  • Publication number: 20170159611
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a pressure control system for a liquid natural gas (LNG) storage tank. The pressure control system comprises a second heat exchanger, comprising a first inlet fluidly coupled with the LNG storage tank and a first outlet fluidly coupled with the LNG storage tank. The pressure control system also comprises a coolant, fluidly coupled with a second inlet of the second heat exchanger. The heat exchanger is configured to transfer energy from the coolant to the LNG from the LNG storage tank to vaporize the LNG into compressed natural gas (CNG). The pressure control system also comprises a first control valve selectively operable to allow LNG to flow from the LNG storage tank to the heat exchanger and to allow CNG to flow from the heat exchanger to the LNG storage tank when a pressure within the LNG storage tank is below a lower pressure threshold.

  • Patent number: 9429094
    Abstract: A module for managing mass flow and dampening pressure pulsations in the supply line of a gaseous fuelled internal combustion engine comprises a hollow body defining an expanded volume that is fluidly connected directly to a pressure sensor and a temperature sensor. The module is placed along the supply line of a gaseous fuel engine between a fuel pressure increasing device and the fuel rail that supplies fuel to the engine. The module can comprise a filter that filters the impurities from the gaseous fuel supplied to the engine and an overpressure protection device that can vent some of the gaseous fuel from the module to protect it from over-pressurization.
