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.

A replaceable cartridge for storing a fluid includes a pressure vessel for holding the fluid; a connecting line extending from the pressure vessel to a first connection surface on an external side of the cartridge; and a valve system comprising a first shut-off member disposed in the connecting line; wherein the connecting line has a taper in a direction of the first connection surface.

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 receptacle for conveying fluid is disclosed. An example receptacle includes a main body defining an inlet and an outlet, a spring retainer disposed in the main body, a valve seat disposed in the main body, and a poppet configured to slide between a closed position and an open position. The poppet is slidably engaged with the spring retainer between the closed position and the open position and is engaged with the valve seat in the closed position. The example receptacle also includes a spring engaged with the spring retainer and the poppet to bias the poppet to engage the valve seat in the closed position. The spring retainer, the valve seat, the poppet, and the spring are removable from the main body via the inlet without disassembling the main body.

Disclosed is a pressure vessel including an upper liner portion including a top insertion-injection molded and coupled to a peripheral part of a boss portion in which a through hole extends in a vertical direction, extending downward cylindrically from the top to form a first accommodation space accommodating a fluid and having an open lower center, and including a first shape-matching portion in which a first overlapped-coupled surface is formed on a bottom end edge to be perpendicular to a laser emission direction and extends in a vertical direction along a circumferential direction and a lower liner portion having a top end edge coupled to the bottom end edge of the upper liner portion.

A production method for an aerogel laminate includes a step of preparing a sol of producing a sol for forming an aerogel, an applying step of applying the sol obtained in the step of preparing a sol to a support having a heat ray reflective function or a heat ray absorbing function, and drying the sol to form an aerogel layer, an aging step of aging the aerogel layer obtained in the applying step, a washing step of washing the aged aerogel layer and performing solvent exchange, and a drying step of drying the aerogel layer washed in the washing step.

A pressure vessel and a system of a vehicle with such a pressure vessel, wherein the pressure vessel is suitable for storage of pressurized fluids, comprising a housing which extends along a longitudinal axis. The housing defines an inner volume. The shape of the housing, in longitudinal cross-section, is defined by the circumference of a set of circles. The set of circles comprises a central circle, with a center point which is defined by the longitudinal axis, and four primary peripheral circles each of which intersects with the central circle at two points. The primary peripheral circles are axially distributed on the central circle in opposing pairs.

A high pressure tank includes two ferrules, a resin liner that covers outer parts of the ferrules at both end parts of the resin liner to fixedly install the ferrules, and a CFRP reinforcing layer formed on an outer surface side of the resin liner and attached to the resin liner at a center of a body part of the resin liner. Two leading end parts of the resin liner covering the outer parts of the ferrules protrude from end openings provided at both end parts of the CFRP reinforcing layer.

A cryogenic storage vessel having an inner vessel defining a cryogen space; an outer vessel spaced apart from and surrounding the inner vessel, defining a thermally insulating space between the inner vessel and the outer vessel; and a receptacle defining passages for delivery of liquefied gas from the cryogen space to outside the cryogenic storage vessel. The receptacle has an elongated outer sleeve defining an interior space in fluid communication with the thermally insulating space that is sealed from the cryogen space; an elongated inner sleeve extending into the interior space defined by the elongated outer sleeve defining an inner receptacle space that is fluidly isolated from the thermally insulating space; and a collar extending around an inner surface of the elongated inner sleeve which seals against a cooperating surface of a pump assembly when a pump assembly is installed in the cryogenic storage vessel thereby dividing a warm end from a cold end of the receptacle. A motor for driving the pump can be installed within the cryogenic storage vessel.

A thermoelectric cryogenic material storage container including: an inner container containing cryogenic liquid material; a supply pipe connected to the inner container to supply the cryogenic liquid material from the outside to the inner container; an outer container for accommodating the inner container to be spaced apart from each other; a discharge pipe provided to be connected to the inner container to discharge a vaporized material of the cryogenic liquid material vaporized in the inner container to the outside of the outer container; and at least one thermoelectric module provided to have one side in contact with the outer side of the supply pipe and the other side in contact with the outer side of the discharge pipe. When current is supplied to the thermoelectric module, the other side becomes a heating side, and the one side becomes a cooling side.
