20M3 Cryogenic Storage Tank

Cryo Storage Tank

A cryo storage tank is a specially designed container used to store and transport liquid gases, such as nitrogen, oxygen, argon, helium, and hydrogen, at extremely low temperatures.
Cryo storage tanks are highly insulated to minimise heat transfer and to maintain the very low temperatures required for the stored liquefied gases.
Cryogenic storage tanks from DSW Industry come in a range of sizes and configurations to suit different storage capacities and site requirements.

Advantages

  • Reduced boil-off for cost-efficient storage
  • Durable and corrosion-resistant materials
  • Customisable to meet specific industrial requirements
  • Compliant with global safety and manufacturing standards

20 M3 Cryogenic Storage Tank

DSW Cryogenics offers small and bulk cryogenic storage tanks that can be utilized for many applications with the highest quality standard designs per customer requirements.
These tanks are available in sizes ranging from 2,000 to 35,000,000 litres, and all vessels are built to meet the customer’s requirements.
The DSW’s tanks include superior vacuum technology for the highest thermal performance and feature all-stainless-steel piping for strength and corrosion resistance.
These vacuum-insulated pressure vessels store cryogenic liquefied gases like nitrogen, hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide.

Key Features

Cryogenic storage vessels consist of three critical components, each designed to ensure safe and efficient storage of ultra-low temperature liquids:

Inner Pressure Vessel
When exposed to cryogenic temperatures, a vessel is usually made of stainless steel or other materials with favorable strength characteristics.
Outer Vessel
A vessel made of carbon steel or stainless steel. Under normal operating conditions, this vessel retains the insulation around the inner pressure vessel and maintains a vacuum around the inner container. Typically, the outer plate is not exposed to cryogenic temperatures.

Insulation
The space between the inner and outer vessel, containing several inches of insulating material, is maintained in a vacuum. The vacuum and insulating material help to reduce heat transfer, thereby reducing the boil-off of the liquid oxygen, liquid nitrogen, or liquid argon stored within the vessel.

20M3 Cryogenic Storage Tank , LOX storage tank
A complete range of vertical and horizontal cryogenic vessels are designed and manufactured to the highest international codes and quality standards;
The pressure vessel is ASME, Section VIII, Division 1. It has both Canadian (CRN) and Chinese pressure vessel approval. It is easy to operate and comes with an extended vacuum warranty.

Cryo Storage Tank Specifications – Oxygen, Nitrogen, and Argon
Cryogenic stationary tanks are specifically designed to store cryogenic liquefied gases under pressure for extended periods. Inner vessels are made of austenitic stainless steel and cold stretched for selected medium / high-pressure models. These tanks are available vertically or horizontally and suitable for  LIN, LOX, LAR, LNG, CO2, and N2O.
