Abstract

The objective of this paper is to clarify the flow characteristic, velocity distribution, pressure loss, and other such fundamental data for the canister during loading and purging. The amount of gas that is loaded increases as the loading rate is decreased and the time increased, and the purging improves as the purge rate is increased. The hydrocarbons that are purged initially have a high concentration, and a large amount is purged. During loading and purging, the temperature initially increases and decreases drastically due to heat generation and heat loss.
