A cryogenic liquid storage apparatus includes a storage container configured to accommodate a cryogenic liquid, a heating element configured to be movable from a first position at which the heating element is in contact with the storage container to a second position at which the heating element is spaced from the storage container, and a drive portion configured to selectively provide driving power to the heating element to move the heating element from the second position to the first position, obtaining an advantageous effect of improving efficiency in storing hydrogen.

Fluid supply and storage device, vehicle and method including such a device

A liquefied fuel cryogenic tank has an inner jacket delimiting a fluid storage volume and an outer jacket disposed around the inner jacket with a vacuum thermal insulation gap therebetween. A withdrawal circuit has an assembly of one or more valves and a withdrawal line that has a first heating heat exchanger located outside the inner jacket and a second heating heat exchanger located inside the inner jacket. Fluid flows through the withdrawal line via the first heat exchanger and then the second heat exchanger or via the first heat exchanger without entering the second heat exchanger.
