Abstract
A compressed gas delivery vehicle includes a cooling system designed to cool the interior of a gas storage vessel containing adsorbent or absorbent material during filling of the vessel.
Claims9
A vehicle for filling a gas storage tank, comprising:
- a chassis;
- a hydrocarbon fuel tank;
- an internal combustion engine borne by said chassis and being adapted and configured to combust hydrocarbon fuel from said hydrocarbon fuel tank to produce power for propelling said vehicle;
- a radiator comprising a pump, a coolant conduit, and a fan, said radiator pump adapted and configured to pump coolant through or from said radiator coolant conduit, said radiator fan being adapted and configured to blow air at said radiator coolant conduit to remove heat from radiator fluid flowing therethrough;
- a compressed gas tank borne by said chassis and having an outlet valve;
- and
- a cooling system borne by said chassis, said cooling system comprising a pump, a cooling conduit, and a fan, said cooling system pump being adapted and configured to pump coolant through or from said cooling system cooling conduit, said cooling system fan being adapted and configured to blow air at said cooling system cooling conduit to remove heat from coolant flowing therethrough.
