Abstract[English]
An arrangement 402 for making a fluid connection includes a first connector 404 and a second connector 406. The first connector 404 includes a first port 408, a first mating interface 410, and an alignment guide 412. The second connector 406 includes a second port 414, a second mating interface 416, and a vacuum port 422. A seal 418 is adjacent the first mating interface 410 or the second mating interface 416. A method of refilling a vehicle 102 includes disposing the vehicle 102 near a refill tank 202, aligning the first connector with the second connector, applying a vacuum to maintain a first mating interface of the first connector adjacent a second mating interface of the second connector, transferring liquid from the refill tank to the product tank via the second connector and the first connector, and after transferring the liquid from the refill tank to the product tank, breaking the vacuum to enable the first connector to disconnect from the second connector.[French]
Selon l'invention, un agencement 402 pour la réalisation d'un raccordement fluidique comprend un premier raccord 404 et un second raccord 406. Le premier raccord 404 comprend un premier orifice 408, une première interface d'accouplement 410 et un guide d'alignement 412. Le second raccord 406 comprend un second orifice 414, une seconde interface d'accouplement 416 et un orifice pour le vide 422. Un joint d'étanchéité 418 est adjacent à la première interface d'accouplement 410 ou à la seconde interface d'accouplement 416. Un procédé de ravitaillement d'un véhicule 102 consiste à disposer le véhicule 102 près d'un réservoir de ravitaillement 202, aligner le premier raccord avec le second raccord, appliquer un vide pour maintenir une première interface d'accouplement du premier raccord adjacente à une seconde interface d'accouplement du second raccord, transférer un liquide du réservoir de ravitaillement au réservoir de produit par l'intermédiaire du second raccord et du premier raccord, et après le transfert du liquide du réservoir de ravitaillement au réservoir de produit, rompre le vide pour permettre au premier raccord de se désolidariser du second raccord.
