Abstract
A ceramic composite comprising ceramic fibers and glass microparticles bound together as a porous matrix with a ceramic binder provides baffles for cryogenic fluids in a storage container.
Claims10
A container for storing liquid cryogens comprising:
- walls defining an enclosed volume suitable for storing a cryogenic fluid;
- a cryogenic fluid within the enclosed volume;
- and
- at least one fibrous ceramic baffle positioned within said volume in contact with the cryogenic fluid to control surface turbulence in the cryogenic fluid and rapid shift of the level of fluid within the container.
