HANDLING LIQUID NITROGEN: STORING IT SAFELY IN A LIQUID NITROGEN CONTAINER



Nitrogen can be stored in both gaseous & liquid form. Liquid nitrogen is extremely low in temperature and direct contact can burn the skin. It is necessary to ensure that safety precautions are undertaken to avoid damages to the surroundings & the people working with it.
Ensuring safety with liquid cylinders
Liquid nitrogen must be stored in a liquid nitrogen container which has proper insulation & vacuum to handle the liquid. They are completely safe micro cylinders for transporting liquid nitrogen conveniently from one place to another.
The liquid cylinders can resist heavy impact & are designed to combat high-temperature conditions. To monitor the pressure, safety valves are integrated with the liquid cylinders that can be controlled easily. Relief valves & regulators are also installed to monitor the conditions inside the container.
Safety measures while handling liquid & micro cylinders
Even though nitrogen is harmful in nature, workers are more prone to injuries while handling it in liquid form. Liquid nitrogen containers must be transported & maintained with care to avoid damages.
  • Always transport liquid cylinders using a trolley or cylinder cat and avoid moving it with hands.
  • Workers must wear proper gloves & body equipment while transporting for avoiding damages to their skin.
  • While transporting the micro cylinders containing nitrogen from one place to another, they must be attached with a nylon strap inside the truck.
  • Use a powerlift grade for moving the container to a higher platform in order to reduce the threat of the cylinder falling & damaging the surroundings.
  • Keep the cylinder in a cool, dry place & away from sunlight. Ensure that two cylinders should not bump into each other.
INOX considers it their sole responsibility to monitor liquid nitrogen containers and take proper precautions for environmental safety. We are the leading manufacturer of liquid & micro cylinders in India for storing nitrogen. We comply to all the international standards of safety as we utilize resources in manufacturing, oil & pipeline, construction, agriculture etc.

WHAT IS A VAPORIZER? HOW DOES IT WORK? – MUST READ!

Image
Vaporizers are responsible for vaporizing liquefied natural gas and other working fluids. It functions in a similar way like industrial boilers. Vaporizers are used for fluids such as ethane, ethylene, and nitrogen. It also allows heat from a liquid or a gas to pass to a second fluid. The two fluids do not come into direct contact with each other. Vaporizers generally work to heat or cool buildings or help engines and machines to work more efficiently. They do not build up higher pressure and are commonly used for low-pressure heat transfer. Key benefits of using a  cryogenic vaporizer : Using a  cryogenic vaporizer  can provide an array of different benefits. It eradicates the re-condensation of vapor in the supply lines which may create perilous situations. Moreover, it eliminates the ‘freeze-ups’ of tanks which results in production delays or loss. Even heavy end accumulations can be prevented. It helps to decrease overall costs and even delivery frequency. Besides,

Understanding Ambient Air Vaporizer Made Easier Now

Image
Ambient air vaporizer is used to vaporize Nitrogen, Oxygen, LNG and other cryogenic liquids at extremely low temperature. The frost formation occurs because of a huge temperature difference between ambient air and cryogenic fluid. Uncomplicated heat exchanges are used to vaporize liquefied gas by making use of heat absorbed from ambient air. Due to the simplification with which the process is carried out, these vaporizers don’t need external power; they use ambient air as the source of energy. Ambient vaporizers are used in a wide range of application throughout the industry. They are vertically oriented heat exchanges. Notably, vaporizer’s vertical orientation creates natural downdraft because of warmer air which is lighter than the cold dense air. Designing of Ambient Air Vaporizer is created after considering many factors including the environmental effect which is a prominent criterion. While designing fan-assisted and natural draft vaporizers, basic climate zones are
