Patent number: 11971229Abstract: A heat exchanger assembly including an elongated tubular heat exchanger enclosure defining an interior chamber. A tube sheet is positioned within the interior chamber of the heat exchanger enclosure separating the interior chamber into a shell side and a channel side. The interior portion is configured to removably receive a tube bundle positioned within the shell side of the interior chamber. An annular sleeve member is positioned within the channel side of the interior chamber of the heat exchanger enclosure. An annular elastic torsion member is positioned within the channel side of the interior chamber of the heat exchanger such that the sleeve member is positioned between the tube sheet and the elastic torsion member. The elastic torsion member has an inner circumference deflectable relative to its outer circumference for torsioning the elastic torsion member.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2021Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: Lummus Technology LLCInventors: Richard Jibb, David Thomas Creech, Randy Lee Eberly, Elizabeth MacLean Meacham, Henk Boekhouder, Roberto Groppi, Vincenzo Marco Brignone, Trevor Jaye

Patent number: 11898703Abstract: Implementations of the present disclosure generally relate to an apparatus for large-scale external pressure storage, and more particularly for large-scale storage of liquid hydrogen and other products that require evacuated insulation. In some examples, a plate for a storage apparatus is provided. The plate a body that includes a beveled joint with the body having a nominal thickness at the beveled joint. The beveled joint is configured to be welded to a corresponding beveled joint of an adjacent plate.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2022Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: CB&I STS Delaware LLC.Inventors: John Andrew Jacobson, Steven Matthew Cihlar, Yaming Li, Koray Kuscu, Randy Lee Eberly
