Main components of liquid oxygen storage tanks
Liquid oxygen storage tanks are containers used to store liquefied oxygen.
Liquid oxygen storage tanks are containers used to store liquefied oxygen. Their main function is to keep oxygen at extremely low temperatures to maintain its liquid state.
Inner tank: The inner tank is the main container for storing liquid oxygen and is usually made of high-strength materials to withstand low temperatures and high pressures. The material of the inner tank needs to have excellent low-temperature performance, such as stainless steel or aluminum alloy.
Outer tank: The outer tank is usually a structure to protect the inner tank and prevent the external environment from affecting the temperature of the inner tank. The outer tank also provides additional physical protection.
Insulation layer: The insulation layer is located between the inner and outer tanks and is mainly composed of vacuum insulation materials, foam glass, expanded glass beads, etc., designed to reduce heat transfer.
Safety devices: Including pressure relief valves, safety relief valves, liquid level sensors, etc., to ensure that the storage tank can operate safely under abnormal conditions (such as overpressure or leakage).
