Abstract
A process for storage of a liquefied gas on an adsorbant support in a chamber provided with at least one discharge orifice for the distribution of the gas in gaseous form into an environment at a pressure lower then the storage pressure. The adsorbant support is constituted of hollow capillary fibres, natural or synthetic, such as kapok fibers. The hollow capillary fibers have an inner diameter between about 10 to 35.mu. and a wall thickness about 0.2 to 3.mu.. The actual volume of the fibers represents about 11% of the storage chamber.
