Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
In one aspect, a system for controlling the temperature within a gas adsorbent storage vessel of a vehicle may include an air conditioning system forming a continuous flow loop of heat exchange fluid that is cycled between a heated flow and a cooled flow. The system may also include at least one fluid by-pass line extending at least partially within the gas adsorbent storage vessel. The fluid by-pass line(s) may be configured to receive a by-pass flow including at least a portion of the heated flow or the cooled flow of the heat exchange fluid at one or more input locations and expel the by-pass flow back into the continuous flow loop at one or more output locations, wherein the by-pass flow is directed through the gas adsorbent storage vessel via the by-pass line(s) so as to adjust an internal temperature within the gas adsorbent storage vessel.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A system for controlling the temperature within a gas adsorbent storage vessel of a vehicle, the system comprising: an air conditioning system of the vehicle, the air conditioning system forming a continuos flow loop of heat exchange fluid that is directed through a compressor, a condenser, a metering device, and an evaporator such that the heat exchange fluid cycles between a heated flow and a cooled flow, the air conditioning system including at last one f…
