Fuel tank for cryogenically stored fuel has heat pipe extending from geodetically lower internal space region with mainly liquid fuel to upper region in which fuel is mainly in gaseous state

摘要

The fuel container has at least one thermal transport pipe (5) or heat pipe arranged in the internal space (2) within the container and extending from the geodetically lower internal space region (2a) in which the fuel is mainly in liquid form to the geodetically upper internal space region (2b) in which the fuel is mainly in a gaseous state. One or more heat pipes is/are arranged on the inner container wall (1b) or on a structure in a central region.
