Abstract:
1. A method for dispensing a compressed gas, the method comprising: selecting a desired time-averaged dispensing rate for a first time period; calculating a threshold pressure of the compressed gas needed to supply a compressor to meet the desired time-averaged dispensing rate; withdrawing a first quantity of compressed gas from at least one supply vessel of a plurality of supply vessels, and passing the first quantity of compressed gas to a storage vessel of a plurality of storage vessels via the compressor, wherein the pressure of the first quantity of compressed gas when withdrawn from the at least one supply vessel of the plurality of supply vessels is greater than the threshold pressure for at least 90% of the first time period; and dispensing the first quantity of compressed gas from the storage vessel of the plurality of storage vessels into one or more receiving vessels.
