Abstract
An apparatus and process for fog mitigation can be include a mechanism to reduce fog formation and/or condense the fog into water to avoid fog being formed and moving through a site. Embodiments can be configured to utilize at least one fog collection mechanism positioned adjacent a vaporizer utilized to vaporizer a cryogenic liquid so that fog that may form adjacent the vaporizer is removed from air surrounding the vaporizer and prevented from spreading beyond the vaporizer to other areas of a site having the vaporizer (e.g. a hydrogen fueling station, etc.).
Claims20
An apparatus for fog mitigation, the apparatus comprising:
- at least one fog collection device positionable adjacent to a vaporizer configured to vaporize a cryogenic liquid, the at least one fog collection device configured to collect fog formable adjacent the vaporizer to remove water from the fog for fog mitigation.
An apparatus for fog mitigation, the apparatus comprising:
- a drying system having a dryer positionable to remove water vapor from air to output a stream of dried air for feeding as a heating medium to a vaporizer configured to vaporize a cryogenic liquid.
A process for fog mitigation, comprising:
- positioning at least one fog collection device adjacent to a vaporizer configured to vaporize a cryogenic liquid;
- collecting fog formed via operation of the vaporizer via the at least one fog collection device for fog mitigation.
