Abstract
A cryogenic liquid storage apparatus includes a storage container configured to accommodate a cryogenic liquid and having a connection port, a level sensor configured to detect a liquid level of the cryogenic liquid on the basis of capacitance, and a connector part configured to selectively separably fasten the level sensor to the connection port, thereby obtaining an advantageous effect of providing ease of maintenance and repair and improving stability and reliability.
Claims20
A cryogenic liquid storage apparatus comprising:
- a storage container configured to accommodate a cryogenic liquid and having a connection port;
- a level sensor configured to detect a liquid level of the cryogenic liquid on the basis of capacitance;
- and
- a connector part configured to separably fasten the level sensor to the connection port.
A cryogenic liquid storage apparatus comprising:
- a storage container configured to accommodate a cryogenic liquid and having a connection port;
- a level sensor configured to detect a liquid level of the cryogenic liquid on the basis of capacitance, the level sensor comprising:
