    Abstract: A storage tank for storing and selectively dispensing pressurized combustible fluid comprises a main tank having a delivery outlet, and a first valve mounted on the main tank in fluid communication with the delivery outlet for controlling the flow of the pressurized combustible fluid from within the main tank to the ambient surroundings. A reserve tank is mounted in supported relation on the main tank and has a reserve outlet disposed within the main tank to permit direct fluid delivery from the reserve tank into the main tank. A selectively openable and closable second valve is mounted on one of the main tank and the reserve tank in operative connection with the reserve outlet for selective movement between a closed configuration whereat flow of the pressurized combustible fluid from the reserve tank through the reserve outlet to the main tank is precluded, and an open configuration whereat flow of the pressurized combustible fluid from the reserve tank through the reserve outlet to the main tank is permitted.

    Abstract: A dual-chamber composite pressure vessel includes a first enclosure formed of a fiber reinforced resin matrix, having a hollow cylindrical central section, and first and second oblate end sections formed integrally over respective ends of the central section to define a first chamber. Also included is a second enclosure formed of a fiber-reinforced resin matrix, integrally with the first enclosure, and having a second hollow cylindrical section which is joined at one end to and extends from the second end section co-cylindrically with the central section of the first enclosure. The second enclosure also includes a third oblate end section formed integrally over the other end of the second cylindrical section to define a second chamber.

    Abstract: The storage tank consists of a main tank and ullage tank connected by a relatively small passage having a flow rate capacity up to 30% of the main fill line. To fill the tank, liquid cryogen is delivered to the main tank by either a top or bottom fill. Because the fill line is significantly larger than the passage, the main tank will become liquid full while the ullage tank remains substantially empty. When the tank becomes liquid full a dramatic drop in the flow rate will result that can be detected by a relatively insensitive, and inexpensive, flow monitoring device thereby to stop the filling operation. The ullage tank will retain trapped gas and gradually allow the liquid from the main tank to enter the ullage tank through the passage until the liquid level in the tanks are equal. Once the liquid levels in the tanks equalize, a vapor space is created above the liquid to accommodate vaporizing cryogen and provide long hold times.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a cryostat, in particular a helium cryostat with an additional nitrogen tank and a vacuum section, comprising a pressure-relief cover arranged at the outside of the tank wall of the cryostat for closing an opening therein. A locking device by which the said pressure-relief cover is retained in position on the tank wall of the cryostat and which, in its closed position, urges the pressure-relief cover against the edge of the tank opening, under the action of a spring, in such a way that the pressure-relief cover is permitted to be lifted off slightly in the presence of a slight overpressure, against the action of a spring, while in the presence of an important overpressure the locking device assumes its open position in which the pressure-relief cover is released from the tank opening, urges the pressure-relief cover automatically against the tank wall so as to close the opening of the tank edge again after a slight overpressure has been released, but releases the opening when an important overpressure prevails in the cryostat. This arrangement prevents damages to the cryostat and avoids the risks connected therewith.

    Abstract: A liquid-propellant tank for a spacecraft is symmetric about a longitudinal axis, and has a transverse partition (15) and a truncated conical partition (16), which divide the interior of the tank into a remote chamber (20), a proximate peripheral chamber (21) and a proximate axial chamber (22). Communication between the remote chamber (20) and the proximate peripheral chamber (21) is provided by a port structure (23), and communication between the proximate peripheral chamber (21) and the proximate axial chamber (22) is provided by a port structure (24). As liquid propellant is withdrawn from the tank, pressurant gas in the remote chamber (20) causes liquid propellant to pass from the remote chamber (20) into the proximate peripheral chamber (21) to replace liquid propellant thereby forced from the proximate peripheral chamber (21) into the proximate axial chamber (22), which replaces the liquid propellant withdrawn from the tank. Emptying of the three chambers in sequence limits the extent of migration of liquid propellant within the tank, thereby minimizing the effects of liquid-propellant migration on attitude stability of the spacecraft.
