Abstract: When manufacturing a low-temperature tank (1), a plurality of unit tanks (10) that are able to be connected together by mutually different objects, and that are each capable of storing low-temperature liquefied gas are manufactured in a factory that is distant from a construction site. The unit tanks (10) are then transported to the construction site, and an inner tank (2) is then assembled at the construction site by connecting together the plurality of unit tanks (10). An outer tank (3) is then formed around the inner tank (2).

Abstract: A fail safe container and container insert are disclosed. A flexible container insert may convert energy from a catastrophic event, including but not limited to collisions, accidents, impacts, pressure container failures or explosions such as detonations, or other catastrophic incidents, into a stretching of an internal structure of a fail-safe container insert to minimize or prevent failure of the container insert and/or the container. The stretchability of the container insert may accommodate both temperature and shape changes to protect a container, including but not limited to a pressure vessel, from rupture or other failure. Accordingly, a container insert may be considered self-healing in that it may absorb the effects of catastrophic events to prevent failure, may return to a generally previous condition, and/or may seal or otherwise reduce or minimize breaches when they do occur.

Abstract: An operating method is provided for a cryo-compressed tank for supplying cryogenic hydrogen to a consumer of a motor vehicle under supercritical pressure at 13 bar or more. In order to compensate for pressure loss resulting from hydrogen removal, the removed hydrogen that has been heated in a heat exchanger is conveyed to a heat exchanger, provided in the cryo-compressed tank, by way of a tank pressure regulating valve and a branch line, which branches off of a supply line leading to the consumer. After flowing through the heat exchanger, it is introduced into the supply line downstream of the branching off of the branch line. Over a period of time that significantly exceeds the cycle times of a conventional frequency valve, either the removed amount of hydrogen is guided without limitation into the heat exchanger, provided in the cryo-compressed tank, the tank pressure regulating valve being completely open, or no return of the heated hydrogen into the heat exchanger occurs at all. Downstream of the branching off of the branch line, the supply line has a pressure regulating unit, which ensures that irrespective of the changes in the pressure in the supply line caused upstream of the pressure regulating unit by switching the tank pressure regulating valve, a sufficient and continuous supply of hydrogen to the consumer at the pressure required is guaranteed.
