A double-walled container having spaced-apart inner and outer wall members enclosing a sealed insulation space, with at least a portion of the wall members being formed of a polymeric thermoplastic material selected from the group consisting of polyethylene, polypropylene, polytetrafluoroethylene and polychlortrifluoroethylene, uncoated with any permeation barrier coatings, so as to be gas permeable. A mass of pelletized adsorbent is disposed in the insulation space in thermal contact with the inner wall member. The introduction of cryogenic liquid to the container effects cooling of the inner wall member and adsorbent in thermal contact therewith, thereby causing increased adsorption of gas in the insulation space by the adsorbent for reduction of pressure therein and enhancement of the insulation quality of the insulation space. Complete removal of cryogenic liquid from the container effects warming of the inner wall member and adsorbent, thereby causing desorption of gas from the adsorbent disposed in the insulation space to raise pressure therein and cause pressure in the insulation space above pressure of the exterior environment of the container to be at least partially relieved by flow of gas through the polymeric thermoplastic wall member portion from the insulation space to the exterior environment.

A double-walled container for storage and dispensing of cryogenic liquid comprising: spaced-apart inner and outer wall members enclosing an insulation space, said inner wall member being free of openings communicating with said insulation space and having an inner surface forming a receptacle for said cryogenic liquid, with said wall members being entirely formed of a polymeric thermoplastic material selected from the group consisting of polyethylene, polypropylene, polytetrafluoroethylene and polychlortrifluoroethylene, said inner member being uncoated with any permeation barrier coatings, said polymeric thermoplastic wall members being permeable to gas flow between an exterior environment of said container and said insulation space; and a mass of adsorbent disposed in said insulation space in thermal contact with said inner wall member, said container characterized whereby: (1) introduction of cryogenic liquid into said container receptacle effects cooling of said inner wall member and said adsorbent in thermal contact therewith thereby causing increased adsorption of gas in said insulation space by said adsorbent for reduction of pressure therein and enhancement of the insulation quality of said insulation space, and (2) complete removal of cryogenic liquid from said container receptacle effects warming of said inner wall member and adsorbent in thermal contact therewith, thereby causing desorption of gas from said adsorbent in said insulation space to raise pressure therein and cause pressure in said insulation space above pressure of said exterior environment of said container to be at least partially relieved by flow of gas through said polymeric thermoplastic wall members from said insulation space to said exterior environment, wherein the ratio of mass of said adsorbent, in grams, to volume of said insulation space, in cubic centimeters, is from 0.005 to 0.150. A method of fabricating a double-walled container for storage and dispensing of cryogenic liquid, comprising the steps of: (a) providing a smaller inner wall member and a larger outer wall member in spaced relationship to one another to form an insulation space therebetween, said inner wall member being free of openings communicating with said insulation space and having an inner surface forming a receptacle for said cryogenic liquid and said wall members being entirely formed of polymeric thermoplastic material selected from the group consisting of polyethylene, polypropylene, polytetrafluoroethylene and polychlortrifluoroethylene, said inner member being uncoated with any permeation barrier coatings, said polymeric thermoplastic wall members being permeable to gas flow between an exterior environment of said container and said insulation space; (b) placing a mass of adsorbent in said insulation space in thermal contact with said inner wall member; and (c) enclosing said insulation space with said inner and outer wall members under atmospheric conditions to form said container having said inner and outer wall members bounding the insulation space containing gas at atmospheric pressure, and said container characterized whereby in subsequent use (1) introduction of cryogenic liquid into said container receptacle effects cooling of said inner wall member and said adsorbent in thermal contact therewith, thereby causing increased adsorption of gas in said insulation space by said adsorbent for reduction of pressure therein and enhancement of the insulation quality of said insulation space and (2) complete removal of cryogenic liquid from said container receptacle effects warming of said inner wall member and adsorbent in thermal contact therewith, thereby causing desorption of gas from said adsorbent in said insulation space to raise pressure therein and cause pressure in said insulation space above pressure of an exterior environment of said container to be at least partially relieved by flow of gas through said polymeric thermoplastic wall members from said insulation space to said exterior environment, and wherein the adsorbent is provided in said insulation space in an amount such that the ratio of mass of said adsorbent, in grams, to volume of said insulation space, in cubic centimeters, is from 0.005 to 0.150.
