Cryogenic semi-trailers are specialized vehicles designed to transport extremely cold liquefied gases, such as liquid nitrogen, oxygen, argon, carbon dioxide, and LNG, at temperatures as low as -269°C. These trailers are critical in industries like healthcare, food and beverage, energy, and manufacturing, where maintaining ultra-low temperatures during transport is essential. This comprehensive guide explores everything you need to know about cryogenic semi-trailers, from their design and applications to safety standards and maintenance, helping you make informed decisions for your business needs.
Cryogenic semi-trailers are heavy-duty transport vehicles equipped with insulated tanks to carry cryogenic liquids—gases that have been cooled to extremely low temperatures to become liquid. These trailers are often referred to as "mobile deep freezers" due to their ability to maintain temperatures between -150°C and -269°C, ensuring the safe delivery of sensitive cargo. They are typically constructed with double-walled, vacuum-insulated tanks to minimize heat transfer and preserve the cryogenic state of the liquids.
