Abstract:
High-pressure cryogenic fluid conduits that deliver high-pressure cryogenic fluids from a first point to a second point. This high-pressure fluid conduit has a safety feature that is activated when the high-pressure cryogenic fluid conduit fails due to exposure to a predetermined force. The safety feature is activated by the fracture of an annular ring that is positioned at either end of the high-pressure fluid conduit and is calibrated to fracture when exposed to the predetermined force. Fracture of the annular ring closes valves at each end of the high-pressure fluid conduit, thereby stopping the flow of high-pressure fluid from the high-pressure fluid source as well as the escape of high-pressure fluid from the high-pressure fluid container.
