Abstract: A system for hydrogen dispensation can include: a hydrogen collector; a cryo-compressed buffer storage system; and a hydrogen dispenser. The system functions to facilitate hydrogen fueling/dispensation (e.g., rapid dispensation) while additionally utilizing hydrogen storage in a cryo-compressed hydrogen state. The system and/or method may be implemented in any general use case that requires hydrogen storage and/or hydrogen refueling.

Abstract: The system can include: a heat exchanger, a set of valves, a sensor suite, and a controller The system can optionally include or be used with a catalyst, a set of barriers, and/or an enclosure. However, the system can additionally or alternatively include any other suitable set of components. The system functions to facilitate cooling of a pressurized fluid (e.g., high pressure hydrogen gas). Additionally or alternatively, the system can function to catalyze fluid state change (e.g., hydrogen spin conversion, etc.) within the pressurized fluid. For example, the system can be used to convert hydrogen from a high-pressure gaseous hydrogen (GH2) state or high-pressure supercritical hydrogen (ScH2) state to the cryo-compressed hydrogen (CcH2) state without hydrogen liquefaction (fluid state transition to liquid hydrogen, LH2).

Abstract: The pressure vessel system can include a pressure vessel and an optional jacket. However, the system 100 can additionally or alternatively include any other suitable set of components. The pressure vessel can include a liner, an optional composite overwrap, and/or any other suitable components. For example, the pressure vessel can be a composite overwrapped pressure vessel (COPV) with a metallic liner (e.g., alloyed aluminum). The pressure vessel system can function to store fluid (e.g., cryo-compressed hydrogen) within an interior chamber.

Abstract: A system and method for operation for cryo-compressed hydrogen storage can include: an inner pressure vessel that includes an inner liner with a defined inner volume configured for para to ortho conversion of gaseous hydrogen before venting; an insulation layer, situated outside the inner pressure vessel; an outer wall; and a support structure situated between the inner pressure vessel and the outer wall.

Abstract: In one aspect, an insert including a single metal or alloy compatible with cryo-compressed tanks is disclosed. In one embodiment, the insert contains one, two, or more tubes that extend into the inner storage volume of the tank. The insert may be integrally formed with the tubes. The tubes enable the entrance and exit of hydrogen to the inner storage volume. In one embodiment, the tank includes a boss suitable to accept the insert. The boss and the insert may be the same metal. The insert may minimize the number of welds suitable for use in on-board heavy duty storage applications. Overall, this type of insert decreases the probability of hydrogen leaks, reduces the cost of the insert as only one piece is required, and leads to faster manufacturing as fewer welds are required.
