LIQUID OXYGEN TANKS (LOX)
Liquid oxygen (Liquid oxygen (Lox)) is the physical liquid form of elemental oxygen. Liquid oxygen is light blue in color. Liquid oxygen has a density of 1.141 g/cm³ (1.141 kg/L or 1141 kg/m³) and has a boiling point of −182.96 °C. The expansion ratio of liquid oxygen is 1:861 at 1 atm and 20 °C. Due to its cryogenic nature, objects in contact with liquid oxygen become very fragile.
Liquid oxygen is produced in large quantities in air separation plants, which liquefy the air and decompose it into oxygen, nitrogen and argon. Commercially, liquid oxygen is used as industrial and medical gas in industry and for medical purposes.
Cryogenic liquid oxygen tanks are needed for the storage and long-term use of liquid oxygen, which is a cryogenic liquid. In order to isolate liquid oxygen from the ambient temperature, perlite is filled between the inner tank and the outer container, and isolation is provided by vacuum process. For the efficient and ergonomic use of Cryogenic Liquid oxygen tanks, the insulation process must be done correctly.
When liquid oxygen turns into gas through evaporation, the pressure of the inner tank increases. For the safe operation of Cryogenic Liquid Oxygen Tanks, it is vital that the necessary safety equipment is fully located on the tank and that it initiates the evacuation processes correctly at the prescribed pressure levels.
As "AS Cryogenic", we are more sensitive about the insulation and safety measures of the tanks we produce. In this way, our products are used safely for many years by our customers who prefer us. When our customers prefer us with reasonable prices, they not only gain but also minimize the operating costs during the use of the tank.
