Computer Readable Medium Having A Computer Program For Dispensing Compressed Natural Gas

View page
US Patent:
57719470, Jun 30, 1998
Filed:
Jun 19, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/878871
Inventors:
Kenneth J. Kountz - Palatine IL
William E. Liss - Libertyville IL
Christopher F. Blazek - Palos Hills IL
Assignee:
Gas Research Institute - Chicago IL
International Classification:
B65B 130
B65B 326
US Classification:
141 83
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for dispensing natural gas into the natural gas vehicle cylinder of a motor vehicle is disclosed. The natural gas dispensing system includes a pressure transducer and a temperature transducer for measuring the pressure and temperature, respectively, of the supply gas as it is passed toward a dispenser, a second pressure transducer for measuring the pressure within the natural gas vehicle cylinder, an ambient air temperature transducer for measuring ambient air temperatures at the dispensing site, and a mass flow meter for measuring the gas mass injected into the vehicle cylinder. Each transducer and the mass flow meter emits a data signal to a control processor which automatically dispenses compressed gas to the vehicle cylinder, as well as maximizing the amount of gas mass injected into the cylinder. The control processor maximizes the mass of compressed gas injected into the vehicle cylinder by injecting a first mass of compressed gas into the cylinder and calculating a first volume estimate in response thereto, estimating a second mass of compressed gas required to fill the cylinder to a first predetermined fill state, and then estimating a third mass of compressed gas required to fill a reference gas cylinder to the first predetermined fill state in response thereto. Thereafter, the second mass of compressed gas is injected into the cylinder, the gas mass being injected into the cylinder from the initial state being measured, as well as the pressure of the compressed gas within the container resulting from the injection of the second gas mass being measured, whereupon the control processor estimates a second volume of the gas container in response thereto.

US Patent:
58817794, Mar 16, 1999
Filed:
Oct 21, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/954798
Inventors:
Kenneth J. Kountz - Palatine IL
William E. Liss - Libertyville IL
Christopher F. Blazek - Palos Hills IL
Assignee:
Gas Research Institute - Chicago IL
International Classification:
B65B 130
US Classification:
141 83
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for dispensing compressed natural gas and for maximizing the mass of compressed gas dispensed into a gas storage cylinder is disclosed. Pressure and temperature transducers are provided as a part of the apparatus to emit data signals to a control processor of the pressure and temperature of a supply of compressed gas delivered to a gas dispenser, as well as the ambient temperature at the dispenser and the pressure of the compressed gas within the cylinder, respectively. A mass flow meter is also provided for emitting a data signal to the control processor of the mass of compressed gas injected into the storage cylinder. The control processor includes a dispenser control program which processes the emitted data signals to automatically maximize the mass of compressed gas injected into the cylinder by performing at least a two-stage fill process for computing at least two dynamic estimates of the storage cylinder volume during the gas dispensing process, and for determining the maximum mass of compressed gas that can be safely injected into the gas storage cylinder in response thereto. Additional fill stages may be performed in order to calculate additional estimates of the storage cylinder volume in the control processor, if so desired, for even more accurately determining the mass of compressed gas that may be injected into the cylinder for maximizing the gas injection into the gas storage cylinder.

Thermal Gradient Humidification-Dehumidification Desalination System

View page
US Patent:
43637035, Dec 14, 1982
Filed:
Nov 6, 1980
Appl. No.:
6/204560
Inventors:
Ahmed A. ElDifrawi - Burr Ridge IL
Christopher F. Blazek - Palos Hills IL
Bernard D. Yudow - Chicago IL
Assignee:
Institute of Gas Technology - Chicago IL
International Classification:
C02F 114
US Classification:
203 10
Abstract:
A solar energy desalination process utilizing solar radiation directly for the evaporation of salt water is described. Ambient air takes on water vapor as the air passes through an evaporative medium. It is then directed between a saline water-covered, solar absorbing surface and a solar collecting housing. The resulting heated and moisture-saturated air is cooled in a heat exchange means where condensation of fresh water occurs. Simultaneously, cool salt water is utilized as the cooling water in the heat exchange means, and takes on the heat of condensation given up by the condensing vapor. The heated salt water from the heat exchange means is partially directed over the solar absorbing surface, and at least a portion of it is also directed to wet the evaporative medium. Several optional sub-processes are described for operation of the system during periods of reduced insolation, and an alternative process is described for operation of the process on a floating platform.
