A mount for a double-walled vessel includes a first support to support the mount against an outer wall of the double-walled vessel, a second support to support the mount against an inner wall of the double-walled vessel, and a flexible member connecting the first support and the second support. The first support and can be arranged at a first end of the flexible member and the second support can be arranged at a second end of the flexible member opposite to the first end. Further described are a vessel including at least one such mount as well as a vehicle including such vessel.

A tank system and method for storing cryogenic liquids includes a support cooling channel to reduce heat leak into the vessel of a fuel tank. The fuel tank may store either liquid natural gas or liquid hydrogen or another cryogenic liquid. A cooling fluid is transferred from a second vessel into the support cooling channel of the fuel tank.

A cryogenic dewar may include an inner tank and an outer tank. The cryogenic dewar may further include one or more longitudinal stiffeners coupled to the inner tank at locations of stress that provide resistance to such stress. The inner vessel may include a combination of longitudinal stiffeners to allow the dewar to meet governmental imposed regulations on strength and safety of the dewar without increasing the weight of the dewar or to increase the amount by weight of cryogenic liquid that can be transported under governmental imposed regulations, or both, by, with the addition of longitudinal stiffeners, simultaneously increasing the grade of the material of the inner tank.

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.

An insulation arrangement for an ocean-going ship comprising a modular arrangement of panels, each panel comprising a first cold layer and an opposing ambient layer and a volume therebetween arranged in use to be evacuated to create a vacuum.

An insulation arrangement for an ocean-going ship comprising a modular arrangement of panels, each panel comprising a first cold layer and an opposing ambient layer and a volume therebetween arranged in use to be evacuated to create a vacuum.

Provided are vacuum-insulated articles that comprise an evacuated space disposed between first and second walls and a reflective material disposed within the evacuated space. Also provided are methods of fabricating such articles.
