Abstract
According to aspects, hydrogen fueling systems and methods are provided, including vehicle-to-vehicle communication techniques, hydrogen cooling techniques and/or hydrogen dispenser control techniques that facilitate improving aspects of a hydrogen fueling station.
Claims24
A hydrogen cooling system comprising:
- a large-volume reservoir for holding coolant;
- a small-capacity refrigeration unit coupled to the large-volume reservoir to reduce a temperature of coolant held in the large-volume reservoir;
- and
- a first heat exchanger configured to thermally couple coolant held by the large-volume reservoir to hydrogen gas flowing through the first heat exchanger via heat exchange with the coolant.

A hydrogen fueling system comprising:
- a first dispenser configured to dispense hydrogen gas via a first nozzle;
- a second dispenser configured to dispense hydrogen gas via a second nozzle;
- a large-volume reservoir for holding coolant;
- a small-capacity refrigeration unit coupled to the large-volume reservoir to reduce a temperature of coolant held by the large-volume reservoir;
- a first heat exchanger coupled to the large-volume reservoir and configured to chill hydrogen gas via heat transfer with coolant held by the large-volume reservoir and provide chilled hydrogen gas to the first dispenser for dispensing via the first nozzle;
- and
- a second heat exchanger coupled to the large-volume reservoir and configured to chill hydrogen gas via heat transfer with coolant held by the large-volume reservoir and provide chilled hydrogen gas to the second dispenser for dispensing via the second nozzle.
