摘要

A fluid management system for a cryogenic tank may include a liquid acquisition device and a spray injection system. The cryogenic tank may include a tank wall and may contain bulk tank fluid. The liquid acquisition device may acquire and contain cryogenic fluid in substantially liquid phase. The liquid acquisition device may be mounted in spaced relation to the tank wall. The spray injection system may receive the liquid from the liquid acquisition device and may spray the liquid into the bulk tank fluid.
