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.

Disclosed is a pressure vessel including a boss extension portion having a cylindrical shape in which a through hole is formed at a central part to pass therethrough and a boss flange portion formed below the boss extension portion and integrally expanding outward in a radial direction along a circumferential direction in which the through hole extends in a vertical direction inward in the radial direction, a liner portion having a container shape in which an accommodation space configured to communicate with the through hole is formed to accommodate a fluid therein while a top is insertion-injection molded and seal-coupled along a bottom surface of the boss flange portion, and a sealing portion seal-coupled to a boundary area between a bottom of the boss flange portion and a top of the liner portion to block a leakage of the fluid accommodated in the accommodation space.

A method of generating a pressurized, sub-cooled mixed-phase cryogen is disclosed, including providing a cryogenic system including a reservoir containing a liquid cryogen; and a heat exchange coil immersed in the liquid cryogen, the heat exchange coil having an input end and an output end not immersed in the liquid cryogen; introducing a pressurized gas cryogen to the input end of the heat exchange coil; cooling the pressurized gas cryogen within the heat exchange coil; and collecting the pressurized gas cryogen at an output end of the heat exchange coil.

The invention relates to a tank for storing a two-phase cryogenic mixture of liquid and gas, comprising a first casing, at least one drawing pipe, a tank filling circuit, the tank comprising a sensor assembly measuring the pressure in the first casing, the tank comprising a pipe for pressurizing the internal casing, comprising an upstream end connected to the lower end of the first casing and a downstream end connected to the upper part of the first casing, the pressurization line comprising at least one regulating valve and a heater, in particular a vaporization heat exchanger. The invention is characterized in that the regulating valve is configured to automatically maintain the pressure in the first casing at a minimum value by ensuring, when the pressure in the first casing is lower than said first value, a circulation of liquid taken from the first casing in the heater and a re-injection of said heated fluid into the first casing.

Gas pressure actuated fill termination valves for cryogenic liquid storage tanks and storage tanks containing the same.

An aspect of the present invention is a gas product including: a gas container; and a gas composition filled in the gas container, in which the gas composition includes nitrogen monoxide, hydrogen, and an inert gas, and a concentration of the nitrogen monoxide is 20% by volume or less based on a volume of the gas composition.

The invention relates to a gas container having a gas distribution valve and an electronic measurement device arranged on the gas distribution valve. The electronic measurement device having an electronic display screen which is electrically connected, via an electrical connecting connector, to a circuit board having at least one microprocessor. The electrical connecting connector having a connector body in the shape of an elongate bar through which a plurality of electrically conductive elements passes extending between two opposite faces of the connector body. The electrically conductive elements are separated from one another by regions made of insulating material.

Disclosed is a pressure vessel including a boss tail portion including a boss extension portion having a cylindrical shape and a boss flange portion integrally expanding outward in a radial direction along a circumferential direction above the boss extension portion, a liner portion having a container shape in which an accommodation space is formed to accommodate a fluid therein and a bottom is sealed and coupled, through integral insertion-injection molding, along a top surface of the boss flange portion, and a composite cover portion provided to surround an outer surface of the liner portion and to have a bottom end sealed and coupled while surrounding a bottom surface of the boss flange portion and an outer surface of the boss extension portion.

Systems and apparatus for providing long-term cold storage of solid materials such as dry ice are disclosed. The solid materials are stored in a tank configured to maintain the materials in their solid state. The tank is designed with a port sufficiently large to facilitate ingress and egress of the solid materials. A cryogenic liquid is used within the tank to substantially prevent the solid materials from sticking to each other, and to maintain the solid materials at a low temperature.
