2. Liquid nitrogen - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_nitrogen

   Because the liquid-to-gas expansion ratio of nitrogen is 1:694 at 20 °C (68 °F), a tremendous amount of force can be generated if liquid nitrogen is vaporized in an enclosed space. In an incident on January 12, 2006 at Texas A&M University , the pressure-relief devices of a tank of liquid nitrogen were malfunctioning and later sealed.

3. Cryogenic storage dewar - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryogenic_storage_dewar

   Cryogens present several safety hazards, and their storage vessels are designed to reduce the associated risk. Firstly, no dewar can provide perfect thermal insulation and the cryogenic liquid slowly boils away, which yields an enormous quantity of gas. This is known as the liquid nitrogen evaporation rate. In dewars with an open top, the gas ...

6. Vacuum insulated evaporator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_insulated_evaporator

   A vacuum insulated evaporator (VIE) is a form of pressure vessel that allows the bulk storage of cryogenic liquids including oxygen, nitrogen and argon for industrial processes and medical applications. [1] The purpose of the vacuum insulation is to prevent heat transfer between the inner shell, which holds the liquid, and surrounding ...

7. Cryogenic energy storage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryogenic_energy_storage

   The liquid air, which takes up one-thousandth of the volume of the gas, can be kept for a long time in a large vacuum flask at atmospheric pressure. At times of high demand for electricity, the liquid air is pumped at high pressure into a heat exchanger, which acts as a boiler. Air from the atmosphere at ambient temperature, or hot water from ...
