Abstract
A cryogenic tank includes at least one enclosure, at least one cryogenic element located in the enclosure and at least one connecting system including at least one connecting element connecting first and second anchor points respectively rigidly attached to the enclosure and the cryogenic element directly or indirectly. The connecting element forms a thermal conduction path that has a length greater than a straight line distance separating the first and second anchor points.
Claims17
A cryogenic tank comprising:
- at least one enclosure delimiting interior and exterior zones,
- at least one cryogenic element in the interior zone comprising a pipe, equipment or a cryogenic box containing a cryogenic element,
- at least one first anchor point rigidly attached to the at least one enclosure,
- at least one second anchor point rigidly attached to the cryogenic element, and
- at least one connecting system comprising at least one connecting element connecting the at least one first and second anchor points directly or indirectly, the connecting element forming a thermal conduction path that has a length greater than a straight line distance separating the first and second anchor points,
- at least one support,
- a first connecting system connecting the cryogenic element and the at least one support, and
- a second connecting system connecting the support and the enclosure,
- wherein the cryogenic element comprises at least first and second rigid sections connected to different supports and at least one flexible section connecting the first and second rigid sections.

A cryogenic tank comprising:
- at least one enclosure delimiting interior and exterior zones,
- at least one cryogenic element located in the interior zone comprising a pipe, equipment or a cryogenic box containing a cryogenic element,
- at least one first anchor point rigidly attached to the at least one enclosure,
- at least one second anchor point rigidly attached to the cryogenic element, and
- at least one connecting system comprising at least one connecting element connecting the at least one first and second anchor points directly or indirectly, in which tank the connecting element forms a thermal conduction path that has a length greater than a straight line distance separating the first and second anchor points,
- wherein the cryogenic tank comprises at least one cryogenic box located in the interior zone of the cryogenic tank in which at least one cryogenic element is located, and
- wherein the cryogenic element located in the cryogenic box comprises at least one first part in contact with a cryogenic fluid and at least one second part that is not in contact with the cryogenic fluid.
