  • Publication number: 20240072721
    Abstract: A coupling system for use with a solar tracker includes a support rail including a pair of opposed flanges disposed in spaced relation to one another and defining a channel therebetween, each of the pair of opposed flanges including a respective slot defined therethrough, and a coupling clip configured to be received within each of the slots and a portion of a module rail received within the channel of the support rail, wherein the coupling clip includes a resilient finger disposed on a distal end portion configured to engage a portion of the pair of opposed flanges to inhibit proximal movement of the coupling clip and a one protrusion disposed on a proximal portion thereof configured to engage a portion of an opposite flange of the pair of opposed flanges to inhibit distal movement of the coupling clip to couple the module rail to the support rail.

  • Patent number: 11118736
    Abstract: An integrated cryogenic fluid delivery system includes a tank adapted to hold a supply of cryogenic liquid and having an end wall. A shroud is positioned on the end wall and contains a shell and tube heat exchanger. The heat exchanger includes a shell defining a warming fluid chamber and having a shell inlet and a shell outlet in fluid communication with the warming fluid chamber. A number of cryogenic fluid coils are positioned within the warming fluid chamber and are in fluid communication with a cryogenic fluid inlet port and a cryogenic fluid outlet port. A fuel shutoff valve has an inlet in fluid communication with a liquid side of the tank and an outlet in fluid communication with the cryogenic fluid inlet port of the heat exchanger. A manual vent valve has an inlet in fluid communication with a headspace of the tank and an outlet. The fuel shutoff valve and the manual vent valve each have a control knob that is accessible from the first or second side of the shroud.

  • Patent number: 9829156
    Abstract: An integrated cryogenic fluid delivery system includes a cryogenic liquid tank having an interior, a wall and a geometry. The interior of the cryogenic liquid tank contains a supply of cryogenic liquid. A fuel pickup line is positioned within the interior of the tank and is in fluid communication with a vaporizer so that the vaporizer receives and vaporizes cryogenic liquid from the tank. The vaporizer is positioned outside of the tank and is secured to the wall. The vaporizer also has a shape that conforms with the geometry of the tank.
