Cryogenic storage tanks are specialized containers designed to store liquefied gases at extremely low temperatures, typically below -150°C (-238°F). These tanks are crucial for industries relying on the storage and transportation of gases like liquefied natural gas (LNG), liquid hydrogen, and liquid oxygen.
Designing and optimizing these tanks require meticulous attention to materials, insulation methods, structural integrity, and safety features. Advanced insulation materials and structural analysis techniques are utilized to minimize heat transfer and ensure the tanks can withstand extreme pressures and temperatures.
Optimization efforts aim to maximize storage capacity, minimize energy consumption, and maintain the desired temperature conditions for the stored substances.
