The lifespan of a cryogenic insulation tank can be affected by a variety of factors, including material selection, manufacturing process, conditions of use, and maintenance. Therefore, it is not possible to give a specific service life value. In general, if high-quality materials are used, advanced manufacturing processes are employed, and operating practices are followed and maintenance is carried out regularly, the service life of a cryogenic insulation tank may be relatively long.
In practical applications, in order to ensure the safety and reliability of cryogenic insulation tanks, it is recommended to conduct regular inspections and tests to find and deal with potential problems in a timely manner. In addition, depending on usage and changes in environmental conditions, maintenance and replacement of components may be required in due course to extend the life of the insulated tank.
It should be noted that there may be differences between different brands and models of cryogenic insulation tanks, so the relevant product descriptions and technical specifications should be referred to when using and maintaining. At the same time, it is recommended to consult a professional cryogenic equipment supplier or manufacturer for more specific and accurate information.
In conclusion, the service life of a cryogenic insulation tank is a complex issue that requires a combination of factors. By choosing high-quality products, following operating specifications, and maintaining them regularly, you can maximize their service life.
What aspects need to be paid attention to in the maintenance of low-temperature insulation tanks?
The maintenance of cryogenic insulation tanks is an important part of ensuring their normal operation and extending their service life. Here are some key aspects to look out for during
maintenance:
Periodic Inspection & Maintenance
Conduct regular visual inspections of low-temperature insulation tanks to ensure that there are no cracks, corrosion, or air leaks in the tank body, valves, pipes, and other components.
Check whether the connection parts such as flanges and sealing gaskets are in good condition to prevent gas leakage.
Check whether safety accessories such as safety valves and pressure gauges are working properly to ensure their effectiveness and reliability.
To keep the tank dry
Low-temperature insulated tanks are prone to moisture accumulation, especially in high humidity environments, so they need to be regularly removed from the surface of the tank for moisture and frost.
Desiccants can be placed inside the tank or other moisture-proof measures can be used to keep the internal environment dry.
Check the insulation
The insulation of a cryogenic insulation tank is essential to maintain a cold environment, so it is necessary to regularly check whether the insulation is intact and has no damage or detachment.
If there is damage, the insulation material should be repaired or replaced in time to ensure its thermal insulation performance.
Temperature Control
Strictly control the temperature in the cryogenic insulation tank to prevent overheating or overcooling from causing damage to the stored substance and tank.
Check the temperature records regularly to ensure that temperature fluctuations are within the allowable range.
Pay attention to the vacuum between the inner and outer sandwiches
For low-temperature insulation tanks with vacuum insulation technology, the vacuum level between the inner and outer layers needs to be measured periodically.
If the vacuum level is found to drop, the insulation material should be checked and supplemented in time to maintain its thermal insulation performance.
Ancillary Facility Inspection
Check whether the supporting facilities of the low-temperature insulation tank, such as fire sprinkler pipe, lightning protection and lightning protection, and anti-static grounding wire, are in good condition.
Ensure that these facilities are working properly and provide safety for cryogenic insulation tanks.
Records & Reports
After each inspection and maintenance, the content, results and measures taken of the inspection and maintenance should be recorded in detail.
If any abnormal situation or problem is found, it should be reported to the superior in time so that it can be dealt with and solved in a timely manner.
To sum up, the maintenance of a cryogenic insulation tank requires attention to many aspects, from regular inspections, keeping dry, checking the insulation layer to temperature control, etc. Through comprehensive maintenance measures, the safe and stable operation of the cryogenic insulation tank can be ensured and its service life can be prolonged.
