Cryogenic storage container.

摘要

A storage container (10) for shipping transportable materials at cryogenic temperatures including a vessel which opens to the atmosphere and contains a micro-fibrous structure (27) for holding a liquified gas such as liquid nitrogen in adsorption and capillary suspension. The micro-fibrous structure comprises a core (28) permeable to liquid and gaseous nitrogen and an adsorption matrix (30) composed of a web of inorganic fibers surrounding the core in a multi-layered arrangement.
