Uses of cryogenic liquid oxygen storage tanks
Cryogenic liquid oxygen storage tanks are a type of equipment specifically used to store liquid oxygen. Its design takes into account the cryogenic characteristics of oxygen to ensure that oxygen can be safely and effectively stored in liquid form. This type of tank usually has a double-layer structure, with the inner layer used to load liquid oxygen and the outer layer used for insulation to reduce the impact of temperature fluctuations on the liquid oxygen in the tank. The inner tank is usually made of austenitic stainless steel, while the outer container can be made of materials such as Q235-B, Q245R or 345R depending on the user’s region. The inter layer between the inner and outer containers is filled with insulating materials such as pear lescent sand or insulation cotton, and the insulation effect is further improved by vacuuming 1.
In addition, cryogenic liquid oxygen storage tanks can also be divided into two types: fixed and transportable according to different usage scenarios. Fixed tanks are mainly used for the storage of cryogenic liquids and are usually installed at liquid production sites, use points or supply stations. Transport tanks are suitable for transporting cryogenic liquids from production sites or supply stations to points of use, including land and water transport, such as tank trucks, trailers and tank ships 2.
