What is cryogenic oxygen tank?

The cryogenic tank is constructed, in principle, like a vacuum bottle. There is an inner vessel surrounded by an outer vessel. Between the vessels is an annular space that contains an insulating medium from which all the air has been removed. This space keeps heat away from the liquid oxygen held in the inner vessel.

What type of cryogenic liquid container is used for liquids only?

Liquid cylinders
Liquid cylinders are pressurized containers specifically designed for cryogenic liquids. This type of container has valves for filling and dispensing the cryogenic liquid, and a pressure-control valve with a frangible (bursting) disk as backup protection.

How is liquid oxygen transported?

When transporting liquid oxygen, vessels should be filled by trained personnel only. When filling inside the cargo area, all doors should be opened and vent gas should be directed outside. In the interest of liquid oxygen safety, vessels should not be filled when the vehicle is in motion or when en- gine is running.

Is liquid oxygen cryogenic?

Liquid oxygen is a cryogenic liquid. Cryogenic liquids are liquefied gases that have a normal boiling point below –130°F (–90°C). Liquid oxygen has a boiling point of –297°F (–183°C). Oxygen is often stored as a liquid, although it is used primarily as a gas.

Is propane a cryogenic liquid?

Since they have boiling points of -130 degrees F or colder, all cryogenic liquids are above their boiling points at ambient temperatures. Unlike propane and other liquefied gases, gases that are liquefied into cryogenics are liquefied through a process of alternating pressurization, cooling and ultimate decompression.

What are cryogenic tanks and how do they work?

Cryogenic tanks are integral to the entire cryogenic treatment process. Without them, it would not be possible to transport and store cryogenic liquids. So it can be said that the cryogenic treatment process wouldn’t be possible without these tanks. Their efficacy isn’t just limited to the storage and transport of the cryogenic materials.

Why choose a cryogenic tank from Lapesa?

Greater vacuum stability is provided by absorbent material.Lapesa designs its cryogenic tanks for different working pressures from 5 – 42 bar. They’re certified according to European Directive 2014/68/EU on Pressurised Equipment.
