TL;DR: In this article, the tank wall is provided with shorting members forming a secondary loop around a portion of the wall, where a reservoir communicating with the tube and containing liquid refrigerant is located outside the tank.
Abstract: Eddy-current heating of a tank wall is reduced by providing the tank wall with shorting members forming a secondary loop around a portion of the tank wall. One of the shorting members is located outside the tank and is a tube forming a portion of a heat pipe. This heat pipe also comprises a reservoir communicating with the tube and containing liquid refrigerant that is in good heatexchange relationship with a portion of the tank wall.
