Storage banks

A battery is a galvanic cell that generates electrical current to power a practical device. Batteries can be as small as the buttons that power cameras and hearing aids or large charge storage banks like those of electric automobiles. 

This procedure allows filling pressure in the vehicle tank of 35 MPa to be attained even if the pressure in the low- and medium-pressure storage bank is well below this value. These data are suitable, if the temperature of the gas can be held at 15 °C. Because of the temperature increase during fast fill operation, an overpressurisation is needed to achieve the maximum fill at nominal conditions (35 MPa at 15°C). 

A temperature increase to about 85 °C would require a pressure of about 43.8 MPa in the vehicle tank (or a pressure of about 44.8 MPa in the high pressure bank). If the vehicle tank should be filled to the upper level at all conditions, the worst case (85 °C) has to be considered. In this case, the maximum pressure of the storage banks must be well above 45 MPa. 

Praxair (Halvorson et al., 1996) investigated two filling station concepts, a three-bank system and a booster system. For the three-bank system, Praxair laid out the storage banks to a maximum pressure of 48.3 MPa and the high-pressure bank to a minimum pressure of about 34.7 MPa for vehicle tanks with 35 MPa. They did not, however, consider the temperature increase. The pressure difference between the pressure of the full vehicle tank (34.5 MPa) and the minimum pressure of the high pressure bank (34.7 MPa) seems to be very low (only 0.2 MPa). If a temperature increase up to 85 °C and a pressure difference of 1.0 MPa is considered, then a pressure difference of only about 3.5 MPa is available for storage. 

In the hydrogen filling station layout by Ferrel et al. (1996), a maximum pressure of 56.9 MPa is selected, although BOC did not take into account the effects of heat of compression. Usually the maximum pressure has to be about 25% above the pressure level of the vehicle tank. For a pressure of 43.8 MPa at 85 °C, the pressure in the storage banks must be about 54.8 MPa, which is a good fit for the 56.9 MPa assumed.

The Swedish Environmental Specimen Bank is a centralized storage bank that has been operational for 20 years. It conducts annual sampling of a variety of environmental and human specimens for use in a number of studies, including retrospective analyses. Regional banks store human blood for use in these studies (European Commission 2004). 

I feel that a computer memory or storage bank will help improve customer service and reduce costs by having available to customers certain routine information on product specifications, applications, and test methods, which formerly would have to be hand carried, mailed, or otherwise require the time of sales or staff people to answer. Customers could... 

Data entry cards for each day s testing were delivered to the computer services offices on the St. Paul Campus of the University of Minnesota for entry into a data storage bank, which was statistically analyzed at completion of the study period. 

Storage banks, both portable and stationary, are to be inspected periodically for corrosion of containers and supports, condition of pressure relief devices, proper operation of shut-off valves, and condition of manifold piping. A leak... 

Storage banks of DOT/TC cylinders should be checked for the last hydrostatic test date to ascertain that the cylinders are within the allowable time period between tests. Cylinders in these banks must be retested every 5 years. DOT/TC cylinders must be filled and periodically retested in accordance with appropriate regulations. Retesting is not required for ASME storage tubes.

The RMDB consists of two mayor sections computer data storage and retrieval system, and backup microfilm data bank file. The computer data storage and retrieval system is used for die standard reliability and maintainability data listing, special calculations, and searches. This data bank system has been established to facilitate remote terminal access compatible with the GIDEP remote terminal programs. The microfilm data bank file is used for storage and distribution of supplier s documents, failure analysis curves, description of methods used in the collection of the data, and additional background information too extensive to include in the computer data bank.
