Cryogenic Storage Tanks
DSW is one of the top providers in the cryogenics tanks market, offering our customers standard and custom-made accessories and storage for cryogenics worldwide.
Our wide range of liquid storage tanks – as well as valves and hoses of all sizes, are used to safely store and transport cryogenic gases (LIN, LOX, LHe, LAr and LH2).
Cryogenic storage tanks actively store a wide range of substances at extremely low temperatures, usually below -150°C. These tanks can accommodate various materials, including gases like liquid nitrogen and liquid helium and liquids such as liquid oxygen, natural gas, and hydrogen.

Cryogenic Storage Tanks
Cryogenic storage tanks are the most significant and durable type of cryogenic vessels.
Liquid Oxygen Tank: These tanks store and transport liquid oxygen, maintaining it at temperatures below -183 degrees Celsius (-297 degrees Fahrenheit).
Liquid Nitrogen Tank: Liquid nitrogen tanks store and transport liquid nitrogen, maintaining it at temperatures below -196 degrees Celsius (-321 degrees Fahrenheit).
Liquid Argon Tank: Designers create liquid argon tanks to store and transport the substance at temperatures below -186 degrees Celsius (-303 degrees Fahrenheit).
Liquid Carbon Dioxide Tank: These tanks store and transport liquid carbon dioxide, maintaining it at temperatures below -78 degrees Celsius (-108 degrees Fahrenheit).
LNG Tank: LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) tanks are specialized cryogenic storage tanks that store and transport natural gas in liquid form. LNG is cooled and maintained at temperatures below -162 degrees Celsius (-260 degrees Fahrenheit) to achieve liquefaction for efficient storage and transportation.
Cryo storage tanks are made of high-grade stainless steel and have vacuum insulation to maintain the low temperature of their contents.
They also have safety features such as pressure relief valves, rupture disks, and level gauges to prevent leaks and ensure safe operation.
Cryogenic liquids are substances with a boiling point below -130degF and are among the most frequently utilized industrial gases stored at cryogenic temperatures for handling, transport, or storage purposes.
Examples include nitrogen, hydrogen, oxygen, helium, and argon.

Material Selection
Cryogenic equipment is made of different materials, including stainless steel, aluminum, and carbon steel. The material used in constructing cryo vessels will determine its durability, thermal conductivity, and cost.
Stainless steel is the most common material used to construct cryo tanks. It’s durable, resistant to corrosion, and has excellent thermal conductivity. However, it’s also the most expensive material.
Cryogenic storage tanks for liquid nitrogen, liquid hydrogen, and liquid oxygen are commonly found in India, Pakistan, Vietnam, Indonesia, Brazil, Russia, Mexico, the United States, Turkey, Germany, and other countries worldwide.
A complete range of bulk Cryogenic Vessels and solutions deliver proven reliability, reduced maintenance, and the lowest cost of ownership for the full spectrum of liquefied gases.
