    Abstract: In a propellant tank, which especially serves for storing cryogenic propellants, for example of spacecraft, and which is operated with a driving gas serving as a conveying medium, the separation of the propellant from the driving gas occurs in a propellant extraction apparatus by means of sieves and with the use of hydrostatic forces and capillary forces. The extraction apparatus has the form of a refillable reservoir, which is mounted in the vicinity of the tank floor outside of the tank shell on the floor region of the propellant tank, and which is connected via a number of holes with the interior of the propellant tank. The extraction apparatus itself consists of a double-walled housing and is additionally thermally insulated. Capillary plates and additional struts are inserted in an L-shape into the reservoir. Furthermore, 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 bubble trap is especially suitable for separating gas bubbles from liquid fuel supplied from a fuel tank in a spacecraft. The bubble trap includes a rotationally symmetrical collecting container forming a container wall, plural liquid guide vanes extending radially and longitudinally along the inside of the container wall, a perforated conical gas separator that tapers conically toward an outlet of the collecting container, and screens arranged between the gas separator and the outlet.

    Abstract: A fuel tank of a spacecraft stores a liquid fuel and a pressurized propellant gas that drives the fuel out of the tank though a fuel extraction arrangement including a reservoir or fuel collection container and a tank outlet. A spiraling or J-shaped or hook-shaped fuel collection channel and plural obliquely sloping fuel flow channels connect the fuel collection container to an outlet pipe of the tank outlet. The channels are configured, dimensioned, oriented and arranged to ensure that fuel will be retained in the outlet pipe without leaking back into the fuel tank, even when the tank is oriented horizontally and has a low tank filling level. These structures produce a capillary pumping effect and use the surface tension to separate the fuel from the propellant gas, and allow the inner space of the collection container to be completely filled with liquid fuel.
