Abstract
A gas displacement assembly includes a storage container, a pump that pumps a pressurized gas material into the storage container, a cooling chamber that houses a coolant and cools the gas material to a cryogenic temperature, and a coolant line that transports coolant through the cooling chamber to cool the gas material.
Claims17
A gas displacement assembly, comprising:
- a storage container;
- a single pump that pumps a pressurized gas material into the storage container;
- a cooling chamber that houses a coolant and that cools the pressurized gas material to a cryogenic temperature, wherein the single pump receives the pressurized gas material from the cooling chamber and pumps the pressurized gas material into the storage container;
- a cooling tower, wherein the single pump transmits the pressurized gas material through the cooling tower before the pressurized gas material reaches the storage container to further cool the pressurized gas material;
- and
- a coolant line that transports the coolant through the cooling chamber.

A gas displacement pump assembly, comprising:
- a storage container;
- a single pump that pumps a gas material into the storage container;
- a vessel housing a supply of coolant;
- a cooling chamber;
- a coolant line that transfers coolant from the vessel to the cooling chamber;
- a gas source;
- and
- a gas line that transmits a gas material from the gas source through the cooling chamber and to the pump;
- a cooling tower, wherein the single pump transmits the gas material through the cooling tower before the gas material reaches the storage container;
- wherein the cooling chamber cools the gas material to a cryogenic temperature before the gas material reaches the single pump.

A method of transferring a gas material into a storage container, comprising:
- providing the gas material;
- providing the storage container;
- providing a gas displacement pump assembly having a cooling chamber, a single pump, a vessel housing a supply of coolant, and a coolant line, and a gas line, wherein the pump assembly further comprises a cooling tower;
- transmitting coolant from the vessel, and through the coolant line to the cooling chamber;
- transmitting the gas material through the gas line into the cooling chamber;
- cooling the gas material to a cryogenic temperature in the cooling chamber to generate a cooled gas material;
- transmitting the cooled gas material from the cooling chamber to the single pump;
- pumping the cooled gas material into the storage container;
- transmitting the gas material through the cooling tower after pumping the cooled gas material and before the cooled gas material enters the storage container.
