Abstract: A storage tank includes a storage chamber configured to store a working fluid such as for example a cryogenic fluid. The storage tank has a first skin forming the storage chamber and a second skin positioned radially outwardly of the first skin. An insulation cavity is formed between the first skin and the second skin. A sensor configured to detect the presence of a substance in the insulation cavity is provided, wherein the substance is usually present in an environment external to the storage tank but not in the working fluid stored

Abstract: There is provided a cryogenic link and a method of installing a cryogenic link. The cryogenic link comprises: a core and a cryostat. The cryostat comprises a flexible sleeve around the core and is configured to maintain a temperature of the core at a cryogenic temperature. The cryostat further comprises spacing means configured to maintain a spacing between the core and the flexible sleeve during expansion and contraction of the core. The flexible sleeve is suitable for fixing to an external structure at a plurality of fixed points, where each of the plurality of fixed points is separated by a distance, and a length of the cryogenic link between at least one pair of fixed points is greater than the distance between that pair of fixed points.

Abstract: A pressure vessel includes a body defined by a cross-sectional shape along a plane transverse to a centerline. The cross-sectional shape includes an inner surface defining an interior void and a wall extending from the inner surface to an outer surface defining an exterior of the body. The inner surface includes an arcuate region and a gabled region. The gabled region forms a curved interior peak opposite a center of the arcuate region. The arcuate region and the gabled region together define a teardrop shape. The wall includes a curved segment along the arcuate region having a curved segment minimum thickness at a location opposite the interior peak, an apex aligned with the interior peak and having an apex thickness, and thickened regions adjacent intersections between gabled region and the arcuate region and having greater radial thickness than the curved segment minimum thickness.

Abstract: A cryogen storage vessel at an installation is filled with liquid cryogen from a liquid cryogen storage tank that has a pressure lower than that of the vessel. After headspaces of the vessel and tank are placed in fluid communication with another via a gas transfer vessel and are pressure-balanced, a pump in a liquid transfer line connected between the tank and the vessel is operated to transfer amounts of liquid cryogen from the tank to the vessel via the liquid transfer line and pump as amounts of gaseous cryogen are transferred, through displacement by the pumped cryogenic liquid, from the vessel to the tank.

Abstract: A freezer system that uses liquid cryogen as a refrigerant for a freezer. The freezer includes an inner vessel defining a storage chamber and a vapor space, an outer shell that surrounds and is separated from the inner vessel to define an insulation space between the inner vessel and the outer shell, and an access opening extending between the outer shell and inner vessel to facilitate the insertion and removal of samples. An atomizing nozzle is positioned within the vapor space and is configured to receive a flow of liquid cryogen and to produce a flow of atomized liquid cryogen that vaporizes within the vapor space to thereby cool the vapor space. A controller is configured to control the flow of liquid cryogen to the freezer.
