What is a Cryogenic Storage Tank?
A cryogenic storage tank is a specialized vessel designed to store gases or liquids at extremely low temperatures, typically below -150°C (-238°F). These tanks feature advanced insulation systems to maintain the required low temperatures and prevent heat transfer from the environment. Cryogenic storage tanks are crucial for industries that require the safe storage and transportation of liquefied gases such as nitrogen, oxygen, argon, hydrogen, and natural gas.
Types of Cryogenic Storage Tanks
- Flat Bottom Tanks: Large-capacity storage vessels designed with a flat bottom for stable installation on foundations, typically used for bulk storage of cryogenic liquids.
- Horizontal Tanks: Cylindrical vessels mounted horizontally, offering efficient space utilization and ease of transportation.
- Vertical Tanks: Upright cylindrical vessels that optimize floor space and provide efficient storage for various cryogenic applications.
- Spherical Tanks: Designed to distribute pressure evenly across the surface, ideal for high-pressure cryogenic storage applications.
- Double-Walled Vacuum Insulated: Features a vacuum between inner and outer walls to minimize heat transfer, providing superior thermal efficiency.
- Portable Cryogenic Dewars: Smaller, transportable containers designed for laboratory or medical applications requiring cryogenic temperatures.
- LNG Storage Tanks: Specialized for storing liquefied natural gas at approximately -162°C, featuring robust insulation systems.
- Multi-Layer Insulated Tanks: Incorporates multiple insulation layers to achieve extremely low heat transfer rates.
