Systems for handling and/or dispensing hydrogen or a mixture of fuels
containing hydrogen gas including refueling stations for hydrogen-powered
vehicles. Pure hydrogen or various mixtures ratios of hydrogen and CNG
may be dispensed. Hydrogen handling equipment may include a hydrogen
generator, a pressurizing apparatus or compressor, pressure vessels,
piping, valves, vent pipes, and/or a dispenser. Substantially vertical
orientation of pressure vessels may reduce the amount of land required
and facilitate installation in urban environments. Pressurization may
take place before hydrogen generation to reduce the power required for
pressurization. Safety features include enclosures and surrounding walls
that lean away from the equipment. Any leaking hydrogen, fires, or
explosions may be contained and/or directed upward, protecting human life
and property. Systems may be shop assembled and certified.
