A pressure vessel is a container designed to hold gases or liquids at a pressure substantially different from the ambient pressure. Pressure vessels are used to store and transmit liquids, vapors and gases under pressure.
Process Vessels : Used in industries for mixing, separating, or processing fluids.
Chemical and petrochemical industries
Power plants
Oil and gas refineries
Food and beverage industry
It is a container designed to contain liquefied gas at an extremely low temperature.
Double-Walled Construction : Cryogenic vessels typically feature an inner pressure vessel and an outer jacket. The space between these layers is evacuated to create a vacuum, significantly reducing heat transfer and maintaining the low temperatures required for cryogenic liquids.
Insulation Techniques : Advanced insulation methods, such as multi-layer insulation (MLI) and vacuum insulation, are employed to minimize heat ingress. MLI consists of multiple reflective layers separated by spacers, effectively reducing radiative heat transfer.
Medical Technology: Cryogenic vessels are used to store medical gases for various applications, including respiratory therapies and surgical procedures.
Electronics: In the electronics industry, cryogenic vessels provide cooling for superconducting materials and other temperature-sensitive components.
Food Industry: Cryogenic liquids are utilized for rapid freezing of food products, preserving texture and nutritional value.
Energy Generation: They play a role in storing liquefied natural gas (LNG) for energy production and distribution.
Due to the extremely low temperatures and high pressures involved, cryogenic vessels must be designed and maintained with stringent safety standards to prevent material embrittlement and ensure structural integrity.
