Provided is a pressure tank having a lattice structure, including: a tank body that has a high-pressure fluid accommodated therein and is manufactured to have a prismatic shape; and cell structures that are disposed in the prismatic tank body, are manufactured in a lattice form, arrive from one side wall of the tank body to the other side wall thereof facing it, and are orthogonally arranged regularly.

A triple containment tank includes an outer tank, an intermediate tank located in the outer tank, an inner tank located in the intermediate tank and storing a liquefied gas therein, and a pipe penetrating the outer tank, the intermediate tank, and the inner tank. The pipe is coupled to the outer tank through a first expandable pipe, is coupled to one of the inner tank and the intermediate tank through a second expandable pipe, and is joined to the other of the inner tank and the intermediate tank.

Vessels, wall structures, transfer hoses and systems for storing and transferring liquid cryogens are provided and are based on an elastic layer comprised of a polymer fabric impregnated with a cured resin. The elastic layer is substantially impervious to liquid cryogen, for example LNG, and retains elastic properties at typical cryogenic temperatures.

An insulated spherical pressure vessel, such as a sphere, having an insulation system installed thereon. The insulation system includes an equatorial support including an equatorial support bar having upper and lower rods attached to upper and lower sides, and a plurality of clips perpendicular to the bar, the clips having one or more holes for additional rods. One or more insulation layers are installed and held against the sphere wall by metal bands. A cable support matrix including metal straps and horizontal cables is installed over the insulation layers, and then insulation panels are secured to the matrix cables using fasteners. The insulation panels each include insulation material and an exterior metal jacket. The panels are secured to horizontally adjacent insulation panels with standing seams. The cables are not secured to the metal straps in any way, but are allowed to freely move through belt loops of the metal straps.

The invention relates to a transport container (1) for helium (He), comprising an inner container (6) for receiving the helium (He), a coolant container (14) for receiving a cryogenic liquid (N.sub.2), an outer container (2) in which the inner container (6) and the coolant container (14) are received, and a thermal shield (21) which can be actively cooled with the aid of the cryogenic liquid (N.sub.2), the thermal shield (21) comprising a tubular base section (22) in which the inner container (6) is received, and a cover section (23, 24) that closes the base section (22) at the front and that is arranged between the inner container (6) and the coolant container (14), wherein an intermediate space (20) is provided between the inner container (6) and the coolant.

The invention relates to a transport container (1) for helium (He), comprising an inner container (6) for receiving the liquid (He), an insulation element (26) that is provided on the exterior of the inner container (6), a coolant container (14) for receiving a cryogenic liquid (N.sub.2), an outer container (2) in which the inner container (6) and the coolant container (14) are received, and a thermal shield (21) which can be actively cooled with the aid of the cryogenic liquid (N.sub.2) and in which the inner container (6) is received, wherein a peripheral gap (31) is provided between the insulation element (26) and the thermal shield (21), and said insulation element (26) comprises a copper layer (27) that faces the thermal shield (21).

A transport container for helium, having an inner container for receiving helium, a thermal shield actively coolable with the aid of a cryogenic liquid and in which the inner container is accommodated, an outer container in which the thermal shield and inner container are accommodated, and a carrying ring provided on the thermal shield. The inner container is suspended from the carrying ring with the aid of first suspension rods, wherein the carrying ring is suspended from the outer container with the aid of second suspension rods, wherein at least one of the first suspension rods has a first spring device and at least one of the second suspension devices has a second spring device in order to ensure a spring pretension of the first suspension rods and the second suspension rods for different heat expansions of the inner container and the thermal shield.

A hydrogen tank assembly is provided for use in vehicles, such as aircraft. The hydrogen tank assembly has an inner tank wall, an outer tank wall, and an inert gas source. The inner tank wall defines a hydrogen tank volume that is surrounded by a shroud volume which is defined by the outer tank wall. The hydrogen tank volume is filled with cryogenic hydrogen and has a higher pressure than the shroud volume that is filled with an inert gas, such as helium. The counter-pressure of the inert gas prevents micro-cracks in the inner tank wall and increases the in-service life.

A heat-insulating container being used under an environment where exposure to water of liquid is possible, includes a container main body having a substance holding portion which holds a substance at a temperature which is lower than a normal temperature on the inside of the substance holding portion; and a heat-insulating structure body which is provided in the container main body and includes at least a vacuum heat-insulating material. In addition, the vacuum heat-insulating material includes an outer cover material and an inner member sealed in a tightly closed and decompressed state on an inside of the outer cover material. In addition, the inner member is configured of a material which does not generate hydrogen in a case of coming into contact with the moisture of the liquid.
