A mobile refueling station according to any of the preceding claims, wherein said conduit system comprises at least one sensor unit (10) such as a temperature sensor and/or at least one pressure sensor.
A mobile refueling station according to any of the preceding claims, wherein at least 3, preferably at least 5, most preferably up to 10 individual receiving vessels are simultaneously connectable to sad conduit system.
A mobile refueling station according to any of the preceding claims, wherein at least 10, preferably at least 25, most preferably 50 individual receiving vessels are simultaneously connectable to said conduit system.
A mobile refueling station according to any of the preceding claims, wherein said at least 15 individual receiving vessels are connected to said conduit system via a fueling pipe (18).
A mobile refueling station according to any of the preceding claims, wherein said mobile hydrogen refueling station is configured for, in one cycle, to refuel at least 10 heavy-duty vehicles, preferably at least 20 heavy-duty vehicles, most preferably 30 heavy-duty vehicles.
A mobile refueling station according to any of the preceding claims, wherein said first or second receiving vessels is a receiving vessel of one of the list comprising:
A mobile refueling station according to any of the preceding claims, wherein said mobile hydrogen refueling station is a multiple elements gas container trailer.
A mobile refueling station according to any of the preceding claims, wherein said mobile hydrogen refueling station is skid mounted.
A mobile refueling station according to any of the preceding claims, wherein said controller is configure for pausing refueling of said first receiving vessel before initiating refueling of said second receiving vessel.
A mobile refueling station according to any of the preceding claims, wherein said controller is configure for pausing refueling of said second receiving vessel before resuming refueling of said first receiving vessel.
A mobile refueling station according to any of the preceding claims, wherein said controller is configured for resuming refueling of said first receiving vessel based on temperature of the hydrogen gas inside said first receiving vessel.
A mobile refueling station according to any of the preceding claims, wherein said controller is configured for resuming refueling of said first receiving vessel after expiry of a period of time starting when the refueling of said first receiving vessel is paused.
