Cryogenic storage system with sensors to measure one or more parameters therewithin

A method of operating a cryogenic storage system, the method comprising:

• sensing a temperature in a temperature controlled environment of a cryogenic storage tank with a first temperature sensor positioned within the temperature controlled environment;
• sensing a temperature in the temperature controlled environment with a second temperature sensor positioned within the temperature controlled environment at a location below the first temperature sensor;
• detecting the temperature sensed by the second temperature sensor rising above a first threshold by a control system communicatively coupled to the second temperature sensor;
• in response to the control system detecting the temperature sensed by the second temperature sensor rising above the first threshold, opening passage through a port of the cryogenic storage tank via the control system, which is operably coupled to the port;
• increasing an amount of cryogenic medium within the temperature controlled environment while passage through the port is open;
• detecting the temperature sensed by the first temperature sensor dropping below a second threshold by the control system, which is communicatively coupled to the first temperature sensor;
• in response to the control system detecting the temperature sensed by the first temperature sensor dropping below the second threshold, closing passage through the port via the control system, wherein closing passage through the port blocks additional cryogenic medium from entering the temperature controlled environment via the port.

• sensing a temperature in the temperature controlled environment with a second temperature sensor positioned within the temperature controlled environment at a location below the first temperature sensor;
• generating an output that includes both the temperature sensed by the first temperature sensor and the temperature sensed by the second temperature sensor, the output further including an estimated amount of time remaining before the temperature sensed by the second temperature sensor increases above a threshold temperature;
• and
• sending the output to at least one user interface;
• and
• displaying the temperature sensed by the first temperature sensor, the temperature sensed by the second temperature sensor;
• and the estimated amount of time remaining before the temperature sensed by the second temperature sensor increases above the threshold temperature with the at least one user interface.
