Heater-mixer for stored fluidsA fluid storage vessel for containing cryogenic fluids is described. The storage vessel contains an auxiliary chamber which is connected to the main container by a jet nozzle. The wall of the auxiliary vessel is heat cycled to produce a corresponding expansion and contraction of the fluid within the auxiliary chamber. This action causes heating and mixing of the stored fluid by means of jetting the expanded fluid to and from relative to the stored fluid contents of the vessel.
