The present disclosure relates to a hydrogen liquefaction device, which may comprise: a cradle for forming an accommodating space in which a mobile storage container capable of storing liquefied hydrogen or a mobility that uses liquefied hydrogen as a power source can be accommodated; and a liquefier installed on one side of the cradle, cooling hydrogen in a gaseous state supplied from outside to a temperature which is equal to or below liquefaction temperature to generate liquefied hydrogen in a liquid state so as to supply liquefied hydrogen to the mobile storage container or the mobility, or recover vaporized gas generated from the mobile storage container in which liquefied hydrogen is stored or from the mobility for re-liquefaction into liquefied hydrogen.

A cryogenic system as well as a method of generating a pressurized, sub-cooled mixed-phase cryogen and a method of delivering such a cryogen to a cryoprobe are disclosed. In an embodiment, the cryogenic system includes a reservoir containing a liquid cryogen and a sub-cooling coil immersed in the liquid cryogen. The cryogen is supplied to the sub-cooling coil and is cooled under pressure to produce a pressurized mixed phase cryogen within the sub-cooling coil. This pressurized mixed phase cryogen is provided via supply line to a cryo-device for use.

Described herein are systems and methods for cryogenic fluid delivery to achieve the lowest reasonable saturation pressure while dispensing a cryogenic fluid such as liquefied natural gas to a holding tank on a use device. The systems and methods utilize a liquid nitrogen component and a liquefaction engine, very cold liquefied natural gas and a liquefaction engine, or a combination of both very cold liquefied natural gas and a liquid nitrogen component to deliver LNG to a holding tank on a use device.

A device and a method for keeping a liquefied gas store cold having a cryogenic refrigerator, a subcooling circuit having an aspiration end intended to be seated in a liquefied gas store, a heat exchanger exchanging heat between the aspirated subcooling circuit and the refrigerator, the subcooling circuit having at least one injection end configured to inject the fluid cooled in the heat exchanger into the store, the device further including a boil-off gas recovery pipe having an upstream end intended to be connected to the store to recover the boil-off gas, the recovery pipe comprising a downstream end intended to be connected to a consumer, the device having a bypass pipe and a set of valves configured to enable boil-off gas to be transferred from the recovery pipe to the subcooling circuit.

The present invention provides a two stage cryogen cooling system for particular use in cooling a cryogen employed in a superconducting power transmission cable, the cooling system employing a sub-cooler pump such as a venturi pump to effect both cooling stages, the first cooling stage being the cooling of the liquid cryogen flowing through an inner lumen of a cryostat of the cooling system and the second stage being the generation of a supply of gaseous cryogen for supply to a second lumen of the cryostat surrounding the inner lumen.

A device for transferring liquid helium into an application cryostat comprises a storage dewar, a transfer line with a first transfer line end in the storage dewar and a second transfer line end for insertion into the application cryostat. An apparatus is provided for generating a pressure difference between the storage dewar and the application cryostat. A condensation heat exchanger, cooled by a cryocooler, condenses helium gas to liquid helium for insertion into the application cryostat. A control apparatus, using a measure of gas pressure in the application cryostat provides a control output to the apparatus for generating a pressure difference such that a volume of liquid helium transferred through the transfer line per unit of time is approximately equal to the change in volume of the helium which condenses from helium gas to liquid helium per unit of time at the condensation heat exchanger.

The system can include: a heat exchanger, a set of valves, a sensor suite, and a controller The system can optionally include or be used with a catalyst, a set of barriers, and/or an enclosure. However, the system can additionally or alternatively include any other suitable set of components. The system functions to facilitate cooling of a pressurized fluid (e.g., high pressure hydrogen gas). Additionally or alternatively, the system can function to catalyze fluid state change (e.g., hydrogen spin conversion, etc.) within the pressurized fluid. For example, the system can be used to convert hydrogen from a high-pressure gaseous hydrogen (GH.sub.2) state or high-pressure supercritical hydrogen (ScH.sub.2) state to the cryo-compressed hydrogen (CcH.sub.2) state without hydrogen liquefaction (fluid state transition to liquid hydrogen, LH.sub.2).
