Apparatus and method for flowing compressed fluids into and out of containment

Methods for loading a compressed fluid, such as natural gas, into and discharging the compressed fluid out of containment are provided. The compressed fluid is injected into a bottom portion of a container system for storage and / or transport until a target pressure is reached after which gas is withdrawn from an upper portion of the container system at a rate to maintain the target pressure while the compressed fluid is injected in the bottom portion. The compressed fluid is cooled through an expansion valve and by refrigerated chillers or by injecting a cold liquid of the same chemical composition as the compressed fluid, such as liquid natural gas, into the compressed fluid prior to injection into the container system. Withdrawal or discharge from the container system to a receiving facility begins with blow down from the bottom portion of the container system without a displacement fluid and continues until pressure falls below an acceptable differential pressure. The discharge stream is passed through a separator and a light gas from the separator is pressurized and injected into an upper portion of the container system to drive the compressed fluid out the bottom. The light gas is pressurized using either a compressor or a heated tank system, where two vessels operate in parallel, trapping and heating the light gas and then discharging to the container system from one while filling the other and alternating the operation between the two.

Electrically-operated temperature-regulated scented wax warmer

An electrically operated scented wax holder that forms a receptacle for receiving unmelted blocks of wax which are heated to the melting point and thereafter maintained at a safe temperature by a temperature-regulated electrical heating element. The wax receptacle is removable mounted on a base section that houses a positive temperature coefficient (PTC) thermistor which has a transition temperature substantially higher than the melting point of the wax to insure that the wax is rapidly melted, but substantially below the temperature that would constitute a danger to a human who might touch the exterior surface of the warmer, or constitute a fire hazard. The heating element is preferably placed in thermal contact with a contact pad having high thermal conductivity that is in turn placed closely adjacent to the wax receptacle, thereby efficiently transferring heat from the electrically operated temperature regulated heating element to the wax in the receptacle. A switch is positioned to de-energize the heating element whenever the wax receptacle is removed from the base section, and a visible pilot light is illuminated whenever the heating element is energized.

Liquid and compressed natural gas dispensing system

A system dispenses both liquid natural gas (LNG) and compressed natural gas (CNG). A bulk tank contains a supply of LNG which is pumped to a smaller storage tank. After the storage tank is refilled, LNG from the bulk tank is pumped to a vaporizer so that CNG is produced. The CNG may be routed to the LNG in the storage tank to condition it. It is also used to recharge a pressurizing cylinder that is placed in communication with the head space of the storage tank when it is desired to rapidly dispense LNG to a vehicle. A bank of cascaded storage cylinders alternatively may receive CNG from the vaporizer for later dispensing through the system CNG dispenser. The CNG from the vaporizer may also be dispensed directly via the system CNG dispenser.
