    Abstract: An apparatus and method for efficiently metering and transferring a cryogenic liquid, such as liquefied natural gas, from a storage vessel to, for example, a vehicle fuel tank. The apparatus incorporates a programmable controller, a motor-driven pump and a network of conduits with motor-operated valves and liquid sensors for effecting a priming of the pump with liquid free of vapor and a cool-down of the flow passages prior to a transfer operation for ensuring that a vapor-free liquid is delivered. A pair of flow meters, one for liquid and the other for returned vapor, allows a reliable determination of the amount of liquid delivered to--and remaining in--a receiving vessel. The apparatus employs a delivery nozzle with quick-disconnect valved fittings and a delivery nozzle incorporating features which allow it to be handled by an operator without the use of heavy gloves. The method of transferring a cryogenic liquid employs an operating sequence with programmed time delays for ensuring that the liquid pump is properly primed and that the transfer apparatus is cooled down before liquid transfer begins.

    Abstract: A tank for cryogenic liquid fuel includes a tank with inner and outer shells. A support beam with its ends supported in endwalls of the outer shell extends through a central sleeve in the inner shell. Raised formations on the support beam engage the interior of the sleeve to support the inner shell within the outer shell. The sealed space formed between the shells inhibits heat conduction into cryogenic liquid fuel held in the inner shell. Pins extending transversely through the support beam prevent turning of the support beam in its endwall supports and turning of inner shell about the support beam. Getter material and radiation shielding placed about the support beam within the sleeve of the inner shell afford additional impediments to heat transfer into the inner shell.
