Abstract
Disclosed is liquid filling apparatus for a high-temperature and high-pressure vessel. The apparatus comprises a high-temperature and high-pressure vessel, a closed liquid storage tank disposed at a level higher than that at which liquid is supplied to the high-temperature and high-pressure vessel, a liquid-filling flow passage for supplying liquid from the closed liquid storage tank into the high-temperature and high-pressure vessel, a pressure-feed flow passage for supplying a pressure from the high-temperature and high-pressure vessel to the closed liquid storage tank, valves equipped on the liquid-filling flow passage and the pressure-feed flow passage respectively, and a liquid-filling liquid source adapted to communicate with the interior of the closed liquid storage tank via a valve, whereby the environmental surroundings of the closed liquid storage tank are lower in temperature than the interior of the high-temperature and high-pressure vessel.
