A liquefied fluid supply system is a liquefied fluid supply system of supplying a nozzle with a liquefied fluid that vaporizes after spraying and includes: a supercooler that cools the liquefied fluid to a temperature lower than a saturation temperature thereof and makes the liquefied fluid into a supercooled liquid; and a booster that boosts in pressure the liquefied fluid made into the supercooled liquid by the supercooler and supplies the liquefied fluid to the nozzle.

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.

The fuel system has a liquefied gas tank and a cooling system for the vaporized content of liquefied gas, which comprises a liquid nitrogen tank, a nitrogen pump, a heat exchanger, and a nitrogen cooler, which are connected to each other in a pipework circuit. The heat exchanger is arranged in the interior of the liquefied gas tank. Also disclosed are a vehicle, a plant and a machine, in each case with a fuel system, and a method for cooling the vaporized content of liquefied gas of a liquefied gas drive system.

The invention relates to an installation for storing and transporting a liquefied gas, having a sealed pipe (7) that passes through the tank wall so as to define a fluid passage between the inside and the outside of the tank, a sealed metal sheath (29) that is disposed around the sealed pipe (7) and fitted in the opening (22) in the load-bearing wall, the sealed sheath having a longitudinal portion extending at least as far as the sealing membrane (14), the sealing membrane being joined to the sealed sheath (29) in a sealed manner, wherein the load-bearing structure comprises a coaming (24) that protrudes from an outer surface of the load-bearing wall, the sealed pipe being supported by a top wall (26) of the coaming, the sealed sheath (29) having an outer end that is disposed outside the load-bearing wall and attached to the coaming or to the sealed pipe (7) all around the sealed pipe.

A solid hydrogen storage device provides an improved heat-transfer efficiency by improving the contact properties between heat-exchange tubes and heat-transfer fins. The solid hydrogen storage device includes a heat-transfer fin including a plurality of tube through holes, a heating tube, and a cooling tube. The heating tube and the cooling tube respectively extend through the tube through holes, and the heating tube and the cooling tube have different coefficients of thermal expansion.

An arrangement comprising at least one liquefaction plant for liquefying a gaseous medium to produce a liquefied medium; and at least one storage tank for storing the liquefied medium. A first transfer line is provided which is connected between the liquefaction plant and the storage tank, for transferring liquefied medium from the liquefaction plant into the storage tank. A second transfer line is connected between the liquefaction plant and the storage tank, for transferring gaseous medium from the storage tank into the liquefaction plant. The second transfer line, which used for transferring medium from the storage tank into the liquefaction plant, is arranged so that it is routed at least partially through the area of the storage tank in which the liquefied medium is stored in use.

A fluid storage and pressurizing assembly includes a storage receptacle and a pump assembly. The storage receptacle includes an inner vessel defining a cryogen space for storing a fluid at a storage pressure and a cryogenic temperature, an outer vessel surrounding the inner vessel, and an insulated space between the inner vessel and the outer vessel, and a pump assembly. The pump assembly includes a pump immersed in the cryogen space having an inlet for receiving a quantity of fluid from the cryogen space, and an outlet for delivering the fluid therefrom. The pump assembly further includes a pump drive unit for driving the immersed pump, the pump drive unit being at least partially disposed within a space defined by the storage receptacle.

Disclosed is a liquefied natural gas storage apparatus. The apparatus includes a heat insulated tank and liquefied natural gas contained in the tank. The tank has heat insulation sufficient to maintain liquefied natural gas therein such that most of the liquefied natural gas stays in liquid. The contained liquefied natural gas has a vapor pressure from about 0.3 bar to about 2 bar. The apparatus further includes a safety valve configured to release a part of liquefied natural gas contained in the tank when a vapor pressure of liquefied natural gas within the tank becomes higher than a cut-off pressure. The cut-off pressure is from about 0.3 bar to about 2 bar.

A fuel tank arrangement of a marine vessel is disclosed, having an LNG-fuel tank formed of an inner shell, an outer shell, an insulation therebetween and a tank connection space provided at an end of the LNG-fuel tank, the inner shell having an end part at an end of the inner shell facing the tank connection space. A collar is fastened to the end part of the inner shell and extends conically outwardly from the inner shell. The collar has an outer rim to which an additional shell extending in an axial direction away from the inner shell is fastened, and the additional shell has an end rim opposite the collar to which an end cover of the tank connection space is fastened.
