The Transfer of Liquefied Gases

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Advances in Cryogenic Engineering ((ACRE,volume 1))

Abstract

The methods of transporting liquefied gases may be divided into two general classifications. Liquefied gases can be transported either by batch lots in special containers called dewars or by flow through special insulated piping called transfer systems. Each has its unique advantages and disadvantages. Transport containers are expensive, but they can move unlimited distances. On the other hand, transfer systems are relatively inexpensive and can transport liquids at high rates, but distances are limited.
