    Abstract: This disclosure discusses providing safer and more accessible insulating cold boxes for cryogenic equipment. A cold box of the current invention includes a housing partially extending out of the cold box jacket wherein equipment that may need to be accessed can be located. The housing includes a breakaway barrier between the main cold box and the external housing to allow overpressures to be relieved into the cold box. Cold boxes may contain cryogenic columns, sections of cryogenic columns, distillation columns, mixing columns, storage vessels, pressure vessels, heat exchangers, and combinations thereof. The housing may contain auxiliary elements such as rotating equipment, pumps, turboexpanders, instrument devices, valves, and piping. Placing auxiliary elements in a housing outside the main cold box allows for safer access to cryogenic equipment.

    Abstract: A housing has a vertical separation wall. The vertical separation wall forms a filling chamber on one side. The housing has a horizontal separation wall on the other side. The horizontal separation wall forms a cooling chamber. A quantity of a liquid in the filling chamber has an apertured horizontal plate at about the middle elevation of the filling chamber. A smaller end-user tank is provided on the plate. The level of liquid is sufficient to immerse the lower portion of a smaller end-user tank. An air conditioning system includes a compressor unit located in the cooling chamber. The air conditioning system includes a refrigerant coil in the filling chamber beneath the plate. A large supply tank of gas is laterally displaced from the housing. A supply tube connects the large supply tank with the smaller end-user tank within the housing.

    Abstract: A relatively low pressure inert gas hazard suppression system (20) is provided which is designed to protect a room (22) or the like from the effects of fire or other hazard. The system (20) includes a plurality of pressurized inert gas cylinders (24) each equipped with a valve unit (26); each valve unit (26) is in turn coupled via a conduit (28) to a delivery manifold (30). The respective valve units (26) are operable to deliver gas from the cylinders (24) at a generally constant pressure (usually around 10-100 bar) throughout a substantial portion of the time of gas delivery, to thereby provide effective hazard suppression without the need for expensive high-pressure gas handling and distribution hardware and a reduction in room venting area due to lower room over-pressurization. Each valve unit (26) has a valve body (48) and a shiftable piston-type sealing member (56). Gas pressure from the cylinder (24) and a spring assembly (184) biases the member 56 to the valve open position, this being counterbalanced by gas pressure within equalization and modulation chambers (180, 182) provided in the valve unit (26). When a hazard is detected, the valve units (26) are actuated by draining of gas from the modulation chambers (182), allowing gas flow from the cylinders (24). As gas discharge proceeds, gas flows into and out of the modulation chambers (182) so as to achieve the desired generally constant pressure gas output. Near the end of gas discharge, the spring assembly (184) becomes predominant and holds the valve unit (26) open until all gas is discharged.
