A precast, prestressed concrete tank and method that facilitates construction of a primary inner tank within a secondary outer tank, and which permits for the construction of the primary inner tank after the secondary outer tank has been erected, but without requiring insertion through a top of the secondary outer tank, or by tunneling underneath the secondary outer tank, is disclosed. The primary inner tank has an inner wall and the secondary outer tank has an outer wall (precast, prestressed concrete) and wire windings. The primary inner tank is disposed inside of the secondary outer tank. The secondary outer tank has a plurality of first precast outer wall panels, and a temporary construction opening frame. The temporary construction opening frame defines an access doorway during construction of the tank. The temporary construction opening frame is disposed on a foundation base slab.

Provided is a reliquefaction device with which a gas gasified from a liquid can be efficiently reliquefied. A plurality of flow passages include: a mixing flow passage which is connected to the downstream end section of one among a liquid flow passage and a gas flow passage and allows a fluid mixture to flow so that a reliquefaction promoting liquid flowing through the liquid flow passage and a reliquefaction target gas flowing through the gas flow passage are mixed and the reliquefaction of the reliquefaction target gas is promoted by direct heat exchange; and a gas cooling flow passage which allows a coolant to flow and cool the reliquefaction target gas by means of indirect heat exchange with the reliquefaction target gas through a separation wall, thereby suppressing the gasification of the reliquefaction promoting liquid when the reliquefaction target gas is mixed with the reliquefaction promoting liquid flowing through the liquid flow passage.

A vacuum supply gas cylinder includes a cylinder body, a cylinder valve, a pipeline structure, a first check valve, a positive pressure regulating valve and a second check valve. The cylinder body includes an accommodating space and an opening. The cylinder valve closes the opening. The pipeline structure includes a first and second pipeline. The first check valve is one-way and disposed at the first pipeline. The first check valve has an opening pressure for a gas flow direction from the second end to the first end. The positive pressure regulating valve is disposed at the first pipeline and has an output pressure having a direction same as the gas flow direction from the second end to the first end. The second check valve is one-way and disposed at the first pipeline and is in the same direction as the flow direction of the input and stored gas.

A cryogenic dewar may include an inner tank and an outer tank. The cryogenic dewar may further include a plurality of trunnion mounts. A first four of the trunnion mounts may be coupled between a front half of the inner tank and a front half of the outer tank. A second four of the trunnion mounts may be coupled between a rear half of the inner tank and a rear half of the outer tank. The trunnion mount may be further strengthen with a plurality of pie-shaped reinforcing pads welded to each other and to an outer surface of the inner tank.

A strong unsolved need exists to provide people with breathable gases for inhaling instead of ambient air, when people live in areas, where the ambient air is polluted with toxic gases and particulate matters. The present invention solves this need by disclosing a breathing apparatus, a dispenser of breathable gases, and a distributor of breathable gases, for supplying breathable gases to people, exposed to polluted and contaminated outdoor and indoor ambient air.
