    Abstract: A storage tank for storing and selectively dispensing pressurized combustible fluid comprises a main tank having a delivery outlet, and a first valve mounted on the main tank in fluid communication with the delivery outlet for controlling the flow of the pressurized combustible fluid from within the main tank to the ambient surroundings. A reserve tank is mounted in supported relation on the main tank and has a reserve outlet disposed within the main tank to permit direct fluid delivery from the reserve tank into the main tank. A selectively openable and closable second valve is mounted on one of the main tank and the reserve tank in operative connection with the reserve outlet for selective movement between a closed configuration whereat flow of the pressurized combustible fluid from the reserve tank through the reserve outlet to the main tank is precluded, and an open configuration whereat flow of the pressurized combustible fluid from the reserve tank through the reserve outlet to the main tank is permitted.

    Abstract: A dual-chamber composite pressure vessel includes a first enclosure formed of a fiber reinforced resin matrix, having a hollow cylindrical central section, and first and second oblate end sections formed integrally over respective ends of the central section to define a first chamber. Also included is a second enclosure formed of a fiber-reinforced resin matrix, integrally with the first enclosure, and having a second hollow cylindrical section which is joined at one end to and extends from the second end section co-cylindrically with the central section of the first enclosure. The second enclosure also includes a third oblate end section formed integrally over the other end of the second cylindrical section to define a second chamber.

    Abstract: The storage tank consists of a main tank and ullage tank connected by a relatively small passage having a flow rate capacity up to 30% of the main fill line. To fill the tank, liquid cryogen is delivered to the main tank by either a top or bottom fill. Because the fill line is significantly larger than the passage, the main tank will become liquid full while the ullage tank remains substantially empty. When the tank becomes liquid full a dramatic drop in the flow rate will result that can be detected by a relatively insensitive, and inexpensive, flow monitoring device thereby to stop the filling operation. The ullage tank will retain trapped gas and gradually allow the liquid from the main tank to enter the ullage tank through the passage until the liquid level in the tanks are equal. Once the liquid levels in the tanks equalize, a vapor space is created above the liquid to accommodate vaporizing cryogen and provide long hold times.

    Abstract translation: 储罐由一个主槽和一个相当小的通道连接的排水箱组成,流量可以达到主填充管线的30%。 为了填充油箱,液体冷冻剂通过顶部或底部填充物输送到主油箱。 因为填充线明显大于通道,所以主油箱将在液体充满的同时保持空白。 当罐变得液体充满时,流量的显着下降将导致可以通过相对不敏感且廉价的流量监测装置来检测,从而停止填充操作。 排空罐将保留被捕获的气体,并逐渐允许来自主罐的液体通过通道进入排空罐,直到罐中的液面相等。 一旦罐中的液面均匀化,就会在液体上方产生蒸汽空间,以适应蒸发的冷冻剂并提供较长的保持时间。
