Different application scenarios of liquid oxygen storage tanks
Liquid oxygen storage tanks are widely used in different application scenarios, covering medical, industrial, scientific research and space exploration. The following are the main applications of liquid oxygen storage tanks in different application scenarios:
Medical applications:
Oxygen therapy: Liquid oxygen storage tanks are used to supply medical oxygen for oxygen therapy treatment, including oxygen masks, oxygen helmets, etc.
Operating Room: In the operating room, liquid oxygen storage tanks provide high-purity oxygen to support the patient’s breathing during surgery.
Industrial applications:
Metal Cutting and Welding: Liquid oxygen can be used in metal cutting and welding by combining it with fuel gas to create a high temperature flame.
Chemical production: In some chemical industry processes, liquid oxygen is used in reactions as an oxidant.
Research and laboratories:
Scientific research: In the laboratory, liquid oxygen can be used to support some experiments, especially those requiring high-purity oxygen.
Refrigeration experiments: Liquid oxygen has a refrigeration effect in cryogenic experiments, such as those in the fields of physics and materials science.
Rocket engine:
Space Exploration: Liquid oxygen is used as an oxidizer in rocket fuel to provide propulsion. In space exploration, liquid oxygen storage tanks are an important part of spacecraft and rockets.
Environmental control:
Waste gas treatment: In some environmental control systems, liquid oxygen is used for waste gas treatment, such as sewage treatment and garbage incineration.
Shipping and storage:
Liquid Oxygen Tank Trucks: Liquid oxygen tank trucks are used for safe transportation from the manufacturing plant to the point of use.
Stationary Storage Tanks: Some large industrial and medical facilities may use stationary liquid oxygen storage tanks for long-term storage.
Life support system:
In some special environments, such as submarines and astronaut life support systems, liquid oxygen storage tanks are used to provide the oxygen needed for breathing.
The application of liquid oxygen storage tanks is very wide due to its characteristics of high purity, high density and low temperature. In any application, careful handling and operation are required to ensure safety and performance.
