Method and apparatus for supplying a cryogenic stored fuel

摘要

Fluidized cryo-stored fuel is fed into a fuel line from a tank (1) as raised above the pressure gradient between the intake pressure drop and the difference between tank pressure at pump infeed and the fuel b.p. as determined by the fuel temperature at any one time. Fuel tank pressure (1) is raised above summated fuel boiling pressure and the maximum pressure drop at feeder (2) intake by an infeed of gaseous fuel routed over from a pressure vessel to the fuel tank. The gaseous fuel is tapped downstream of the feeder (2) from a fuel line (7,8) and is heated and vaporized (10). The feeder is powered by an in-tank pump (3), using the fuel as coolant.
