A filling apparatus that does not significantly reduce a required pressure immediately after a start of hydrogen filling, and can reliably fill fuel cell vehicles and the like. The filling apparatus (100) of the present invention includes a control unit (10), and the control unit (10) has a function of boosting pressure required from a hydrogen filling apparatus (100) to a rear facility (200) until initial pressure measurement is completed. The control unit (10) may have a function of determining whether or not communication filling is established, and when communication filling is established, setting a pressure higher than an internal pressure of a tank received from a vehicle side by a predetermined pressure (for example, 5 MPa) as a pressure required for the rear facility (200) at an initial stage of filling.
A filling apparatus comprising a control unit, wherein said control unit has a function of boosting pressure required from a hydrogen filling apparatus to a rear facility until initial pressure measurement is completed.
A filling method comprising the steps of determining whether or not initial pressure measurement is completed, and boosting pressure required from a hydrogen filling apparatus to a rear facility until initial pressure measurement is completed.
