Cascade bank selection based on ambient temperature

摘要

A system for controlling the temperature of compressed gas being transferred from one or more high-pressure storage vessels to a receiving vessel includes a plurality of high-pressure storage vessels with compressed gas therein, a conduit for receiving the compressed gas from one or more of the storage vessels and being adapted to communicate with a receiving vessel to transfer the compressed gas thereto. A plurality of flow-control devices control the flow of compressed gas from one or more of the storage vessels to the receiving vessel and a controller regulates the flow-control devices in response to the ambient temperature measured by a temperature-measuring device of the system to thereby control the temperature of the compressed gas being transferred to the receiving vessel. The method in which the system of this invention operates also constitutes a part of the present invention.
