Abstract:
1. A fueling station comprising: at least one pump configured to boost a pressure of a volume of liquefied natural gas (LNG) supplied thereto, the at least one pump having at least one pressurized output configured to supply pressurized LNG; at least one diverter valve operably coupled to the at least one pressurized output of the at least one pump, wherein the at least one diverter valve is configured to selectively divert the flow of any pressurized LNG flowing from the at least one pressurized output of the at least one pump between a first flow path and a second flow path; at least one LNG dispensing unit in fluid communication with the first flow path; a vaporizer in fluid communication with the second flow path, the vaporizer being configured to receive and convert pressurized LNG to compressed natural gas (CNG); and at least one CNG dispensing unit in fluid communication with the vaporizer.
