    Abstract: The methane refrigerant used in each cooling stage of the open methane refrigeration cycle in a Cascade LNG plant is produced by partially evaporating only a portion of the cooled liquid methane passing out of that stage. As a result, capital and operating costs can be reduced, because the flash drums previously used for liquid/gas separation can be totally eliminated. Further capital and operating cost savings are achieved by eliminating the LNG product pumps, relying instead on the pressure of the product LNG passing out of the last cooling stage to drive this product to storage.

    Abstract translation: 在Cascade LNG装置的开放式甲烷制冷循环的每个冷却阶段中使用的甲烷制冷剂是通过部分地仅蒸发一部分冷却的甲烷而产生的。 因此,由于先前用于液/气分离的闪蒸桶可以完全消除,因此可以减少资金和运营成本。 通过消除液化天然气产品泵来实现进一步的资本和运营成本节省,而不是依赖于从最后一个冷却阶段出来的产品LNG的压力,以驱使该产品储存。

    Abstract: A probe assembly for determining a saturation pressure of a liquid includes a manifold having at internal passage and an elongated bulb defining a chamber and having a distal tip portion and a proximal portion. The bulb is secured to the manifold at the proximal end portion with the chamber in fluid communication with the internal passage. A charging port is selectively in fluid communication with the internal passage of the manifold. A pressure transmitter is configured to detect a pressure within the chamber of the elongated bulb.

    Abstract: A cryogenic fluid delivery system includes a tank configured to store a supply of cryogenic liquid and a heat exchanger having a main line and a reheat line. A liquid pickup line has an inlet that receives cryogenic liquid from the tank and directs it to the main line of the heat exchanger. A trim heater exit tee receives fluid from the main line of the heat exchanger. Fluid exits the trim heater exit tee through an engine outlet and a trim heater outlet. Fluid exiting through the engine outlet flows through a flow restriction device and to a primary inlet of a trim heater return tee. A trim heater line receives fluid from the trim heater outlet of the trim heater exit tee and directs it to the reheat line of the heat exchanger after the fluid passes through a portion of the trim heater line positioned within the tank. Warmed fluid leaving the reheat line of the heat exchanger travels to a trim heater inlet of the trim heater return tee.

    Abstract: A cryogenic fluid piping system (fig.2) is provided with two or more coupled pipe spools, each spool having an inner (16) and outer (12) pipe, the inner for carrying cryogenic fluid. The pipe spools are configured with a bayonet connection (22,42) to allow expansion and contraction of the system without failure. A leak control device (24) and pressure relief device (52) are included to protect the system from catastrophic failure in the event of a cryogenic fluid leak from the inner pipe.

    Abstract: A configurable cryogenic storage device has a freezer (120) and a rack carrier positioned inside of the freezer. The freezer includes a bearing (733) and a drive shaft (231) 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 (480). The sample storage racks hang from the rack carrier and the rack-mounting features precisely position the end of each sample storage rack.
