Definitions
- the dewar is characterized in that between the inner storage tank of the traditional vacuum-jacketed cryogenic storage dewar and the outer shell thereof, there is placed a plurality of spaced-apart radiation shields, the innermost of which is of relatively greater mass than the others and can be reduced in temperature to approximately the level of the stored cryogenic fluid as the dewar is filled.
- This invention pertains to cryogenic storage dewars of the vacuum-jacketed type suitable for storing cryogenic fluids, such as liquid helium, for transporta tion from the source of fillingthe cryogenic fluid to the point of use.
- dewars examples are shown in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,1 l9,238 and 3,304,729.
- an inner tank for holding the cryogenic fluid.
- a shell Surrounding the inner tank in spaced apart relationship therefrom is a shell.
- the dewar also contains a source of a second cryogenic fluid surrounding either the inner tank or one of the radiation shields to provide additional insulation to prevent heat influx to the inner tank.
- Those portions of the dewar inside the shell that do not contain liquid are generally evacuated to further aid in the insulation of the inner tank from ambient temperature.
- the massive shield between the storage tank and the remaining radiation shields in effect creates a large heatsink which drastically reduces the radiant influx to the inner tank.
- FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a cryogenic storage dewar according to the present invention.
- FIG. 2 is a section taken along line 2-2 of FIG. 1.
- a cryogenic storage dewar l0 comprising an inner tank 12 'and an outer shell 14.
- the inner tank 12 contains hollow cylindrical support members l6, 18.
- the support members l6, 18 are fastened to the inner tank 12 as by welding at the surface by suitable circumferential welds not shown.
- the members l6, 18 have suitable closure heads 20, 22 respectively to prevent escape of the fluid from the inner tank 12.
- the outer shell 14 contains a suitable end closure 24 with an end cover 26 to facilitate construction of the tank as is well-known in the art.
- Disposed in the bottom surface 27 of the shell 14 are a plurality of pinned radial support struts shown generally as 28 and 30.
- the support struts 28 and 30 are fastened at the bottom by a suitable plate 32, 34 as by pinned connectors 36 and 39 respectively.
- a suitable plate 32, 34 At the upper end struts 28, 30 are similar pin connections 38, 40 which are in turn connected to hollow cylindrical support members 40 and 42 respectively.
- the hollow support members 40, 42 have suitable receiving members 44, 46 for engaging hollow elon- I gate trunions 48, 50 for supporting the inner vessel in spaced relationship from the shell 14.
- the hollow elongate members 48, 50 are generally fabricated from a non-metallic material sucli as an epoxy glass resin to minimize heat infiltration by conduction.
- Cylindrical member 40 is secured to the end cap 26 as by strut 52 which is pinned to structural member 25 which is fastened as by welding to member 24 to assure positive positioning of the inner vessel as is well-known.
- strut 52 which is pinned to structural member 25 which is fastened as by welding to member 24 to assure positive positioning of the inner vessel as is well-known.
- suitable slide con nections between the radiation shields 54 and 56 and the trunion 50 to allow for normal expansion and contraction of the inner vessel.
- the radiation shield 54 is carried by sleeve members 58 and 60 that are spaced apart from the hollow trunion members 48, 50 by spacers 62, 64 respectively to provide optimum insulation of the radiation shield 54 in respect to the other members of the dewar.
- radiation shield 56 which is carried by hollow cylindrical support members 40 and 42 respectively.
- Radiation shield 56 has spaced apart from it on the closure end of the dewar 10 a second complimentary member 66, which with the complimentary portion of shield 56 fonns a storage vessel for a second cryogenic fluid.
- This source of second cryogenic fluid has a vent pipe 68 containing a liquid trap 70 and a control valve 72 outwardly of the dewar.
- the second cryogenic storage tank has a fill pipe 74 which also contains a liquid trap 76 and an outside valve 78.
- the spaces 80, 82 and 84 are evacuated.
- the spaces 80, 82, and 84 may contain what is known in the art as super-insulation such as layers of a plastic material between which are layers of aluminum foil. It is preferable to provide suitable insulation in space 80.
- the inner tank 12 has disposed therein a fill pipe 86 the lower end of which is disposed at an angle toward the bottom of the tank 12.
- a fill conduit 89 which passes through end cap 90 of fill pipe 86.
- the conduit 89 passes through a further pipe 88 which passes through the second cryogenic fluid tank and is sealed to prevent loss of the second cryogenic fluid but enabling the conduit 89 to pass outwardly of the dewar to a valve 92 for filling the inner tank.
- a second conduit 96 Disposed within the lower portion of tank 12 is a second conduit 96 that is contained within a pipe 92 which contains an end cap 94 to prevent leakage of the stored cryogenic fluid out of the tank 12.
- the conduit 96 passes through the second radiation shield 54 and is disposed there around for at least a major portion of the surface and then passes outwardly of the tank through pipe 88 and to a control valve 98.
- Conduit 96 can be replaced with a plurality of parallel wound conduits which serve to increase the flow area of the cryogenic fluid from tank 12.
- the pipes 92, 86, and 88 are constructed so that the inner areas thereof are evacuated for additional vacuum insulation of the fill and vent pipes 88 and 96 respectively.
- the inner tank 12 may also be provided with a safety pressure relief valve to the atmosphere (not shown) in order to satisfy existing transportation regulations.
- the cryogenic dewar described in connection with FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 is ideally suited for transporting liquid helium over long distances.
- liquid helium has been transmitted from the filling station in the state of Kansas to a user in Japan without the need for continual venting of .the inner tank and con sequently loss of precious helium.
- the dewar After the cryogenic dewar has been constructed and tested to see that there are no leaks and that all vacuum systems are secure the dewar is sent to the place for receiving the charge of liquid helium.
- the second cryogenic storage area is filled through valve 78 and conduit 74 with a second cryogenic fluid such as liquid nitrogen.
- a second cryogenic fluid such as liquid nitrogen.
- the valve 78 When this second vessel is completely filled with liquid nitrogen, the valve 78 is closed and the control valve 72 set.
- the inner tank 12 is then purged with helium.
- the source of helium is connected to conduit 89 via valve 92.
- Valve 98 is opened and valve 92 opened to commence the flow of liquid helium into the tank 12.
- the radiation shield 54 having been brought to approximately the temperature of the liquid helium, it functions as a large heatsink for preventing heat influx to the inner tank 12.
- the second cryogenic liquid nitrogen prevents large heat influx to shield 54. Over-all heat loss is minimized because of the various vacuum-jacketed areas 80, 82, 84 and the multi-layer insulation within the vacuum spaces.
- the relative difference in mass between self-supporting radiation shields as known in the prior art and the radiation shield closest to the inner tank of this invention should be about 1 to 40.
- a dewar for transporting cryogenic fluid with minimum loss by evaporation of the fluid comprising in combination:
- an inner tank for receiving and holding the cryogenic an outer shell spaced apart from and surrounding said inner tank in vacuum tight relationship thereto;
- low conductivity means for supporting said inner tank in spaced relationship from said outer shell; means for preventing heat influx into said inner tank, said means comprising a massive self-supporting radiation shield spaced apart from and surrounding said inner vessel with venting means disposed around a major portion of the surface of said shield, said venting means for venting said inner vessel outwardly of the dewar so that said radiation shield can be precooled during filling of the inner vessel to about 4 K, thereby acting as a large heatsink to prevent heat influx into the inner vessel;
- the inner vessel is supported by a system including hollow elongate trunions of low conductivity material between said inner vessel and said low conductivity support means on the inner surface of said outer shell to minimize heat conduction to said inner vessel.
- a vessel according to claim 1 wherein between said outer shell and said second radiation shield there is disposed a multi-layer super insulation.
- an outer shell with at least one radiation shield of significant mass to act as a heatsink when precooled to approximately 4 K and having an inner vessel vent conduit in intimate contact with a major portion of said shield comprising the steps of:
- the cryogenic fluid to be transported; allowing a portion of the cryogenic fluid to escape from the vent during filling of the vessel to precool the radiation shield and establish the heatsink; filling the inner vessel to capacity;
- first cryogenic fluid is helium and the second cryogenic fluid is nitrogen.
