Abstract
A critical component of any cryogenic system is the manner in which the fluid is to be stored and transported. Storage-vessel and transfer-line design for such systems has become rather routine as a result of the wide use and application of cryogenic fluids. Such vessels for these fluids range in size from 1-liter flasks used in the laboratory for liquid nitrogen to 160,000-m3 double-walled tanks for temporary storage of liquefied natural gas before being transported to overseas destinations. These storage vessels for cryogenic fluids range in type from low-performance containers, insulated with rigid foam, cork, or fibrous insulation to high-performance containers insulated with evacuated multilayer insulations. The overriding factor in the type of container chosen normally is one of economics and safety. It is just common sense to select a higher-performance container for storing more expensive cryogenic fluids because the loss rate is minimized.
