The invention relates to a filling level measuring device (10) for measuring the filling level in a container (2) through the wall (9) thereof by means of ultrasound, having an ultrasonic measuring head (12), a controller (20), and a fastening device (24) by means of which the filling level measuring device (10) can be fastened to the container (2) such that the ultrasonic measuring head (12) is pressed against the wall (9) of the container (2). The invention further relates to a method of operating such a filling level measuring device (10), wherein a sampling rate is used which is situation-dependent. The invention finally relates to an assembly made up of such a filling level measuring device and at least one spacer (50) which can be attached to the lower edge of a container (2) to be provided with the filling level measuring device (10).

An electronic liquid level gauge assembly includes an electronic display located in a housing connected to a tank. The display has first and second display portions for indicating liquid level condition. A first electronic sensor senses a change in magnetic field of a magnet associated with a liquid level transducer, with magnet rotation being proportional liquid level change. A processor determines a temperature-compensated liquid level condition by correlating the liquid level signal with temperature measurement of the liquid. A temperature-compensated vapor space can also be calculated based on tank information and properties of the liquid. Signals related to the temperature-compensated liquid level and vapor space are sent to the display and wirelessly transmitted to a smart phone or the like for remotely viewing the tank information. The smart phone also includes a special app for sending information, firmware updates, and display configuration data to the electronic gauge assembly.

An arrangement for a cryogenic system includes a cryogenic tank for storing a cryogenic liquid and a trycock pipe, which trycock pipe has a first end mechanically connected to the cryogenic tank. The trycock pipe includes a tube with a first end fluidly connected to the cryogenic tank for receiving cryogenic liquid from the cryogenic tank. The arrangement further includes a sensor measuring the temperature of the tube. The tube has a second free end opposite to the first end of the tube, which second free end is closed, and the temperature sensor is arranged outside the tube measuring the temperature at the second free end of the tube.

Various cryogenic fluid reporting systems are disclosed. In some embodiments, the system comprises a cart with a base and a load cell. The base can receive and support a cryogenic fluid tank and the weight of the cryogenic fluid tank can be applied to the load cell. The cart can include a transmitter configured to transmit a signal indicative of the weight applied to the load cell. The system can include a receiver configured to receive the signal from the transmitter. The system can include a computing system in communication with the receiver. The computing system can include software configured to correlate the signal indicative of the weight of the cryogenic fluid tank to a fill amount of the tank.

A sealed and thermally insulating tank for storing a fluid, the tank being anchored in a load-bearing structure, the tank having a loading/unloading tower suspended from a ceiling wall of the load-bearing structure, the tank having a support foot that is fastened to the load-bearing structure in a zone of a bottom wall of the tank, the support foot being arranged to guide a vertical translational movement of the loading/unloading tower, the tank having at least one sump that is formed in the bottom wall of the tank, the bottom wall of the tank having a corrugated sealing membrane that is intended to be in contact with the fluid having at least first corrugations extending in a first direction and spaced apart from one another, the sump and the support foot are spaced apart by a distance at least three first corrugations pass between the sump and the support foot.

The present invention relates to a subsea storage system for storing a water miscible storage fluid and methods related thereto.

The present invention provides a control system (10) for managing the supply of bottled gas to users (12), the system comprising: a gas cylinder system (14) having a gas cylinder (15) for receiving and distributing gas contained therein; a first electronic monitoring system (16) associated with said gas cylinder system (14) and operable to monitor parameters associated with said cylinder system (14); a second monitoring system (18) associated with one or more locations (A-F) in which said cylinder may reside and being operable to monitor the presence or absence of said cylinder within said one or more locations (A-F); and a computer system (20) in communication with each of said second monitors (18) for receiving information therefrom relating to the presence or absence of said cylinder system (14) in said one or more locations (A-F).

A control unit for a pressure container system comprising at least one pressure container with a pressure container valve designed to conduct fuel from the pressure container into a removal line for supplying an energy converter. The control unit is designed to determine that a fueling procedure of the pressure container is occurring or has occurred. In response thereto, the control unit is additionally designed to cause the pressure container valve to open in a pulsed manner temporally prior to a removal request for fuel for operating the energy converter so that the pressure in the removal line approximates the pressure in the pressure container.
