Abstract:
A tank filling system comprising a first filling coupler that couples to a first set of fittings disposed at a first tank end of a tank; a second filling coupler that couples to a second set of fittings disposed at a second tank end of the tank; a fluid source; a set of fluid lines and one or more fluid valves that communicate fluid from the fluid source to the first and second filling couplers; and a computing device configured to control the one or more fluid valves. In some examples, the tank can comprise an elongated folded tank having a plurality of elongated rigid tubing portions having a first diameter, a plurality of connector portions having a second diameter that is smaller than the first diameter and flexible corrugations and a rigid cuff, and taper portions disposed between and coupling successive tubing portions and connector portions.

Claim (Index 7):
A method of filling a tank having a first and second tank end, the method comprising:\n introducing a first fluid flow into the first end of the tank via a filling coupler and a first set of fittings disposed at the first tank end; determining based at least in part on first temperature data obtained from a first temperature sensor of a second filling coupler disposed at the second end of the tank that a temperature at the second end of the tank has at least reached a first threshold; based at least in part on the determining that the temperature at the second end of the tank has at least reached the first threshold, stopping the fluid flow into the first end of the tank via the first filling coupler and the first set of fittings disposed at the first tank end, and beginning to introduce a second fluid flow into the second end of the tank via the second filling coupler and a second set of fittings disposed at the second tank end; determining based at least in part on second temperature data obtained from a second temperature sensor of the first filling coupler that a temperature at the first end of the tank has at least reached a second threshold; and based at least in part on the determining that the temperature at the first end of the tank has at least reached the second threshold, stopping the second fluid flow into the second end of the tank via the second filling coupler and the second set of fittings disposed at the second tank end, and beginning to introduce a third fluid flow into the first end of the tank via the first filling coupler and the first set of fittings disposed at the first tank end.
