A hydrogen fuel dispenser includes a pre-cooling circuit, a hydrogen fuel storage for storing hydrogen fuel, a nozzle for dispensing hydrogen fuel to a receptacle, and a fueling line connecting the hydrogen fuel storage to the nozzle for communicating hydrogen fuel from the hydrogen fuel storage to the nozzle. The pre-cooling circuit is provided to cool hydrogen fuel in the fueling line, and includes a pre-cooling line connected to the fueling line downstream from the hydrogen fuel storage, and a flow-path selector provided at a connection between the fueling line and the pre-cooling line. The flow-path selector selectively: blocks hydrogen fuel flow between the fueling line and the pre-cooling line while opening hydrogen fuel flow between the fueling line and a nozzle line of the nozzle; and opens hydrogen fuel flow between the fueling line and the pre-cooling line.

1. A hydrogen fuel dispenser, comprising: a nozzle for engaging and dispensing hydrogen fuel to a receptacle, the nozzle including a nozzle line, disposed within a nozzle body, through which hydrogen fuel is dispensed to the receptacle;a fueling line connecting the nozzle line to a hydrogen fuel storage for communicating hydrogen fuel from the hydrogen fuel storage to the nozzle line, the fueling line connecting to the nozzle line within the nozzle body;a pre-cooling line connected to the fueling line downstream from the hydrogen fuel storage, within the nozzle body, for pre-cooling hydrogen fuel; anda flow-path selector provided at a connection between the fueling line and the pre-cooling line within the nozzle body, the flow-path selector selectively: blocking hydrogen fuel flow between the fueling line and the pre-cooling line while opening hydrogen fuel flow between the fueling line and the nozzle line; and opening hydrogen fuel flow between the fueling line and the pre-cooling line. 2. The hydrogen fuel dispenser according to claim 1, comprising: a pre-cooling controller detecting a predetermined hydrogen fuel dispenser condition, and controlling the flow-path selector to:open hydrogen fuel flow between the fueling line and the pre-cooling line when the predetermined hydrogen fuel dispenser condition is detected, otherwise block hydrogen fuel flow between the fueling line and the pre-cooling line while opening hydrogen fuel flow between the fueling line and the nozzle line. 3. The hydrogen fuel dispenser according to claim 2, wherein the predetermined hydrogen fuel dispenser condition is at least one of a temperature of hydrogen fuel in the fueling line exceeding a predetermined temperature, a discontinuation of a fueling operation of dispensing hydrogen fuel to the receptacle, a passage of a predetermined time following discontinuation of the fueling operation prior to resumption of the fueling operation, and an impending fueling event. 4. The hydrogen fuel dispenser according to claim 2, wherein the predetermined hydrogen fuel dispenser condition is an impending fueling event. 5. The hydrogen fuel dispenser according to claim 4, wherein the impending fueling event is detected based upon at least one of: a detection of payment at the hydrogen fuel dispenser and a detection of a vehicle in a vicinity of the hydrogen fuel dispenser. 6. The hydrogen fuel dispenser according to claim 1, comprising: a catch tank provided in the pre-cooling line, the catch tank holding hydrogen fuel at a low pressure. 7. The hydrogen fuel dispenser according to claim 6, comprising: a compressor provided in the pre-cooling line at a position downstream from the catch tank, the compressor compressing hydrogen fuel from the catch tank for high pressure storage. 8. The hydrogen fuel dispenser according to claim 7, wherein the pre-cooling line connects the fueling line to the hydrogen fuel storage with the catch tank and the compressor disposed between the fueling line and the hydrogen fuel storage, the catch tank holding hydrogen fuel at low pressure, and the compressor compressing hydrogen fuel from the catch tank for high pressure storage in the hydrogen fuel storage. 9. The hydrogen fuel dispenser according to claim 1, wherein the pre-cooling line connects the fueling line with the hydrogen fuel storage such that hydrogen fuel flows through the pre-cooling line from the fueling line to the hydrogen fuel storage. 10. The hydrogen fuel dispenser according to claim 1, wherein the pre-cooling line communicates hydrogen fuel back into the fueling line at a position upstream from the connection between the fueling line and the pre-cooling line.
