LN2 Storage tank
Liquid nitrogen—LN2—is nitrogen in a liquid state at low temperatures. Liquid nitrogen has a boiling point of about −195.8 °C (−320 °F; 77 K). It is produced industrially by fractional distillation of liquid air.

Key Features:
- Wide Range of Capacities: Available in sizes from 1,500 to 264,000 US gallons (6,000 to 1 million liters).
- Pressure Ratings: Designed for maximum allowable working pressures between 175 psig (12 bar) and 37 bar.
- Configurations: Offered in both horizontal and vertical orientations to suit various installation requirements.
- Thermal Insulation:
- Vacuum Insulation: Most LN2 tanks use a vacuum insulation technique where a vacuum is created between the inner and outer tank walls to minimize heat transfer and maintain the extremely low temperature of liquid nitrogen (-196°C or -320°F).
- Multilayer Insulation: Some tanks also use multilayer insulation (MLI) composed of reflective layers to further reduce heat ingress.
- Advanced Insulation: Equipped with Perlite or Composite Super Insulation systems, ensuring superior thermal performance, extended hold times, and reduced life-cycle costs. The lightweight design also lowers operational and installation expenses.
- Construction Materials: Typically made of stainless steel or aluminum, materials that offer strength and resistance to extreme cold temperatures.
- Double-Jacketed Construction:
- Inner Vessel: Made of stainless steel for durability and purity.
- Outer Shell: Constructed from carbon steel with an integrated support and lifting system, facilitating easier transport and installation.
- Corrosion Resistance: Features a durable coating that maximizes corrosion resistance and meets environmental compliance standards.
These features ensure that DSW’s LN2 bulk storage tanks provide reliable and efficient storage solutions for a variety of industrial applications.
