SHD LN2 Tanks: The Gold Standard in Liquid Nitrogen Storage Tanks

SHD LN2 Tanks: The Gold Standard in Liquid Nitrogen Storage Tanks

At SHD, we're not just building tanks; we're engineering peace of mind. Our liquid nitrogen (LN2) storage tanks are the culmination of decades of experience in cryogenic solutions, designed for the absolute preservation of valuable resources. From the life-saving preservation of biological samples to the critical needs of industrial gas production, our tanks ensure the safe, efficient, and cost-effective storage of liquid nitrogen at ultra-low temperatures. We understand the stakes are high, and our tanks are built to exceed expectations.

Beyond the Basics: Understanding SHD's LN2 Tank Design

The core of an SHD tank lies in its sophisticated double-walled construction. The inner vessel, the direct contact point with the liquid nitrogen, is meticulously crafted from S30408 austenitic stainless steel. This material is chosen not just for its exceptional resistance to corrosion – a vital requirement in cryogenic environments – but also for its remarkable toughness at extremely low temperatures. Think of it as a vault for your valuable cryogenic assets, capable of withstanding the harshest conditions.

The outer shell, constructed from robust Q245R steel, acts as a protective shield, providing the structural integrity required for long-term reliability. This carefully chosen steel composition ensures the tank's ability to endure external pressures and environmental factors. The marriage of these two materials creates a synergistic effect, maximizing both the preservation capabilities and the durability of the entire system.

Applications Across Industries: SHD Tanks at Work

SHD cryogenic liquid storage tanks are incredibly versatile, excelling in the storage of liquid oxygen, nitrogen, and argon. Thanks to their vacuum powder insulation, these double-layer containers, offered in both vertical and horizontal configurations, are ideally suited for a wide spectrum of applications:

• Industrial Gas Giants: Providing safe, reliable, and large-scale storage for distribution networks, ensuring a consistent supply of critical gases to industries nationwide.

• Healthcare Pioneers: Safeguarding biological samples with precision and facilitating advanced cryosurgery procedures where temperature control is paramount.

• Metalworking Innovators: Enabling controlled cooling and hardening processes, leading to superior material properties and enhanced product quality.

• Welding Professionals: Storing shielding gases safely and reliably, ensuring flawless welds and operational efficiency.

• Food Processing Experts: Facilitating rapid freezing and preservation of food products, maintaining freshness, and extending shelf life.

• Transportation Specialists: Providing secure and efficient transport of cryogenic liquids, enabling global distribution and accessibility.

• Research and Development: Supplying research facilities with the cryogenic liquids required for cutting-edge research, experimentation and development.

SHD Advantage: Where Innovation Meets Reliability

What truly sets SHD LN2 storage tanks apart? It's our unwavering commitment to advanced engineering, unwavering safety, and relentless pursuit of optimal performance:

• Unrivaled Thermal Insulation: Our tanks feature a cutting-edge high-vacuum powder insulation system nestled within the double-wall construction. The space between the walls is filled with precisely selected perlite insulation and meticulously evacuated to create a superior thermal barrier. This painstaking process minimizes heat transfer, drastically reducing boil-off rates and translating directly into significant cost savings for our customers. We don't just meet industry standards; we exceed them, tailoring vacuum levels to specific tank volumes to achieve unparalleled insulation performance. The result? Maximum efficiency and minimal product loss.

• Safety Beyond Compare: Safety is not just a feature; it's the foundation of every SHD tank. Our redundant safety system incorporates both primary and secondary safety valves, providing a dual layer of protection. This "main and standby" configuration allows for routine inspection and maintenance of one valve while the other remains fully operational, ensuring continuous protection against overpressure. This proactive approach mitigates potential risks, safeguards personnel, and protects your valuable investment. It's a commitment to safety that's built into the very DNA of our tanks.

• Intuitive and User-Focused Design: We understand that ease of use is critical. Each tank is equipped with clearly readable pressure gauges, differential pressure level indicators, and liquid level comparators. These instruments provide real-time, intuitive information on storage volume and pressure, simplifying filling, draining, and monitoring processes. The clear and accessible instrumentation enhances operational efficiency and minimizes the potential for errors, empowering your team to manage cryogenic storage with confidence.

• Customization for Every Need: We recognize that no two businesses are exactly alike. SHD offers both vertical and horizontal tank configurations, with storage capacities ranging from 5m³ to 200m³. The inner layer is carefully constructed from Austenitic stainless steel (S30408), celebrated for its exceptional corrosion resistance, strength, and toughness. The outer layer is selected from high-quality mild steel (Q245R). But we don't stop there. We go the extra mile to offer customized solutions based on regional environmental conditions and specific operational requirements. Your needs are unique, and our solutions are tailored to match.

• Proactive Monitoring for Longevity: Each tank includes a dedicated vacuum valve, allowing for regular vacuum level checks using a standard vacuum gauge. This proactive monitoring system enables early detection of potential insulation breaches, ensuring the continued safe and efficient operation of the tank and preventing costly downtime. It's a commitment to preventative maintenance that protects your investment for years to come.
