The bottle was in in the vertical position. They were charging with gas. The only reason that they do this, is it's safer in rough weather to just keep the bottle secured instead on laying it down and re-securing it in a horizontal position. From what the vessel engineers have been telling me, it usually takes a couple hours to empty a bottle by this method. If there is any residual liquid in the bottle, when the freeze cycle complete on that freezer, they will isolate the bottle, allow it to warm up and then start charging again when the suction header is back down around 0 psi during the next freeze cycle.
