Summary

Feeding high-pressure gas into the gas space of the tanks filled with liquids and even solids aims to maintain this gas space at a preselected pressure history bounded by tanks’ structural requirements or required propellant supply pressures, to prevent propellant pump cavitation, to avoid uncontrolled chemical reactions in gas space, etc. The pressurization process and corresponding pressurization systems are used in diverse technical devices. These include apparatus for chemical technology, oil and ore tankers, aircraft fuel tanks, and propellant tanks of LPREs. Processes related to high-pressure and often high-temperature gas feeding are extremely diversified because of the complex flow patterns of gas in the free space of the tanks, possible heat exchange with structural elements and the propellant, mass exchange caused by the evaporation of liquids, the chemical reactions in gas, and liquid phases.
