Abstract: A cryogenic tank assembly includes a cryogenic tank having an internal volume that is configured to contain liquefied natural gas (LNG). The cryogenic tank includes an inlet and an outlet that are each fluidly connected to the internal volume. The assembly includes a recirculation conduit coupled in fluid communication between the inlet and the outlet. The recirculation conduit extends along a path between the inlet and outlet external to the internal volume of the cryogenic tank such that the path is configured to be exposed to an ambient environment of the cryogenic tank. The recirculation conduit is configured to: receive a flow of LNG from the internal volume through the outlet; transfer heat from the ambient environment to the LNG flow to change the LNG flow to a flow of natural gas; and inject the natural gas flow into the internal volume of the cryogenic tank through the inlet.

Abstract: A new procedure for constructing cryogenic storage tanks involves erecting a freestanding metal liner. The liner is sized and configured to withstand the hydraulic forces the concrete wall of the tank being poured without the need for temporary stiffeners on the inside surface of lower portions of the liner. Lateral tension ties can be connected to anchor ties on an outward surface of the liner and used to tie the liner to outer formwork. These ties may be spaced up to about 2 m apart. Studs can also be provided on the outer surface of the liner, and a cylindrical ring of cryogenic steel can be integrated into the liner.

Abstract: A hydrogen storage composition, a hydrogen storage container and a method for producing the hydrogen storage container are provided. The hydrogen storage composition includes a thermally-conductive material, a hydrogen storage material, and optionally an elastic material. The hydrogen storage container includes a canister body and the hydrogen storage composition. After the hydrogen storage composition is placed into a canister body, a vacuum environment within the canister body is created, and a first weight of the canister body is recorded. Then, hydrogen gas is activated and charged into the canister body, and a second weight of the canister body is recorded. Then, a hydrogen storage amount is calculated according to the first weight and the second weight. If the hydrogen storage amount reaches the predetermined value, the hydrogen storage container is produced.

Abstract: In a high-pressure tank including a reinforcement layer and a protective layer, using the same resin for the reinforcement layer and the protective layer is likely to cause bubbles produced in the course of curing the resin to remain on the surface of the tank. There is also a possibility that cloudiness occurs on the surface of the tank during the use of the high-pressure tank. There is accordingly provided a high-pressure tank, comprising a liner; a reinforcement layer formed on the liner and including a thermosetting first resin and a fiber; and a protective layer formed on the reinforcement layer and including a thermosetting second resin. A second gelation temperature that is a gelation temperature of the second resin is higher than a first gelation temperature that is a gelation temperature of the first resin. A viscosity of the second resin is lower than a viscosity of the first resin at the first gelation temperature.
