Abstract
A dewar vessel storage apparatus configured to hold at least two dewar vessels containing liquefied gas or cryo-compressed gas, comprising; a box having an outer, thermally insulating, wall; the box comprising a plurality of insulating cavities, each cavity configured to receive a single dewar vessel and is thermally insulated from each other cavity; a thermally insulating closure arrangement configured to close an open end of each cavity; a ventilation assembly comprising at least one conduit within the box configured to provide for venting of gas released from the dewar vessels when stored in the respective cavities of the box, the ventilation assembly configured to provide a gas outlet flow path from each cavity.
Claims16
A dewar vessel storage apparatus configured to hold at least two dewar vessels containing liquefied gas or cryo-compressed gas, comprising;
- a box having an outer, thermally insulating, wall;
- the box comprising a plurality of insulating cavities, each cavity configured to receive a single dewar vessel and is thermally insulated from each other cavity;
- each cavity including a separately removable thermally insulating bung configured to close an open end of its cavity;
- a ventilation assembly comprising at least one conduit within the box configured to provide for venting of gas released from the dewar vessels when said dewar vessels are stored in the respective cavities of the box, the ventilation assembly configured to provide a gas outlet flow path from each cavity;
- in which each cavity's open end and its associated bung is configured complimentary to the shape of the dewar vessel it is configured to receive such that there is substantially no air space when the dewar vessel is received in the cavity and the bung is in place.
