STATION FOR FILLING TANKS WTIH COMPRESSED GAS

摘要

Station for filling compressed-gas tanks, comprising a gas distribution terminal comprising at least one pipe one end of which is fitted with a connector to be fluidically connected to a tank, the distribution terminal being fluidically connected to a source of gas via a compressed-gas distribution circuit, the station comprising at least one heat exchanger to cool the gas, the heat exchanger being situated on the distribution circuit, the distribution terminal and the heat exchanger being arranged on a common support, the heat exchanger being arranged underneath the distribution terminal, and the support being able to move between a lowered first position in which the base of the terminal rests at ground level while the heat exchanger is situated in a cavity below ground level, and a raised second position in which the exchanger is raised out of the cavity to ground level or above ground level.

1. A station for filling tanks with compressed fuel gas, the station comprising a gas distribution terminal comprising at least one pipe one end of which is fitted with a connector configured to be fluidically connected to a tank that is to be filled, the distribution terminal being fluidically connected to a source of gas via a compressed-gas distribution circuit, the station comprising at least one heat exchanger in a heat exchange relationship with the gas supplied to the distribution terminal so as to cool the said gas, the heat exchanger being situated on the distribution circuit, wherein the distribution terminal and the heat exchanger are arranged on a common support, the heat exchanger being arranged underneath the distribution terminal, and in that the support is able to move between a lowered first position in which the base of the terminal rests at ground level while the heat exchanger is situated in a cavity below ground level, and a raised second position in which the exchanger is raised out of the cavity to ground level or above ground level.
