Containers and Liquid Oxygen Tanks

• Cryogenic liquids are frequently used in research
  labs, and
• liquid nitrogen is one of them. The word
  cryogenic itself refers
• to very low temperatures it is an extremely cold
  material. It
• should only be stored in well-ventilated areas,
  and hence impact
• resistant containers that can withstand extremely
  low temperatures
• should be used. Materials such as carbon steel,
  plastic and rubber
• become brittle at these temperatures, so
  stainless steel works the
• best over here.

• Liquid nitrogen containers are tanks composed of
  stainless steel
• containers to withstand low temperatures, and on
  the outside carbon
• steel is isolated from each other, by a
  combination of high vacuum
• and insulating material. They contain gaseous
  nitrogen, which has
• been cooled to liquefy and changed to a cryogenic
  liquid state.
• Liquid nitrogen containers are made up of 1-cm
  thick styrofoam
• sheets having a thermal conductivity of
  0.025Js-1m-10c-1.

• Liquid oxygen is a cryogenic liquid. The term
  cryogenic liquid
• refers to liquefied gases with normal boiling
  points lower than
• 130F (-90C). Liquid oxygen has a boiling point
  of -297F (-
• 183C). Liquid oxygen must be protected from
  ambient heat since
• there is a significant temperature difference
  between the product
• and its surroundings, even in the cold.
  Additionally, the commodity
• needs specialized handling and storage equipment.

• Depending on the quantity needed by the user,
  liquid oxygen is
• stored, transported, and handled in a variety of
  different types of
• containers. The cryogenic storage tank, cryogenic
  liquid cylinder,
• and dewars are examples of container types in
  use.
• Liquid oxygen tanks, also known as LOX tanks, are
  designed to
• safely store and transport liquid oxygen, which
  is a cryogenic
• liquid with a boiling point of -183 degrees
  Celsius (-297 degrees
• Fahrenheit). These tanks are typically used in
  various industries,
• including aerospace, medical, and industrial
  applications. The
• specific design of these tanks may vary depending
  on their size,
• capacity and purpose.

STRUCTURE OF A LIQUID NITROGEN CONTAINER

• A vessel with two layers an outer chamber and
  an inner chamber
• is a liquid nitrogen container. The outer
  chamber covers all
• parts of the container. The neck is the point of
  entry from the
• inner chamber into the outer chamber. The wall of
  the inner chamber
• is made of high-quality insulating material and
  is a bad conductor
• of heat. A vacuum is created between the outer
  and inner chamber
• and the space in between is filled with
  insulating material. If the
• vacuum is broken, the liquid nitrogen will boil
  and there would be
• a rapid loss of liquid nitrogen from the inner
  chamber.

• The neck region prevents the exchange of heat
  from outside to the
• inner chamber and thereby the fast evaporation
  of liquid nitrogen
• is prevented. The addition of liquid nitrogen to
  the container
• leads to a considerable increase in weight load
  which should be
• supported by the neck tube. The interior chamber
  will vibrate due
• to abrupt movements and jerks. The inner
  chambers side-to-side
• movement will harm the neck tube and result in
  mechanical damage.
• Liquid nitrogen refrigerators are constructed in
  such a way the
• three pathways of heat transfer, conduction,
  convection, and
• radiation are minimized. The super vacuum between
  the chambers
• prevents the transfer of heat through conduction
  and convection.

STRUCTURE OF LIQUID OXYGEN TANKS

• The outer shell of the tank is made of a robust
  material such as
• stainless steel or aluminum alloy. This shell
  provides structural
• integrity and protection for the inner
  components. The tanks have
• excellent insulation to minimize heat transfer
  and prevent the
• oxygen from warming up and boiling off. The
  insulation materials
• used can include multiple layers of materials
  such as perlite,
• fiberglass, or vacuum panels. These insulation
  layers help maintain
• the low temperature of the liquid oxygen inside
  the tank. The inner
• vessel, also known as the inner tank or cryogenic
  vessel, is the
• primary container that holds the liquid oxygen.
  It is typically
• made of stainless steel or another material with
  high resistance to
• low temperatures.

9

• The inner vessel is designed to withstand the
  extreme cold and
• pressure exerted by the liquid oxygen. Liquid
  oxygen tanks include
• a venting system to release excess pressure that
  may build up
• inside the tank due to factors such as heat
  exposure or filling the
• tank to its maximum capacity. The venting system
  allows the
• controlled release of pressure, ensuring the
  safety of the tank.
• Liquid oxygen tanks are equipped with valves and
  fittings that
• enable filling, emptying, and controlling the
  flow of liquid
• oxygen. These components are designed to
  withstand the low
• temperatures and high pressures associated with
  handling cryogenic
• fluids. Pressure relief devices are essential
  safety features in
• tanks. They are designed to automatically release
  excess pressure in
• the event of an overpressure situation,
  preventing the tank from
• rupturing.

10

• Liquid oxygen tanks may include various
  instruments and sensors
• to monitor the temperature, pressure, and other
  relevant
• parameters. This information helps ensure the
  proper functioning
• and safety of the tank.
• Liquid nitrogen containers and liquid oxygen
  tanks are crucial
• components in various industries, including
  healthcare,
• biotechnology, food, and research. They play a
  vital role in
• various industries, offering a reliable solution
  for storing and
• transporting cryogenic substances at extremely
  low temperatures.
