  • Patent number: 8196617
    Abstract: A vapor recovery system for recovering fuel vapor from a vehicle tank during dispensing of fuel into the vehicle tank. The vapor recovery system comprises a vapor recovery line for transporting fuel vapor, and detecting device for detecting a fuel vapor flow. The detecting device comprises a housing having a vapor inlet and a vapor outlet, a body movably arranged in the housing, and a sensor arranged to detect a location of the body within the housing. The body is configured to move from a first position in the housing to a second position in the housing in dependence of a rate of fuel vapor flow flowing from the vapor inlet to the vapor outlet.

  • Patent number: 7647951
    Abstract: A vapor recovery system recovers fuel vapor and includes a vapor recovery line for transporting a stream of fuel vapor from a vehicle tank. A flow meter is arranged in the vapor recovery line for indicating the flow rate of the stream of fuel vapor, and a heated element is arranged in the vapor recovery line. One or more controllers are configured to: detect a cooling exerted on the heated element by the stream of fuel vapor, determine a correction for the detected cooling by weighting said cooling with the flow rate, and decrease or stop the stream of fuel vapor, if the detected cooling is smaller than a predetermined level.

  • Publication number: 20090032548
    Abstract: A temperature compensating fuel dispenser comprises a fuel-handling compartment, an electronics compartment, a barrier separating said compartments, and at least two fuel lines in the fuel-handling compartment. Each fuel line is provided with a flow meter and a temperature sensor. The fuel dispenser has a compensator device for compensating a flow measured by the flow meters based on a temperature measured by the temperature sensors. A control unit is arranged in the electronics compartment connected to each flow meter by a respective communication line. The means for compensating the measured fuel flow comprises one compensator for each flow meter arranged in the fuel-handling compartment in connection with the respective flow meter. The communication lines are connected between the respective flow meters and the control unit through a common intrinsically safe passage in the barrier. A method for compensating a measured fuel flow for a temperature of the fuel is also disclosed.
