A container is disclosed. The container includes a canister body, at least one heating device and at least one safety device. The canister body includes an inner space for storing a gas storage material. The at least one heating device is accommodated within an inner space of the canister body for heating the gas storage material, so that the gas storage material releases a gas. The at least one safety device is connected with the corresponding heating device and installed on an end part of the canister body. When a temperature of the inner space is higher than a predetermined temperature value or a pressure of the inner space is higher than a predetermined pressure value, a portion of the gas is released through the safety device.

The present invention relates to containment system for a cryogenic fluid. The system comprises a wall defining an interior space for containing the cryogenic fluid, the wall having an interior surface facing the interior space. the cryogenic fluid comprises liquefied gas At least a portion of the interior surface being provided with a thermal insulation barrier comprising a layer of a material having a contact angle which is at least 150 for the cryogenic fluid.

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 system and method is provided for transferring liquid argon from a bulk storage tank to a transport tank in which liquid argon is pumped through a tube arrangement within a heat exchanger and the tube arrangement is contacted by liquid nitrogen at a temperature less than the temperature of the liquid argon so that heat transfers from the liquid argon to the liquid nitrogen, thereby reducing the temperature, density and pressure of the liquid nitrogen prior to exiting the heat exchanger.

The invention relates to a gas venting pipe (10) for a vehicle (100) having a forward tiltable cab, which gas venting pipe comprises: a first pipe section (12) mountable to a chassis of the vehicle; a second pipe section (14) mountable to a rear wall of the forward tiltable cab of the vehicle; and a flexible magnet connection (16) adapted to releasably interconnect the first and second pipe sections. The present invention also relates to a liquefied gas driven vehicle (100) comprising a gas venting pipe, and to a method of venting gas from a liquefied gas driven vehicle.

A liquefied gas regasification system and a method of operating the same, and, more particularly to a liquefied gas regasification system which can smoothly supply re-gasified liquefied gas to a gas consumer, and a method of operating the same are disclosed. The liquefied gas regasification system includes: a supply pump discharging liquefied gas from a liquefied gas storage tank; a high-pressure pump receiving liquefied gas from the liquefied gas storage tank and compressing the liquefied gas; and a fourth liquefied gas supply line connecting the supply pump to the high-pressure pump, wherein the supply pump is directly connected to the high-pressure pump through the fourth liquefied gas supply line, such that liquefied gas is directly supplied to the high-pressure pump by the supply pump.

A cryostat arrangement has an outer jacket, a first tank with a first cryogen, and a second tank with a second liquid cryogen which boils at a higher temperature than the first cryogen. The first tank comprises a neck tube, whose hot upper end is connected to the outer jacket at ambient temperature and whose cold lower end is connected to the first tank at a cryogenic temperature. The arrangement uses a riser pipe protruding into the second tank through which the second liquid cryogen can flow out of the second tank and into a first heat exchanger in thermal contact with the neck tube. An outflow line is provided through which second cryogen evaporating from the first heat exchanger can flow out and into an optional second heat exchanger. It is thus possible to greatly reduce heat input from the neck tube into the first tank.

An improved system and method for the automated refilling of cryogenic helium is provided. In one embodiment, the system includes a dewar in fluid communication with a liquid helium cryostat through a cryogen transfer line. A controller regulates operation of a three-way valve to pre-cool the transfer line and to cause gaseous helium to flow to the dewar and force liquid helium through the transfer line into the cryostat. The controller is coupled to the output of a cryogenic level sensor, such that the controller regulates the helium liquid level within the cryostat. During filling cycles, the dewar liquid level is also monitored by the cryogenic level sensor and an alarm sounds if the dewar liquid level is undesirably low. Between filling cycles, the controller is operable to ventilate the dewar through a solenoid vent valve in fixed time intervals to ensure the dewar pressure is sufficiently low so as to not bleed liquid helium into the cryostat.
