Abstract
A fluid transfer system for transferring fluid from a reservoir to a receiving device having a through flow device adapted to receive fluid from the reservoir and transfer fluid through the system or measure the amount of fluid being transferred from the reservoir to the receiving device, a controllable shut-off valve arranged upstream of the receiving device, and a controlling unit that controls at least the state of the shut-off valve. The present invention relates in particular to a fluid transfer system and methods of transferring fluid from a reservoir to a receiving device and controlling the state of the state of the shut-off valve so that the pressure of fluid being fed to the receiving device is above a first pre-selected pressure limit (Pmin) so that the delivered amount corresponds to a demand.
