Abstract

A recovery cryostat, external to a cryogen storage tank, uses a cryocooler to condense vapor of cryogen from the storage tank and return the cryogen to the storage tank as a liquid. The process may be continuous or cyclical depending on the orientation of the recovery cryostat. If the recovery cryostat is located such that liquid can drain back to the storage tank, the process can be continuous. If the liquid cannot be drained back, a valve on the liquid return line is closed while the cryocooler condenses the vapor, a valve on the vapor supply line is then closed, the valve on the liquid return line is opened, and pressure in the recovery cryostat is increased to drive the liquid out. The storage tank is a type that can have vapor that boils off external to the tank be returned to the vapor space above the liquid in the tank.
