Abstract: A method for transferring cryogenic fluid from a storage tank (2; 12; 16) to a receiver (6; 8; 10; 14; 16; 18) like a receiving tank or to an application device, according to the invention comprises the steps of: a—pumping cryogenic liquid from the storage tank (2; 12; 16), b—vaporising at least partially the pumped cryogenic liquid, c—pressurising the storage tank (2; 12; 16) with the vaporised cryogenic liquid, and d—transferring cryogenic fluid to the receiver (6; 8; 10; 14; 16; 18) with cryogenic fluid from the storage tank (2; 12; 16) through a feed line (4) between the storage tank (2; 12; 16) and the receiver (6; 8; 10; 14; 16; 18).

Abstract: A method for replenishing the supply of cryogenic liquid from a storage tank (2) includes: pressurizing a container (14) with cryogenic gas at a first pressure, said container having passing through it a first cryogenic fluid flow line referred to as the cold line and a second cryogenic fluid flow line referred to as the hot line, passing cryogenic liquid at a second pressure through the cold line (12), and supplying the container (14) with cryogenic gas at least partially from cryogenic liquid pumped from the storage tank (2) and vaporized. A device is also provided for the method hereinabove.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for supplying liquefied natural gas to a storage tank or a fuel tank at specified temperatures and pressures. The method employs the steps of pressurizing a conditioning vessel with gaseous natural gas at a first pressure, feeding liquefied natural gas at a second pressure greater than the first pressure to a condenser in heat transfer relationship with the conditioning vessel, and withdrawing the liquefied natural gas from the condenser.
