Abstract: An integrated cryogenic fluid delivery system includes a tank adapted to hold a supply of cryogenic liquid and having an end wall. A shroud is positioned on the end wall and contains a shell and tube heat exchanger. The heat exchanger includes a shell defining a warming fluid chamber and having a shell inlet and a shell outlet in fluid communication with the warming fluid chamber. A number of cryogenic fluid coils are positioned within the warming fluid chamber and are in fluid communication with a cryogenic fluid inlet port and a cryogenic fluid outlet port. A fuel shutoff valve has an inlet in fluid communication with a liquid side of the tank and an outlet in fluid communication with the cryogenic fluid inlet port of the heat exchanger. A manual vent valve has an inlet in fluid communication with a headspace of the tank and an outlet. The fuel shutoff valve and the manual vent valve each have a control knob that is accessible from the first or second side of the shroud.

Abstract: A tank is configured to store a supply of cryogenic liquid and a heat exchanger has a main line and a reheat line. A liquid pickup line directs cryogenic liquid from the tank to the main line of the heat exchanger. A trim heater exit tee receives fluid from the main line of the heat exchanger. Fluid exits the trim heater exit tee through an engine outlet and a trim heater outlet. Fluid exiting through the engine outlet flows through a flow restriction device and to a primary inlet of a trim heater return tee. A trim heater line receives fluid from the trim heater outlet of the trim heater exit tee and directs it to the reheat line of the heat exchanger after the fluid passes through a portion of the trim heater line positioned within the tank. Warmed fluid leaving the reheat line of the heat exchanger travels to a trim heater inlet of the trim heater return tee.
