| 发明名称 | Apparatus and method for determining phase separation risk of a blended fuel in a storage tank | ||
| 摘要 | A method for improved handling of a blended fuel includes obtaining a sample of the blended fuel from a storage tank; cooling the same until the sample separates into phases; and determining a risk that the fuel in the storage tank will separate based on the cooling step. An apparatus for assessing the risk of phase separation of a blended fuel includes a test cavity for holding a sample of the blended fuel from a storage tank; a heat transfer device for cooling the sample in the test cavity; and at least one sensor for indicating when the sample in the test cavity has separated into phases. | ||

| 主权项 | 1. A method for handling a blended fuel in a storage tank, comprising: obtaining a sample of the blended fuel from the storage tank; determining whether the fuel in the storage tank has separated prior to determining a risk that the blended fuel in the storage tank will separate; cooling the sample until the sample separates into phases; and determining the risk that the blended fuel in the storage tank will separate based on the cooling step. | ||
