    摘要: A multiple storage tank system includes: storage tanks in which cryogenic fluid is stored; discharge lines connected to the storage tanks to discharge the stored cryogenic fluid or introduce cryogenic fluid; a supply line connected to the discharge lines and a supply target to supply the discharged cryogenic fluid to the supply target; a build-up line branching off the supply line to control internal pressure of a first storage tank of the storage tanks; and a gas transfer line connected to the storage tanks to transfer gas inside the storage tanks, wherein when the internal pressure of the first storage tank is controlled while the cryogenic fluid passes through the build-up line, gas inside the first storage tank is transferred to at least one other storage tank through the gas transfer line so that internal pressure of the at least one other storage tank is controlled.

    摘要: Pressure vessel (52) for storing a fluid in an interior (58), having a vessel opening (55) for conducting the fluid out of the interior of the pressure vessel and a connecting member (62) for fixing the connecting member to the pressure vessel in a fluid-tight manner, the connecting member comprising: a connecting element (63) having an opening (65) for conducting the fluid through the vessel opening in the pressure vessel and through the opening in the connecting element; a mechanism (79) for form-fittingly and detachably fixing the connecting element to the pressure vessel such that the connecting element rests on the pressure vessel with a compressive force, wherein the mechanism comprises a first tensioning lever (80) and a second tensioning lever (81), which are connected pivotably relative to one another to a connecting joint such that, when the first tensioning lever and second tensioning lever are in a fixing position relative to one another, a compressive force is applied with the mechanism to the connecting element, and the connecting element bears against the pressure vessel with the compressive force.

    摘要: A method of operating a hydrostatically compensated compressed air energy storage system comprising to inhibit champagne effect conditions, can include charging the system; changing the system into a storage mode; and before a dissolved gas concentration in a layer of compensation liquid exceeds a champagne effect saturation threshold, operating the system in a dilution cycle mode that can include i) discharging at least a portion of the compressed air from the accumulator thereby drawing additional compensation liquid having a lower dissolved gas concentration than the liquid in the layer of compensation liquid into the accumulator, and ii) re-charging the system by conveying additional compressed air into the layer of compressed air in the accumulator thereby displacing a corresponding amount of compensation liquid from the layer of compensation liquid into a compensation liquid flow path and returning the system to the storage mode.

    摘要: The invention relates to a submersible system (1) comprising at least a first frame structure (2) for horizontal storage of tanks (3) with a positive buoyancy in water therein, wherein the first frame structure (1) has a negative buoyancy in water and comprises at least two storage positions (4) for supporting at least two tanks (3), wherein the storage positions (4) are arranged side by side in one level and each storage position comprises at least one cradle (4) for supporting a tank (3) from below, and wherein the system (1) comprises a fastening device (6,11) having a first and a second state, wherein: i. when in the first state, the fastening device (6,11) is configured to permit positioning of a tank (3) from above into the at least one cradle (4) and; ii. when in the second state, the fastening device (6,11) is configured to secure a tank (3) positioned in the at least one cradle (4) in a radial direction of the tank (3) preventing movement of the tank (3) in a vertical upward direction; and wherein a total buoyancy of the system (1) when submerged in water, when tanks (3) are positioned in each of the storage positions, is negative. The invention also relates to an associated method of storing tanks on a seabed using the submersible system (1).
