Low temperature storage and transport of liquid
Many volatile liquids may only be stored or transported with low heat or excessive pressure will build up in the vessel. Important applications in the storage and transportation of liquid methane, at a temperature of around 250C.
Liquid carbon dioxide has many industrial applications and stored at power plants for blowing furnace boilers and oil tankers to clean gasoline tanks. Pressure vapor, carbon dioxide is high, and the storage tanks may reach the critical temperature of 31C. Storage temperature -20 -4C corresponding to a pressure vessel 19-30 bar can be supported by a single-stage refrigeration system with evaporator inside the insulated vessel for storage. For security, the majority of refrigeration systems in two copies.
Mass transport of volatile liquids such as ammonia may be insulated, refrigerated tanks, providing cold liquid inlet and journey time is limited...
