CRYOGENIC CONTAINMENT SYSTEM

A cryogenic fluid containment system (100) is disclosed. The system (100) can store a fluid such as hydrogen at a cryogenic temperature and pressure. As the fluid naturally warms, boil-off fluid is produced by the fluid and can be directed to a backup power system (128) (128) that is configured to c...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A cryogenic fluid containment system (100) is disclosed. The system (100) can store a fluid such as hydrogen at a cryogenic temperature and pressure. As the fluid naturally warms, boil-off fluid is produced by the fluid and can be directed to a backup power system (128) (128) that is configured to consume the boil-off fluid. The boil-off fluid being extracted from the cryogenic fluid containment system (100) causes additional boil-off fluid to be generated from the fluid and refrigerate the fluid within the cryogenic fluid containment system (100). Additionally, the boil-off fluid can be monitored over time such that as the boil-off fluid accumulates within the storage tank (114) (114), a boil-off controller (136) (136) can determine whether the boil-off fluid is to be extracted from the storage tank (114) (114). The boil-off controller (136) (136) can enable the fluid to be maintained below a pressure threshold within the storage tank (114) (114).
