Publication number: 20140216601Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and a device for refilling a stationary storage tank with a subcooled cryogenically liquefied gas from a tanker. A subcooler, comprising a cooling bath and connected between the tanker and an inlet of the storage tank, is filled with the liquefied gas from the tanker up to a filling level and cooled to a bath temperature. The storage tank is subsequently refilled with the liquefied gas from the tanker by the liquefied gas being pumped through a heat exchanger in the cooling bath of the subcooler into the storage tank by using a delivery pump, during which it is cooled to the bath temperature of the cooling bath. After the end of the filling process, the subcooler is no longer supplied with liquefied gas and therefore heats up.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 16, 2012Publication date: August 7, 2014Applicant: L'Air Liquide, Societe Anonyme pour l'Etude et l'Eploitation des Procedes Georges ClaudeInventors: Helmut Henrich, Franz Lurken

Publication number: 20110239670Abstract: A method for managing access to a confined space which is cooled by the direct injection of a cryogenic fluid, comprising at least one system for closing the confined space, which can prevent access to said confined space and can be opened/closed to a variable and controllable degree, and a data acquisition and processing device. The device can: control the open or closed state of the closure system; set and control the degree to which the closure system is open/closed; ensure that a time delay (TP) is respected every time the closure system is closed, after which time delay the injection of cryogenic fluid into the space resumes; and, at the request of a user, implement the cycle for opening the closure system. The device determines the time that has elapsed (TE) in the closed position since the last closure cycle of the closure system and compares TE to TP. If TE=TP the device immediately authorizes the opening of the closure system.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 23, 2009Publication date: October 6, 2011Applicant: L'Air Liquide Societe Aonyme Pour L'Etude Et L'ExpInventors: Carinne Kempen, Helmut Henrich, Franz Lurken, Serge Morel-Jean, Michael Thomas, Richard Soula

Patent number: 4033434Abstract: A pair of brake levers each having a brake shoe thereon acting in opposite directions against a brake drum have one end pivotally mounted and the other end of one brake lever is pivotally connected to a pivotally mounted operating lever. A rod is pivotally connected between the other brake lever and the operating lever. The operating lever is moved in the non-braking direction by an actuator and a spring pivots the operating lever in the other direction to apply the brake shoes. The end of the rod pivotally connected to the operating lever has a uni-directional drive thereon to adjust the effective length of the rod only when the operating lever is moved in the non-braking direction to compensate for wear of the brake shoes.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 1976Date of Patent: July 5, 1977Assignee: Firma Siegerland-BremsenInventor: Helmut Henrich
