Cryogenic-container suspension strap: a supporting strap has low thermal conductivity. NTIS Tech Note

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5641830
This citation summarizes a one-page announcement of technology available for utilization. A fiberglass/epxoy supporting strap holds the inner shell of a cryogenic storage tank away from the outer shell. The strap, made of two or more links, reduces the heat leakage into the cryogenic fluid more efficiently than conventional suspension systems. The strap is made from a unidrectional fiberglass/epoxy composite material, which has high strength-to-density and strength-to-thermal conductivity ratios at cryogenic temperatures.
