Liquid Dewar Cylinder: How They Work

SERLNG - Jan. 17, 2025

Liquid Dewar Cylinder: How They Work

A liquid Dewar cylinder is a vacuum flask used to store and transport cryogenic liquids like liquid nitrogen, liquid argon, liquid oxygen, or liquid carbon dioxide. Dewars are similar to Thermos bottles and are often used in laboratories.

Understanding the Working Principle

At the core of a Liquid Dewar Cylinder is the concept of cryogenic insulation. These cylinders are engineered to minimize heat transfer, preserving the liquefied gas's low temperature. They achieve this through:

  • Double-Walled Construction with Vacuum Insulation: A vacuum layer between the inner and outer shells drastically reduces heat transfer via conduction and convection.

  • Reflective Coating: The inner walls are coated with reflective materials to reduce radiative heat transfer.

  • Pressure Regulation Systems: Built-in pressure-relief valves or regulators safely vent excess gas, preventing pressure build-up.

  • Gas Withdrawal and Liquid Dispensing Systems: These allow controlled withdrawal of gaseous or liquid forms of the stored substance.


Applications of Liquid Dewar Cylinders

SERLNG Liquid Dewar Cylinders are indispensable across various industries, including:

  • Industrial Gases: Transporting and storing gases like nitrogen, oxygen, and argon for welding and cutting.

  • Life Sciences and Medical Applications: Cryopreservation of embryos, sperm, and vaccines using liquid nitrogen.

  • Food and Beverage Industry: Flash freezing with liquid nitrogen to extend shelf life.

  • Green Energy and Hydrogen Storage: Storing and transporting hydrogen and alternative fuels efficiently.


Key Industry Insights

The global cryogenic equipment market, including Dewar Cylinders, is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.8% from 2023 to 2030. Asia-Pacific leads with over 30% of the demand, driven by industrialization and healthcare advancements.


Why Choose High-Quality Liquid Dewar Cylinders?

  • Efficiency and Longevity: Minimize cryogen loss and ensure a stable supply.

  • Compliance and Safety Standards: Adherence to ASME and ISO standards ensures safety and reliability.

  • Customization Options: Tailored solutions for storage capacities, pressure levels, and additional features.


Tips for Choosing the Right Liquid Dewar Cylinder

Here’s what to consider when selecting a Dewar Cylinder:

  • Capacity and Size: Match operational needs with capacities ranging from 10 to 1,000 liters.

  • Pressure Ratings: Choose appropriate pressure levels for your applications.

  • Durability and Insulation Efficiency: Opt for advanced insulation and robust construction.

  • Supplier Credibility: Partner with reputable manufacturers for certified products and support.
