Claim 15:
16. A method to refuel a vessel with cryo-compressed hydrogen comprising:
determining a target pressure of a mixing tank based on a pressure of the vessel;
filling the mixing tank with at least the cryo-compressed hydrogen based on the target pressure of the mixing tank;
determining whether a flowrate of the cryo-compressed hydrogen satisfies a target flowrate;
adjusting the flowrate of the cryo-compressed hydrogen in response to the flowrate not satisfying the target flowrate;
determining whether a pressure of the mixing tank satisfies the target pressure of the mixing tank;
adjusting the pressure of the mixing tank in response to the pressure not satisfying the target pressure of the mixing tank;
determining whether a temperature of the vessel satisfies a target temperature of the vessel;
adjusting a flowrate of supercritical hydrogen into the mixing tank at the pressure of the mixing tank based on the temperature of the vessel and the target temperature of the vessel;
determining whether the pressure of the vessel satisfies a target pressure of the vessel; and
ending a refueling process in response to the pressure of the vessel satisfying the target pressure of the vessel.
