System and equipment for dispensing a high pressure compressed gas using special hydraulic fluid, semitrailer comprising vertical or horizontal gas cylinders
View Patent ↗The present invention relates to a system and equipment for dispensing a high pressure compressed gas using a special hydraulic fluid, comprising a hydraulic pressurization unit also known as “HPU”, which can be connected to a semi-trailer comprising compressed gas cylinders, upper and lower open ends, comprising a single valve arranged at the upper end of the cylinders, which supplies the compressed gas to a customer, one valve disposed at the lower end of the cylinders for both supplying of the hydraulic oil from an oil reservoir to the cylinders, and the return of the hydraulic oil to the hydraulic fluid reservoir from the cylinders.
1. A system for dispensing a high pressure compressed gas using hydraulic fluid, comprising a hydraulic pressurization unity (HPU), a semitrailer comprising compressed gas cylinders, wherein each of the compressed gas cylinders comprises an open lower end for receiving a hydraulic fluid and open upper end for dispensing the compressed gas to a customer, wherein the HPU comprises:
an oil reservoir connected to a pump assembly and an electric motor, which moves the hydraulic fluid to a supplying block;
the supplying block comprising of a directional valve, a relief valve, a check valve, and a pressure transmitter able to drive the hydraulic fluid from the oil reservoir to the compressed gas cylinders through a supplying pipe, which then drives the compressed gas out of the compressed gas cylinders; and
photoelectric sensors, pneumatically actuated valves, a first passage valve having a opening, and a second passage valve, which does not have the opening, being able to return the hydraulic fluid to the oil reservoir, through a returning pipe after removing of 95% of a volumetric capacity of each of the gas cylinders,
wherein the compressed gas cylinders of the semitrailer receive the hydraulic fluid from the oil reservoir through the supplying pipe, which connects to the open lower end of the cylinders of a pallet by a single control valve and the hydraulic fluid returns to the oil reservoir via the single control valve flowing through the returning pipe
wherein the compressed gas cylinders of the semitrailer include:
only one valve at the open lower end of each of the compressed gas cylinders, wherein the valve at the open lower end controls both the supplying of hydraulic oil from the oil reservoir to the compressed gas cylinders through the supplying pipe, and the return of the hydraulic fluid from the compressed gas cylinders to the oil reservoir via the returning pipe;
only one valve at the open upper end of each compressed gas cylinder, wherein the valve at the open upper end controls the supplying of compressed gas to supply a customer; and
a set of valves arranged separately from the compressed gas cylinders of the semitrailer, wherein the set of valves control the supply of the hydraulic fluid from the oil reservoir to the cylinders of a pallet reaching the valve disposed at the open lower end of each of the compressed gas cylinders, and wherein the set of valves control the returning of the hydraulic fluid through the returning pipe from the gas compressed cylinders passing through the valve at the lower open end of the gas compressed cylinders to the oil reservoir.
2. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the compressed gas cylinders of the semitrailer can be formed by groups of vertical cylinders joined together or by a single horizontal cylinder.
