Abstract
A device for increasing pressure in a storage container for cryogenic liquids comprises a housing within a storage container, the housing having at least one intake opening for liquid and, inside, a heating device for evaporating liquid. A vapor line is arranged in the upper third of the housing to remove the vapor bubbles that are produced during evaporation. The cross-section of the vapor line is large so that when the device is operated, more vapor than liquid, preferably only vapor, exhausts through the vapor line.
