Science - Chemistry; Chem Sci/Eng / anoxia fumigation chamber
German term or phrase: Stickstoffbündel
Sollte der Stickstoffgenerator ausfallen, wird automatisch ein Stickstoffbündel aktiviert, um den geringen Sauerstoffgehalt in der Haltephase halten zu können.

This is part of a description of an anoxia fumigation chamber used to treat artworks that are infested with insects. What is a bündel in this context? What term would an english-speaking chemist use?

Many thanks!

English translation:nitrogen cylinder bundle
Explanation:
Unlike individual gas bottles stored in a rack, the compressed gas bottles in a bundle are all connected with each other and need not be 'changed' when empty.

The following link illustrates this quite nicely:

nitrogen backup


Explanation:
or nitrogen backup storage tank(s) or backup system (should the generator fail) would seem to make sense in the context. To me, Bündel is a strange choice of word in German.
But art&insects? Low confidence.
