Abstract (en)
An apparatus includes a cryogenic tank disposed within an insulation tank such that an annulus is formed therebetween. The apparatus also includes a first heat transfer element configured to absorb heat from the cryogenic tank and a second heat transfer element configured to discharge heat into an ambient region proximate the insulation tank. The apparatus has legs between the first heat transfer element and the second heat transfer element, and an energy source configured to provide a heat flux through the legs.
