DOWNERS
GROVE, Ill., Nov. 20,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- ACME Cryogenics, part of OPW Clean Energy
Solutions and Dover (NYSE: DOV), today announced the
addition of the XL Bore Vacuum-Jacketed Piping (VJP) to its
portfolio of cryogenics-handling products. The new VJP has been
designed to help maintain cryogenic liquid's extremely cold
temperature, prevent leaks and transfer the full array of
high-volume cryogenics, including liquefied natural gas (LNG),
liquid hydrogen (LH2), liquid oxygen (LOX), carbon dioxide (CO2)
and helium. Many of these cryogenics are used in aerospace
applications for space exploration, especially for fueling.
"Handling and transporting cryogenic liquids requires plenty of
care as they must be kept at extremely cold temperatures. They must
not be allowed to return to their gaseous state, and they must be
shipped in volumes large enough to satisfy the needs of a
space-launch operation or fuel a fleet of transport trucks, ships,
barges or planes," said Bennett
Allred, Director of Technical Sales and Installation
Services for ACME Cryogenics. "The
design and operation of the XL Bore Vacuum-Jacketed Piping helps
maintain the integrity of the user's cryogenics-handling processes
while meeting the highest industry standards for safety,
reliability and cost-effective performance."
Like foam-insulated piping, VJP consists of a "pipe within a
pipe" design including an inner pipe that carries the cryogenic
liquid and an outer pipe that seals the annular space between the
pipes. What makes VJP unique is its inner pipe, which is wrapped
with thin sheets of multi-layer insulation that is coated with a
metallic material, usually aluminum, to block radiative heat
transfer. This design allows VJP to operate maintenance-free for 20
or more years.
