Precautions for liquid oxygen storage tanks
Liquid oxygen storage tanks are used for transportation and storage equipment
Liquid oxygen storage tanks are used for transportation and storage equipment, in order to ensure safety, we need to understand the corresponding knowledge to avoid the occurrence of danger.
Liquid oxygen is non-flammable, but it can be strongly ignited, and the fire hazard is class B. It is usually not spontaneous combustible in contact with fuel.
It is not normally self-igniting when in contact with fuel, but if two liquids are touched together, liquid oxygen will cause the liquid fuel to cool and solidify. The mixture of solidified fuel and liquid oxygen is sensitive to impact and often becomes explosive under pressure.
There are two types of combustion reaction, depending on the mixing ratio of oxygen and fuel and ignition: one is the fuel and liquid oxygen in the mixing did not fire, but this mixture when ignited or subjected to mechanical impact can occur when the explosion; the other type of liquid oxygen and fuel contact with each other before or during the contact of combustion has already begun to ignite or combustion and accompanied by repeated explosions.
The intensity of the combustion reaction depends on the properties of the fuel.
