Gas dispensing system with tank pressure and heat management

1. A system for cryogenic gas delivery comprising:

a cryogenic tank comprising an inner shell and an outer shell wherein the inner shell defines an interior configured to contain a cryogenic liquid and a gas within a headspace above the cryogenic liquid;

a first vaporizer;

a second vaporizer;

a use outlet;

a first pipe configured to transfer gas from the headspace through the first vaporizer to the use outlet, wherein the first pipe does not have a regulator valve;

a second pipe configured to transfer liquid from the cryogenic tank through the first vaporizer so that a first vapor stream is directed to the use outlet;

a third pipe configured to build pressure within the cryogenic tank by transferring liquid from the cryogenic tank through the second vaporizer so that a second vapor stream is directed back to the headspace of the cryogenic tank;

a first regulator valve in fluid communication with the second pipe, said first regulator valve configured to open when a pressure on an outlet side of the first regulator valve drops below a first predetermined pressure level;

a second regulator valve in fluid communication with the third pipe, said second regulator valve configured to open when a pressure inside the cryogenic tank drops below a second predetermined pressure level; and

wherein the first predetermined pressure level is higher than the second predetermined pressure level.

2. The cryogenic gas delivery system of claim 1 , wherein the system further comprises a piping loop before the first vaporizer.

3. The cryogenic gas delivery system of claim 2 , wherein the piping loop includes a peak portion that physically rises above the first vaporizer.

4. The cryogenic gas delivery system of claim 1 , further comprising a valve on the second pipe between the first regulator valve and the first vaporizer.

5. The cryogenic gas delivery system of claim 4 , wherein the valve is a check valve.

6. The cryogenic gas delivery system of claim 4 , wherein the valve is a globe check valve.

7. The cryogenic gas delivery system of claim 1 , wherein the first predetermined pressure level is 30 bar.

8. The cryogenic gas delivery system of claim 7 , wherein the second predetermined pressure level is 29 bar.

9. The cryogenic gas delivery system of claim 1 , wherein the first vaporizer is an ambient air vaporizer.

10. The cryogenic gas delivery system of claim 1 , wherein the second vaporizer is an ambient air vaporizer.

11. The cryogenic gas delivery system of claim 1 , wherein the first pipe includes an isolation valve.

12. A method of providing gas from a cryogenic tank to a use device while maintaining a temperature and pressure within the cryogenic tank comprising the steps of:

opening a dispensing valve to start distributing gas to a use device;

at a first cryogenic tank pressure directing gas through a first pipe and a first vaporizer to the use device;

at a second cryogenic tank pressure, directing liquid from the cryogenic tank through a second pipe and the first vaporizer to the use device;

at a third cryogenic tank pressure, directing liquid from the cryogenic tank through a third pipe and a second vaporizer and back to the cryogenic tank;

closing the dispensing valve to stop distributing gas to a use device; and

returning any residual liquid or gas in the first vaporizer back to the top of the cryogenic tank by the first pipe.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the first cryogenic tank pressure is at or above approximately 30 bar.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the second cryogenic tank pressure is at or below approximately 30 bar.

15. The method of claim 14 , wherein the third cryogenic tank pressure is at or below approximately 29 bar.

16. The method of claim 12 , further comprising directing liquid or gas through a loop before the first vaporizer.

17. The method of claim 12 , wherein the second pipe further comprises a regulator which opens at the second cryogenic tank pressure, allowing liquid to flow through the second pipe to the first vaporizer.

18. The method of claim 12 , wherein the third pipe further comprises a regulator which opens at the third cryogenic tank pressure, allowing liquid to flow through the third pipe to the second vaporizer.
