    Abstract: In a propellant tank, which especially stores cryogenic propellants, for example a fuel or an oxidizer for a spacecraft, and which operates with a driving gas to drive or convey the propellant, the propellant is separated from the driving gas in a propellant extraction apparatus using sieves with hydrostatic forces and capillary forces. The extraction apparatus includes a refillable reservoir, which is mounted near the tank floor outside of the tank shell, and which is connected via plural holes with the interior of the propellant tank. The extraction apparatus includes a double-walled housing that is thermally insulated. Capillary plates and struts are inserted in an L-shape into the reservoir. To substantially prevent the penetration of gas out of the propellant line, a cylinder-shaped pleated sieve is mounted at the end of the propellant line.

    Abstract: A vessel for containing a fluid under pressure comprises essentially flat parallel surfaces connected by hemispherical edge closures. Internal tension members are connected between the parallel surfaces to distribute the pressure of the fluid in the vessel. The shape of the vessel can be generally square, triangular, toroidal, or other variation to conform to an available space. The skin of the vessel, the hemispheric edge closures, and the internal tension members are typically fabricated from a high strength lightweight material, such as titanium.

    Abstract: A liquid and gas tank is provided for operation, in particular, in satellites subject to low acceleration, that utilizes a separation force produced by surface tension to collect liquid in a privileged zone of the tank without allowing gas to escape via the privileged zone. The tank includes an outer first shell element having a curvilinear shape, and having at one end a surface portion S of radius of curvature r which is concave on a side that contacts liquid. The tank also includes an inner second shell element fixed to the first element, being convex in shape on a side that contacts liquid, and curvilinear in shape and including a surface portion S' having a part which is slightly inclined relative to the surface portion S in the privileged zone forming a narrowest zone between the surface portions S and S', the surface portion S' having a radius of curvature r' which is less than the radius of curvature r, wherein liquid is urged into the narrowest zone due to a capillary effect. The tank further includes at least one liquid drawing-off element opening out into the narrowest zone lying between the surface portions S and S'.

    Abstract: A pressurized container of compound material, such as fiber compound matel for holding a pressurized fluid in said container has a torus shaped body with a fluid tight inner container member and an outer supporting winding shell for relieving the inner container member of stress. The outer winding shell is made, for example, of fibers, threading or wires forming the winding and held together by a binding agent such as a resin or epoxy resin. The torus shaped body has a gusset type angular shape along or around its small inner circumference, whereby a furrow is formed. A further support winding (6) is located in said furrow around the small circumference and extends normal to the meridian. The supporting winding shell (5) extending around the torus shaped body and the further support winding (6) extending around the small circumference of the torus shaped body cooperate in achieving an optimal stress distribution and thus a very advantageous load distribution between the inner container member and the outer supporting winding shell.
