Multi-Layer Fluid Containment Recovery System

摘要

A system and method for multi-layer fluid containment recovery. The system includes an inner container, an outer container and a pump. The outer container encompasses the inner container and forms a region between the inner container and the outer container. The pump includes an inlet situated in the region between the inner container and outer container. The system may also include a logic controller communicatively coupled to the pump and configured to activate the pump in moving fluid out of the region between the inner container and outer container according to a defined logic.

1. A high-altitude balloon apparatus comprising:
a first envelope capable of containing a buoyant gas with an inner surface facing toward the buoyant gas and an outer surface facing away from the buoyant gas; a second envelope encompassing the first envelope and forming an inter-envelope region between the outer surface of the first envelope and an inner surface of the second envelope facing toward the first envelope; a first pump with an inlet situated in the inter-envelope region and operable to remove gas from the inter-envelope region; and a logic controller communicatively coupled to the first pump to activate the first pump according to defined logic.
