LO₂ (liquid oxygen or LOX) cryogenic tanks are specialized containers designed for safe, large-scale storage of oxygen at ultra-low temperatures. These stationary tanks are ideal for industrial plants, hospitals, and oxygen distributors. Choosing the right LO₂ tank ensures reliable cryogenic oxygen storage, minimal evaporation, and continuous supply for medical, industrial, and research applications.
What is an LO2 Cryogenic Tank?
An LO₂ cryogenic tank, also known as a LOX storage tank, is engineered to store liquid oxygen at extremely low temperatures safely. These tanks feature advanced insulation, pressure management systems, and safety valves, making them suitable for stationary bulk oxygen storage in medical, industrial, and laboratory applications.
Types of LOX Cryogenic Tanks
Stationary bulk LO₂ tanks are classified by their orientation: vertical tanks and horizontal tanks. Both types provide reliable cryogenic oxygen storage, minimize boil-off, and maintain oxygen purity for large-scale operations.
| Type | Capacity | Typical Users | Applications | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vertical LO₂ Cryogenic Tank | 5,000–50,000 L+ | Industrial plants, hospitals, oxygen distributors | Bulk oxygen supply, cryogenic processing | Space-saving vertical design; ideal for fixed installations; high-efficiency insulation and pressure management. |
| Horizontal LO₂ Cryogenic Tank | 5,000–50,000 L+ | Industrial plants, hospitals, oxygen distributors | Bulk oxygen supply, backup storage, transport-ready installation | Stable horizontal design for ground-level placement; easier access for connections and maintenance; suitable for fixed or semi-mobile applications. |
