Liquid Cylnders

Liquid cylinders are storage vessels that are specially designed and manufactured to accommodate the super cooled materials that are utilized in a wide variety of cryogenic applications. As these materials often exist in a gaseous state under normal atmospheric pressure and at room temperature, they are commonly referred to as 'liquefied gases' when pressure and temperature conditions have lowered them from the gaseous to the liquid state. Cryogenics itself is the study of the nature and uses of materials that have been cooled to temperatures far below those encountered in nature or in normal working conditions. Though it is a continuously expanding field of applied science, applications for such super cooled or cryogenic materials have already been developed in the aerospace, medical, manufacturing, and computing fields. It is precisely because the uses, and demand, for cryogenic materials have increased dramatically in recent history that Cyl-Tec offers several cryogenic cylinders that can accommodate commonly utilized super cooled liquids and gases like liquid oxygen, argon, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and nitrous oxide.

Though cryogenic substances like liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen are most commonly associated with the space program and rocket fuel, super cooled gases and liquids, and with them the need for cryogenic cylinders, affect the lives of every person in the world today. The chemical processes that are used to create many drugs, for instance, can only occur at extremely low temperatures. Pharmaceutical and medical research laboratories that are involved with developing and producing such drugs, therefore, rely on cryogenic cylinders to store the liquefied gases that are essential to such life-preserving endeavors. In a similar vein, blood banks around the world use cryogenics to preserve rare blood types for long term storage.

Though Cyl-Tec takes pride in being able to supply hospitals, medical research centers, blood banks, and drug manufacturers with the cryogenic cylinders that are needed to give hope to millions of people, our liquid cylinders are also essential for many advanced computing applications, where the super cooled liquids and gases they store are used to optimize the performance of superconducting magnets, and manufacturing, where cryogenic substances are often used to harden materials that are intended for extreme working conditions. Even emergency relief operations, like those that aid earthquake, storm, and other victims of natural disasters, are aided by cryogenic tanks because they allow for massive quantities of food and medicine to be transported across regions without sufficient refrigeration capabilities.

Because the role of cryogenics, especially within computing, where the magnetic and electrical capabilities of super cooled substances are just now being explored, is set to expand in the coming years, Cyl-Tec offers a line of liquid cylinders that is capable of satisfying the needs, both domestic and exotic, of today and tomorrow. Included in that line are five cylinders that are intended for industrial use and two that are perfect for beverage carbonation. With storage capacities that range from a liquid net of 185 liters, with the HP 180, to 266 liters, as with the HP 265, Cyl-Tec's line of industrial liquefied gas cylinders includes cryogenic vessels that can match the needs of small and large manufacturing centers as well as any shop, laboratory, or assembly line. For venues that rely on fast and efficient beverage dispensing to satisfy their customers, we've also developed the NEW Standard in liquid carbon dioxide cylinders: The Fast Fill 500.

Complete with easy to read gauges, combination pressure control regulators, and a vacuum insulation that is guaranteed for five years, all of these models make liquid dispensing and gas withdrawal easy and efficient. Our liquid cylinders, in fact, have the highest gas withdrawal rates and the best product holding time in the industry. Their all stainless steel construction, heavy duty foot ring, and 4-handling ring supports also make them the most rugged cryogenic storage vessels available. As safety is our primary concern, all of our liquid cylinders meet U.S.D.O.T. 4L and T.C. 4LM specifications.
