Chilling before filling reduces ullage. Report describes experiments on nonvented filling of tank designed to store cryogenic liquids. Experiments showed if tank first chilled and evacuated, it can then be filled to more than 90 percent of its capacity without venting, provided conditions of chilling, initial tank pressure, and filling chosen properly. Developed for space applications, also useful in ground-based operations where venting impractical or hazardous.
