Abstract
The invention relates to a system including a cryogenic container, in particular an LNG container or a hydrogen container, an external heat exchanger and an internal heat exchanger with a pressure management system. The system also includes at least one of the following selectively connectable bypass lines for the temporary reduction of pressure losses: a first bypass line for the first heat exchanger tube of the external heat exchanger; a second bypass line for the second heat exchanger tube; a third bypass line for the internal heat exchanger.

1-10. (canceled)
A system comprising:
- a cryogenic container which is one of an LNG container or a hydrogen container,
- an external heat exchanger and an internal heat exchanger,
- wherein the external heat exchanger includes a medium inlet and a medium outlet for a heat exchange medium and the internal heat exchanger is arranged within the cryogenic container for utilizing the cryogenic fluid located in the cryogenic container as the heat exchange medium,
- wherein the external heat exchanger comprises a first heat exchanger tube with a first inlet and a first outlet and a second heat exchanger tube with a second inlet and a second outlet, or wherein the external heat exchanger comprises only a first heat exchanger tube with a first inlet and a first outlet, and
- the system furthermore comprises a further external heat exchanger with a second heat exchanger tube with a second inlet and a second outlet;
- wherein the internal heat exchanger comprises a third inlet and a third outlet;
- wherein a removal line of the cryogenic container is connected to the first inlet of the external heat exchanger,
- with an output line being connected to a first outlet of the external heat exchanger,
- with a branch line being connected to the output line at a first node and being connected to the third inlet of the internal heat exchanger, and
- with a first return line being connected to the third outlet of the internal heat exchanger and being connected to the second inlet of the second heat exchanger tube;
- and
- wherein a second return line is connected to the second outlet of the second heat exchanger tube and is connected to the output line at a second node, the second node being located downstream of the first node;
- wherein the system comprises at least one of the following selectively connectable bypass lines:
- a first bypass line for the first heat exchanger tube of the external heat exchanger, the first bypass line being connected to the removal line upstream of the first inlet and being connected to the output line downstream of the first outlet;
- a second bypass line for the second heat exchanger tube, the second bypass line being connected to the first return line upstream of the second inlet and being connected to the second return line downstream of the second outlet;
- a third bypass line for the internal heat exchanger, the third bypass line being connected to the branch line upstream of the third inlet and being connected to the first return line downstream of the third outlet.
