  • Patent number: 11441733
    Abstract: The invention relates to a transport container (1) for helium (He), comprising an inner container (6) for receiving the helium (He); a coolant container (14) for receiving a cryogenic fluid (N2); an outer container (2) in which the inner container (6) and the coolant container (14) are received; a thermal shield (21) in which the inner container (6) is received and which can be actively cooled using the cryogenic fluid (N2), said thermal shield (21) having at least one cooling line (26) which is fluidically connected to the coolant container (14) and in which the cryogenic fluid (N2) can be received in order to actively cool the thermal shield (21); and at least one return line (34, 35), by means of which the at least one cooling line (26) is fluidically connected to the coolant container (14) in order to return the cryogenic fluid (N2) back to the coolant container (14).

  • Patent number: 10982905
    Abstract: Helically coiled heat exchanger for the indirect exchange of heat between a two-phase first medium and a second medium has a shell surrounding a shell space, which extends along a longitudinal axis, an inlet for the admission of the two-phase first medium into the shell space, a tube bundle arranged in the shell space and having multiple helically coiled tubes for accommodating the second medium and a separating device for separating a gaseous phase from a liquid phase. The separating device has a tray arranged above the tube bundle which serves for collecting the liquid phase. The tray has a plurality of chimneys for separating the two phases. Each chimney projects from the tray from a side of the tray facing away from the tube bundle and is covered by a roof. An opening in the tray between the roof and an upper end of the respective chimney, there is provided an inlet opening via which the gaseous phase can flow into the respective chimney.

  • Publication number: 20170038149
    Abstract: A heat exchanger for the indirect exchange of heat between a first fluid and a second fluid, the heat exchanger having a casing surrounding a casing chamber that accommodates the first fluid. A core tube may extend within the casing. A tube bundle is arranged in the casing chamber and has multiple tubes to accommodate the second fluid. The tubes are helically wound around a longitudinal axis of the chamber or around the core tube in a coil region extending from a lower coil end to an upper coil end. At least one tube is coiled only in a section of the coil region. Outside of the section of the coil region the at least one tube extends as a straight tube to the lower coil end, the upper coil end, or to both the lower coil end and the upper coil end.
