Abstract
A manifold for a liquid oxygen (LOX) storage/delivery apparatus is provided according to the invention. The manifold for a liquid oxygen (LOX) storage/delivery apparatus includes a gas conduit adapted to communicate with a source of gaseous oxygen, the gas conduit allowing passage of gaseous oxygen and containing a liquid oxygen conduit inside the gas conduit, with the liquid oxygen conduit passing through the manifold, a gas withdrawal conduit communicating with the gas conduit, and a gas vent conduit communicating with the gas conduit. The manifold permits independent liquid oxygen passage, independent gaseous oxygen passage, and independent gaseous oxygen venting.
