  • Publication number: 20230416074
    Abstract: A tank simulator apparatus includes: a piping flowpath configured to receive a flow of a gas, the piping flowpath defining a buffer volume and including a receptacle for receiving gas flow at an upstream end thereof; a pressure transducer disposed in flow communication with the piping flowpath, the pressure transducer being configured to measure a pressure of the gas and generate a signal representative thereof; a pressure regulator disposed in flow communication with the piping flowpath and configured to maintain the pressure of the gas at a setpoint value; and an electronic controller operably connected to the pressure transducer and the pressure regulator, the electronic controller programmed to feed a time-varying setpoint value to the pressure regulator, the setpoint value following a tank profile representative of a tank having a predetermined volume.

  • Publication number: 20230408032
    Abstract: A flow control panel is configured to control a flow of fuel from a storage bank to a dispenser. The flow control panel includes input and output flow controllers, and input and output ports, each output port coupled to a respective dispenser port. Each output flow controller is coupled to a respective input port and a respective output port, and is configured to enable the flow of fuel from the input port and the output port. A processor is configured to control the input flow controllers and the output flow controllers.

  • Patent number: 11506340
    Abstract: A flow control panel configured to control the flow of fuel from a storage bank to a dispense includes a cold fuel controller, a dispenser port, and a processor. The cold fuel controller is configured to control the flow of cold fuel from a cold fuel line. The dispenser port is in fluid communication with the cold fuel controller. The processor is configured to receive an indication of fuel temperature within a dispenser and activate the cold fuel controller to allow the cold fuel from the cold fuel line to flow to the dispenser port when the indication of fuel temperature within the dispenser exceeds a maximum temperature determined by the dispenser.
