Design parameters of liquid oxygen storage tanks

The safety of liquid oxygen storage tanks is key to ensuring the safety of liquid oxygen storage and handling processes, because liquid oxygen (LOX) has extremely low temperatures and strong oxidizing properties when in liquid form

Whether during transportation, operation or storage, liquid oxygen tanks must be kept upright and effectively isolated.

LO2 Storage Tank is primarily used to fill and store liquid oxygen (LO2). The usage of thermal insulation is wrapped in a vacuum layer, making the product lighter and more transportable.

Before using liquid oxygen storage tanks, a small amount of liquid nitrogen should be put in to pre-cool it.

Liquid oxygen tanks are special containers for storing liquid oxygen. Their design parameters are critical to ensure the safe and efficient operation of the tanks.

The stainless steel inner tank is suitable for contact with low-temperature media, and the plate thickness can withstand 8 to 16 kilograms of pressure, which is enough to ensure the pressure-bearing safety of the cryogenic liquid oxygen tanks.

The inner liner of liquid oxygen storage tank is made of 16MnDR and the outer liner of liquid oxygen storage tank is made of Q245R or Q345R.The liquid oxygen storage reservoir selects “combination, safety system valve” using two groups of safety valves to work together, in the time calibration of the safety valve can be closed on one side, the other side is still working, to ensure the safe operation of the liquid oxygen storage reservoir.

The working principle of liquid oxygen tanks is a complex and delicate process involving multiple steps.

The protective equipment and appearance of the liquid oxygen storage tank should be in good condition, and purging and cleaning have been completed

Storage of liquid oxygen must be insulated, so the liquid oxygen tank has an inner tank, an insulation layer (or vacuum layer), and an outer shell.

The maintenance of liquid oxygen tanks includes the maintenance of the outer shell and inner cylinder, the maintenance of the insulation system, the calibration of safety accessories, and the maintenance of the vacuum degree.

Evaporation losses in liquid oxygen storage tanks may lead to oxygen waste and environmental impact. Reduce the environmental impact of evaporation losses by optimizing design and operation.

Liquid oxygen storage tanks are mainly used for cryogenic liquid storage of oxygen.

In the medical field, the application of liquid oxygen tanks is crucial. They not only provide an efficient way to store oxygen, but also greatly promote the development of various medical activities.

Material selection for liquid oxygen tanks is critical because they must be able to withstand extreme cryogenic conditions, high pressures, and the highly oxidizing properties of liquid oxygen.

The testing of liquid oxygen tanks covers many aspects, including pressure testing, vacuum maintenance testing, chemical and physical testing, welding quality inspection, leak testing, and emergency response drills.

Liquid oxygen storage tanks are used for transportation and storage equipment

As industrial production and medical needs continue to grow, the demand for oxygen is also rising. Our oxygen storage tanks are designed to provide safe, reliable and economical oxygen storage solutions for a variety of commercial and industrial applications.

Both hazardous and non-hazardous commodities, including liquids, powders, and gases, are transported and stored in tank containers. ISO tanks are composed of stainless steel, insulated, and covered in polyurethane or aluminum for protection. They are therefore a secure and safe choice for moving a broad range of items.

Before using the cryogenic tank, it should be purged with liquid oxygen from a tanker truck to ensure that the dew point of the gas in the tank is no higher than -45°C before it can be used.

Liquid oxygen tanks convert oxygen into liquid by cooling it below its liquefaction point (about -183°C). A vacuum insulation layer is provided inside the tank to reduce the evaporation loss of liquid oxygen. Liquid oxygen is converted into gaseous oxygen for use when needed through an evaporator.

The tank needs to be precooled before filling to avoid overheating when the liquid oxygen comes into contact with the inner wall of the tank.

Liquid oxygen tanks play a vital role in the industrial sector and have a wide range of applications.
