fluid pump is configured and adapted to be connected via one or more tubes to the at least one fluid tank of the transport unit,
- wherein the housing of the fluid exchanger further includes fluid ports, in fluid communication with the fluid pump, configured and adapted to provide a connection with fluid ports of the base frame when the fluid exchanger is lifted by the lifting mechanism of the transport unit onto the base frame, and
- wherein the fluid pump is configured and adapted to pump, in response to a control signal received from the controller, fluid from the at least one fluid tank of the transport unit into one of the at least one fluid tank connected to the base frame and to pump fluid from the at least one fluid tank connected to the base frame into one of the at least one fluid tank of the transport unit.
