Nitrogen Unit
Nitrogen pumping unit AP-II
THIS NITROGEN PUMPING UNIT IS MOUNTED ON A TRAILER AND CONSISTS OF THREE MAIN COMPONENTS; STORAGE TANK, PUMPING SYSTEM AND HEATER (VAPORIZER).
Liquid nitrogen is stored in a special pressure vessel at -1950 C. (-3200 F.). The vessel is actually no more than a large twin shelled “thermos bottle. The inner tank is a stainless steel pressure vessel which holds the liquid nitrogen. While the outer steel shell provides the insulating space on which a near vacuum is drawn. Approximately 8” of special “perlite” insulation and polished inner surfaces further help reduce radiant heat transfer.
Liquid nitrogen in storage does loose a small percentage of product continuously to vaporization, but can be stored for an extended number of weeks with minimal product loss. Liquid nitrogen from the tank flows to a “boost pump” through stainless steel pipes. This boost pump is a hydraulic centrifugal pump with cryogenic liquid handling capabilities. The boost pump raises the pressure of the liquid nitrogen up to 827 kPa (120 PSI). The nitrogen at 827 kPa (120 PSI) is then fed to a high pressure cryogenic pump. This pump is a positive displacement “Triplex” pump that can deliver pressures up to 10,000 PSI (70 mpa). The “Triplex” pump raises the pressure of the liquid nitrogen up to required working pressures. From the high pressure pump the liquid nitrogen is forced through a series of stainless steel coils which are heated by hot air from a diesel burner. The liquid nitrogen in these coils absorbs heat and is gasified.
This gaseous nitrogen at 100 – 650 C. (500 – 1500 F.) is the final product which flows down the line for its various service applications
