  • Method for filling a tank with gas
    Patent number: 9574708
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for filling a tank with a pressurized fuel gas, the average temperature of the gas in the tank is estimated in real time during the filling. The method includes, before the filling, determining the initial temperature of the gas in the tank, determining the initial pressure of the gas in the tank, determining the initial average temperature of the wall of the tank and determining the initial mass of gas in the tank. According to the method, during the filling, the enthalpy of the gas entering into the tank is determined as a function of time and the mass of gas injected into the tank is determined as a function of time or, respectively, the pressure in the tank is determined as a function of time. The average temperature of the gas at the time in the tank is determined in degrees K.

  • Method for Increasing the Biomass and the Metabolic Activity of Microorganisms by the Combined Adjustment of the Oxidation-Reduction Potential and of the Oxygen Dissolved During the Fermentation Process
    Publication number: 20140141405
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for cultivating microorganisms, particularly of the type that comprises the step of seeding a culture medium with one or more microorganism strains, and the step of cultivating the medium thus seeded, characterized in that it comprises, during the entirety or a portion of the cultivation, the two following and simultaneous adjustments: adjusting the amount of oxygen dissolved in the medium to a given dissolved-oxygen setpoint; adjusting the value of the redox potential Eh of the medium to a given setpoint value Eh.

  • Method of estimating the volume of a pressurized gas container
    Patent number: 8594954
    Abstract: Method of estimating the volume (Vtk) of a tank (1), comprising: a step of calculating the volume (Vtk) of the tank (1) by applying the law of conservation of enthalpy (H) of the gas, considering that the transfer of the checking stream of gas is adiabatic (Ttk(t1)=Ttk(t2) and Tsi(t1)=Tsi(t2)), expressing the enthalpy of the gas in the tank as a function only of the temperature Ttk(ti) of the gas and the pressure Ptk(ti) of the gas (Htk=function of (Ttk(ti); Ptk(ti)), using the perfect gas law or a Van der Waals equation of state expressing the volume of the tank Vtk(ti) (in cubic meters) only as a function of the known or previously estimated variables.

  • Method of Estimating the Volume of a Pressurized Gas Container
    Publication number: 20110022337
    Abstract: Method of estimating the volume (Vtk) of a tank (1), comprising: a first step of determining the quantity (ntk(ti)) of gas contained in the tank (1) at a first time (t=t1); then a step of transferring a checking stream of gas from a source (S1, S2, S3, . . . , Si) into the tank (1), the checking stream flowing over a discrete period (t2?t1); a step of determining the quantity (Q=ntk(t2)?ntk(t1)) of gas transferred from the source (S1, S2, S3, . . .
