Abstract: A dewar for storing a cryogenic fluid features an inner vessel configured to store the cryogenic fluid and an outer vessel having an outer upper head and an outer lower head. The outer upper and lower heads are joined so as to define an interior chamber of the dewar. The inner vessel is positioned within the interior chamber of the outer vessel so that an insulation space, which is evacuated of air, is defined between the inner and outer vessels. A neck extends between the inner vessel and a central region of the outer upper head. The outer upper head and neck are configured so that the central region permanently deforms without breaking the neck when excessive shock loads are applied to the dewar.

Abstract: A vaporizer system (1) includes a defrosting function along with the ability to convert liquefied gas to a use gas. The vaporizer system includes first (10) and second (20) vaporizers and piping (11) that transfers fluid from an inlet port (80) to an outlet port (90) with a portion of the piping being between the first and second vaporizer. The system also includes a trim heater (30) and a number of valves (51-54,61-64) for regulating flow of the fluid through the transfer piping. The valves may be placed in a first configuration where vapor from the first vaporizer is heated and directed to the second vaporizer so that the second vaporizer is defrosted and a second configuration where vapor from the second vaporizer is heated and directed to the first vaporizer so that the first vaporizer is defrosted.

Abstract: A system for dispensing a cryogenic fluid includes a bulk storage tank configured to contain a supply of the cryogenic fluid, A heat exchanger coil is positioned in the headspace of at least one intermediate fluid tank, which contains an intermediate fluid, and is configured to receive and warm a cryogenic fluid from the bulk storage tank via heat exchange with intermediate fluid vapor in the headspace. A buffer tank receives fluid from the heat exchanger coil. A chiller coil is positioned within the intermediate fluid tank and is submerged within intermediate fluid liquid contained within the at least one intermediate fluid tank. The chiller coil receives fluid from the buffer tank and cools it via heat exchange with intermediate fluid liquid within which the chiller coil is submerged for dispensing.

Abstract: A configurable cryogenic storage device has a freezer and a rack carrier positioned inside of the freezer. The freezer includes a bearing and a drive shaft though the freezer, the drive shaft being coupled to the rack carrier inside the freezer and adapted to be coupled to a motor assembly. The rack carrier rests on the bearing in a manual rotation configuration and hangs from the drive shaft when the motor is connected. Coupling the drive shaft to the motor assembly lifts the rack carrier and decouples the bearing and enables automated rotation of the rack carrier by the motor. The rack carrier includes rack-mounting features holding a plurality of sample storage racks. The sample storage racks hang from the rack carrier and the rack-mounting features precisely position the end of each sample storage rack.

Abstract: A system and method for cooling and liquefying a gas in a heat exchanger that includes compressing and cooling a mixed refiigerant using first and last compression and cooling cycles so that high pressure liquid and vapor streams are formed, The high pressure liquid and vapor streams are cooled in the heat exchanger and then expanded so that a primary refrigeration stream is provided in the heat exchanger. The mixed refrigerant is cooled and equilibrated between the first and last compression and cooling cycles so that a pre-cool liquid stream is formed and subcooled in the heat exchanger. The stream is then expanded and passed through the heat exchanger as a pre-cool refrigeration stream. A stream of gas is passed through the heat exchanger in countercurrent heat exchange with the primary refrigeration stream and the pre-cool refrigeration stream so that the gas is cooled.
