The Complete Guide to Cryogenic Transport Technology
Cryogenic trailers are specialized transport vehicles designed to carry liquefied gases at extremely low temperatures—typically below -150°C. These trailers act as both mobile storage tanks and delivery systems, capable of transporting liquid oxygen (LOX), nitrogen (LIN), argon (LAR), LNG, and other cryogens safely and efficiently across long distances.
Their importance lies in their ability to maintain the integrity of volatile substances during transportation, making them indispensable in industries such as energy, medical, metallurgy, and electronics.
Cryogenic trailers are typically composed of double-walled vacuum-insulated tanks that minimize thermal conductivity. The inner vessel holds the cryogenic liquid, while the outer jacket contains insulation materials and vacuum space.
During transport, pressure-building and vaporizer systems maintain the required temperature and pressure. Once on-site, cryogenic pumps and control valves enable efficient offloading to stationary tanks or end-use equipment.
Some of the most frequently transported cryogenic materials include:
Cryogenic trailers are critical in various industries, including:
Transporting cryogenic liquids involves strict compliance with international and local regulations, such as:
Cryogenic trailers must also include safety relief valves, emergency shutoff mechanisms, and temperature/pressure monitoring systems to ensure secure operation throughout the logistics chain.
