Abstract: A process for storage of a liquefied gas which is discharged exclusively in a gaseous form into an atmosphere whose pressure is less than the storage pressure. There is disposed in the storage chamber conjointly with the liquefied stored gas, a minimum quantity of a fibrous adsorbant support, the diameter of the fibers being equal at most to 25 microns. The process is applicable to the storage of liquefied gas without need for auxiliary evaporation or auxiliary expansion apparatus.

Abstract: A process of storing a liquefied gas for distribution exclusively in gaseous form in an atmosphere whose pressure is less than that of the storage pressure, comprising disposing in a storage chamber conjointly with a stored liquefied gas, a minimum quantity of a capillary adsorbant support having open cells, the mean diameter of the cells being equal at most to 500 microns and the mean thickness of the intercellular walls being at most equal to 50 microns. The actual volume of the adsorbant support constituted by the volume remaining after deduction of all interstitial spaces of the minimum quantity, being:A. at least 2% of the volume of the storage chamber for a capillary support having open cells, the mean volume of each, once in place, being equal to that of a sphere of a diameter of 40 microns with a mean thickness of the intercellular wall of about 4 microns and varying between 2 and 8 microns,B.
