Abstract (en)
[origin: CA3161481A1] Device and method for filling pressurised gas tanks, comprising a pressurised gas source (2), a transfer pipe (3) connected to a tank (4) to be filled, the transfer pipe (3) comprising a set of valve(s) (5) and a compressor (6), the device (1) comprising a sensor (11) for detecting the presence of oil in the gas flowing in the transfer pipe (3) downstream of the compressor (6), the device comprising a bypass pipe (7) connected to the transfer pipe (3) downstream of the compressor (6) and comprising a set of at least two valve(s) (8, 9, 10) in series which are configured to enable, in a first configuration, the gas flowing in the transfer pipe (3) to be extracted in the bypass pipe (7) and, in a second configuration, fluid isolation between the bypass pipe (7) and the transfer pipe (3), wherein the valve assembly (8, 9, 10) of the transfer pipe (3) defines in the second configuration a closed storage space for the gas extracted and enclosed in the bypass pipe (3), the closed storage space comprising a pressure relief system for the gas extracted and enclosed in the bypass pipe (3) for lowering the pressure of the enclosed gas to a pressure lower than the pressure of the gas flowing in the transfer pipe (3), the oil presence detection sensor (11) detecting oil in the closed storage space.
