Cryogenic liquids, such as liquid oxygen, liquid nitrogen, liquid argon, liquid hydrogen, etc., need to be stored and transported in specially designed containers to ensure their stability and safety. These containers are often referred to as cryogenic containers or cryogenic liquid storage tanks.
Cryogenic containers vary depending on the design, purpose, and type of liquid being stored. For example, containers with ordinary insulation structure are usually used for the storage and transportation of liquefied natural gas, a large amount of liquid oxygen and liquid nitrogen; high-vacuum insulation containers are generally only made into small ones, mainly used for the storage and transportation of liquid oxygen, liquid nitrogen and liquid argon; vacuum powder insulation and vacuum fiber insulation containers can be used for the storage and transportation of liquid oxygen, liquid nitrogen and liquid hydrogen; and vacuum multi-layer insulation containers and containers with liquid hydrogen screens or conduction screens are particularly suitable for the storage and transportation of liquid hydrogen and liquid argon.
In addition, the types of cryogenic liquid storage tanks include plate storage tanks, jumper storage tanks, spherical storage tanks, and fixed residence storage tanks. Each type of tank has its own unique design and purpose to suit different storage and transportation needs.
When using cryogenic liquid storage tanks, it is necessary to strictly follow the safety operation procedures to ensure the integrity and stability of the storage tank and prevent safety accidents caused by improper operation. At the same time, regular maintenance and inspection of the tank is also essential to ensure its long-term, safe and efficient operation.
Therefore, when choosing a container for storing cryogenic liquids, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the most suitable type of cryogenic container according to factors such as the type of liquid, storage capacity, use occasions and safety requirements.
