US Patent:

20040256395, Dec 23, 2004
Filed:

Jun 17, 2003
Appl. No.:

10/463092
Inventors:

Tibor Lak - Huntington Beach CA, US
Andrew Lak - Huntington Beach CA, US
Assignee:

The Boeing Company
International Classification:

F17C001/00
US Classification:

220/560150
Abstract:

A reinforced sprayed-on foam insulation (SOFI) and method of installing the reinforced sprayed-on foam insulation in which a reinforcing web is embedded within the foam or overlays the outer surface of foam applied to a cryogenic storage vessel. After application to the cryogenic storage vessel, the invented insulation prevents foam fragments from separating from the cryogenic storage vessel when placed under thermal or physical stress.

US Patent:

Filed:

Sep 14, 2001
Appl. No.:

09/952962
Inventors:

Tibor Istvan Lak - Huntington Beach CA
Andrew Tibor Lak - Huntington Beach CA
Assignee:

The Boeing Company - Chicago IL
International Classification:

B65B 104
US Classification:

141 82, 165 59, 165 61
Abstract:

A liquid-vapor separation system for use in a zero gravity environment for transferring and storing fluids, and particularly fluids that are primarily liquid, such as propellants, reactants and coolants, among others, has a low supply tank pressure and low pressurant gas requirement, which results in maximized capacity, reduced system weight and reduced cost. The temperature of a container provided as part of the present invention is decreased below the freezing point of residual liquid within the container. Non-compressible gas is thereafter vented and the liquid raised to liquid temperature. Gaseous contaminants are thereby vented and subsequent filling of the container is thereby maximized.
