Abstract
Abstract Process for filling multilayer pressure containers with cold liquids below -10°C. comprises steps of cooling container from outside thereof inwardly to temperature that approximately corresponds to temperature of liquid to be filled. After such cooling the cold liquid is filled into the container. Multilayer pressure container has plurality of individual shells adjacent one another and cooling chamber surrounds shells.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
88 words
A multilayer pressure container comprising a plurality of individual metal shells adjacent one another. each shell in intimate contact throughout its surface with the adjacent shells surrounding it, a cooling chamber surrounding the individual shells having intake and outlet openings therein for circulating coolant through the cooling chamber for cooling the metal shells from the outside to the interior thereof prior to filling the container with cold liquid, insulation on the outside of the cooling chamber, and inlet and outlet means communicating with the interior of the container.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
88 words

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
45 words
A multilayer pressure container as in claim 1 wherein the inlet and outlet means comprises a concentric multiple conduit having a passageway therethrough for introducing and removing cold liquid from the container, and another passageway in the conduit for the escape of cold evaporating gas.
