A storage tank for cryogenic liquid includes an outer tank constructed of a rigid material and an inner tank contained within and spaced inwardly from the outer tank. A supply line supplies cryogenic liquid to a plurality of cryogenic freezers. A fill line having a diameter greater than the supply line allows the storage tank to be filled at a greater speed relative to filling through the supply line and allows the storage tank to be filled while supply cryogenic liquid to the cryogenic freezers. A level sensor processes an impedance to calculate a level of the inner tank and a reporting unit displays the level and may report the level to a remote server.

A cryogenic tank comprising an inner container for holding a cryogenic medium, and an outer container surrounding the inner container to define a vacuum space. A pocket extends at least from the vacuum space into an interior space of the inner container. One or more functional components are arranged in the pocket. The one or more functional components include one or more heat exchangers, valves, control components and/or tubes.

The present disclosure provides systems and methods for producing a hydrogen storage vessel that is lightweight. The hydrogen storage vessel may comprise an inner body and an outer body structured as concentric rings with a conic interface. The vessel may have four material layers, including a barrier layer, an insulation layer, a fiber knit, and an abrasion layer. The fiber knit may be braided to trap the hydrogen, as the barrier layer may not be completely impermeable. Additionally, the fiber braid may be clamped to the outer body, enabling pressure pushing on the inner body to wedge and seal the storage vessel.

A system for storing fuel includes a support structure supporting at least one fuel tank a predetermined distance above ground. The fuel tank includes an inner tank configured to contain a gaseous fuel, an intermediate tank encompassing the inner tank and defining a first annular space therebetween, and an outer tank encompassing the intermediate tank an defining a second annular space therebetween. The first annular space is filled with a shock-absorbing resin for absorbing structural stresses, while the second annular space is filled with an insulating material providing for fire and ballistic resistance. The intermediate tank is connected to the support structure and to at least one adjacent fuel tank, and prevents the transfer of load to the inner tank.

The present disclosure relates to a vacuum heat-insulation device for a large low-temperature tank, the vacuum heat-insulation device having excellent heat insulation properties and vacuum stability by using a low-temperature heat-insulating material maintained in a vacuum at all times so as to store an ultra-low-temperature liquefied gas such as liquid nitrogen (LN.sub.2) or liquid hydrogen (LH.sub.2), and to a vacuum heat-insulation device for a low-temperature tank, the vacuum heat-insulation device having a flexible structure in which a vacuum jacket is partially contractible according to contraction of a low-temperature tank or a low-temperature heat-insulating layer.

A design and construction method for a Collapsible Cryogenic Storage Vessel can be used for storing cryogenic liquids. The vessel provides the ability to be packed for transport in a compact state and erected at the point of use. The vessel can be used multiple times. The vessel's volume can also be adjusted during use to minimize or eliminate head space in the vessel.
