Abstract

See full text

A fluid storage device is provided having low heat-loss characteristics. The storage device may include an internal container for storing a cryogenic liquid and an external container at least partially surrounding the internal container. The storage device may include a cover enclosing an upper end of the external container and configured to maintain a vacuum around the inner container, as well as a transferring tube connected to the internal container to supply and/or extract the cryogenic liquid to/from the internal container. The storage device can also include a support structure coupled to both the cover and the internal container such that the internal container is suspended within the external container via the support structure. The support structure itself may include an inner cylindrical body coupled to the internal container and surrounding at least a portion of the internal container, an adjacent cylindrical body coupled to the inner cylindrical body, and an outer cylindrical body coupled to the adjacent cylindrical body. A plurality of coupling members may be disposed between the inner and adjacent cylindrical bodies and the adjacent and outer cylindrical bodies, respectively.
