1. A system comprising a cryogenic container (1), in particular an LNG container or a hydrogen container, and a first heat exchanger (4, 60) with a first heat exchanger tube (49) for cryogenic fluid, with a removal line (9, 10) of the cryogenic container (1) being connected to the first heat exchanger tube (49) of the first heat exchanger (4), characterized in that:
the system comprises a single-piece pressure management valve block (12) having at least a first inlet port (35), a second inlet port (36), a first outlet port (37) and a second outlet port (38), wherein at least the first inlet port (35), the first outlet port (37) and the second outlet port (38) are connected inside the single-piece pressure management valve block (12) by a first connection passage,
the first connection passage comprising a first connecting portion on an inlet side (40), a first connecting portion on an outlet side (41) and a second connecting portion on an outlet side (42), which converge at a first node (43), the single-piece pressure management valve block (12) having at least a first valve recess (45) open towards the outside, the first valve recess (45) starting at the first connecting portion on the outlet side (41), at the second connecting portion on the outlet side (42) or at the node (43),
with a first valve (46) being inserted into the first valve recess (45) of the single-piece pressure management valve block (12), and
wherein the first heat exchanger tube (49) is connected to the first inlet port (36) and the first outlet port (37) is connected to a second heat exchanger (34) protruding into the cryogenic container (1) and connected to the second inlet port (37) of the single-piece pressure management valve block (12), optionally via a second heat exchanger tube of the first heat exchanger (4).
