Methods, apparatus, and device, for a cryogenic storage system that stores and/or transports a liquid or gas at a temperature below ambient temperature. The cryogenic storage system has an enclosure assembly. The cryogenic storage system has a dewar that is positioned within the enclosure assembly. The enclosure assembly may comprise be configured to provide little to no friction between the dewar and the enclosure assembly. The enclosure assembly may be configured for shock absorption and/or vibration damping for the dewar during transferring of the cryogenic storage system.

Methods, apparatus, and device, for a cryogenic storage system that stores and/or transports a liquid or gas at a temperature below ambient temperature. The cryogenic storage system has an enclosure and a cavity. The cryogenic storage system has a dewar that is positioned within the cavity of the enclosure. The dewar has a payload area that is configured to hold a liquid below ambient temperature. The dewar is configured to hold a liquid below ambient temperature and passively stabilize in an upright position. The dewar is formed with an inner wall and an outer wall and has an opening that allows access to the payload area.

An apparatus includes a Dewar having an endcap. The apparatus also includes a heat sink and a multiaxial thermal shoe having a thermal interface material and configured to thermally couple the endcap of the Dewar to the heat sink via one of at least two axial surfaces. The multiaxial thermal shoe is configured to transfer thermal energy between the endcap of the Dewar and the heat sink without structurally coupling the Dewar to the heat sink. The multiaxial thermal shoe may be configured to hold the thermal interface material against the endcap. The multiaxial thermal shoe may couple to the heat sink via a first axial surface in-line with an optical centerline or a second axial surface crosswise to the optical centerline.

Embodiments of the disclosure relate to shipping cases, dewars, and systems for transporting a frozen material. More specifically, the embodiments described herein include and/or enable dewar lid protective systems, data logging enablement, controlled coolant escape, efficient stacking options during transport, spill protection to ensure safe and effective transport of frozen samples and materials among other things. An exemplary use for the systems described herein includes reliable shipping for frozen materials at specified environmental conditions which can be tracked and verified.

A low-temperature tank includes a container main body. The container main body includes a metal liner forming a storage space and a wall member formed of carbon fiber reinforced plastic wound on an outer peripheral surface of the metal liner. The metal liner includes a bent portion that extends in two directions intersecting each other on a surface thereof and that is bent to project toward the storage space.

A cryogenic liquid dispensing device may include a cryogenic cylinder for containing a cryogenic liquid. A dispensing pipe may be in fluid communication with the cryogenic cylinder. A dispensing valve may be configured to govern the fluid communication between the dispensing pipe and the cryogenic cylinder. A heating element may be disposed within the cryogenic cylinder, and the heating element may be configured to generate heat within the cryogenic cylinder to increase the pressure within the cryogenic cylinder. By generating heat within the cryogenic cylinder, the pressure within the cylinder may be increased and used to motivate a cryogenic fluid within the cylinder to the dispensing valve and out of the dispensing pipe. Preferably, the device may include a processing unit that may be configured to cause the heating element to generate heat within the cryogenic cylinder when a pressure reader detects a minimum pressure within the cryogenic cylinder.

A cryostat for a superconducting magnet system is provided. The cryostat may include an outer vessel and an inner vessel suspended within the outer vessel. A space may be defined by the outer vessel and the inner vessel. The cryostat may include multiple first support elements and one or more second support elements. The strength of the first supporting element may be larger than that of the second support elements. The inner vessel and the outer vessel may be connected by two opposite ends of a first support element and two opposite ends of a second support element, respectively. The number of the first support elements in the lower part of the space is different from the number of the first support elements in the upper part of the space.

A cryogen storage vessel at an installation is filled with liquid cryogen from a liquid cryogen storage tank that has a pressure lower than that of the vessel. After headspaces of the vessel and tank are placed in fluid communication with another via a gas transfer vessel and are pressure-balanced, a pump in a liquid transfer line connected between the tank and the vessel is operated to transfer amounts of liquid cryogen from the tank to the vessel via the liquid transfer line and pump as amounts of gaseous cryogen are transferred, through displacement by the pumped cryogenic liquid, from the vessel to the tank.
