Patent number: 10065850Abstract: A multiple pump system is disclosed. The multiple pump system may include a fluid tank and a multiple pump vessel connected to the fluid tank. The multiple pump vessel may include at least one first pump and at least one second pump located therein. In addition, the at least one first pump may be configured to dispense a fluid from the fluid tank at a first pressure, and the at least one second pump may be configured to dispense the fluid from the fluid tank at a second pressure. The first pressure may be different from the second pressure, such that the at least one first pump may be configured to dispense liquefied natural gas, and the at least one second pump may be configured to dispense compressed natural gas.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2017Date of Patent: September 4, 2018Assignee: GP STRATEGIES CORPORATIONInventor: Michael Mackey

Patent number: 9695983Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure may include a partition for a fuel tank. The partition may include a sheet of material extending laterally within an interior mid-region of the fuel tank. The sheet may have a length and a width that are at least substantially equal to a length and a width of the mid-region of the fuel tank, and the sheet may be shaped to conform to an interior perimeter of the mid-region of the fuel tank. The partition may also be configured to substantially divide the fuel tank into an upper interior region located above the partition and a lower interior region located below the partition.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2013Date of Patent: July 4, 2017Assignee: GP STRATEGIES CORPORATIONInventors: Michael Mackey, Douglas Sharp

Publication number: 20140217116Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure may include a dispensing system for dispensing a cryogenic fluid. The dispensing system may include a cryogenic fluid dispenser, a pump, and a conduit connecting the pump to the dispenser. The system may also include a processor and a vehicle detection subsystem configured to detect a vehicle. When the vehicle detection subsystem provides to the processor a signal reflecting detection of a vehicle, the processor may initiate a pre-chill operation that prepares at least one of the pump or the dispenser to dispense the cryogenic fluid.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 10, 2014Publication date: August 7, 2014Applicant: GP Strategies CorporationInventor: Michael Mackey
