Inner vessel and piping are made of stainless steel that withstands sudden temperature and pressure fluctuations under cryogenic conditions without micro-cracking, while meeting the high surface cleanliness required by the food and electronics industries.

The outer vessel is designed to withstand vacuum; the annular space between the two shells is brought to high vacuum with fine-grain, bubble perlite or super-insulation to provide exceptional thermal insulation and minimize heat ingress.

Correctly dimensioned, bent stainless-steel piping reduces potential leakage points and results in higher operability, less service demand, and fewer welded joints.

For safe pressure management, an aluminum evaporator package and a bronze regulator system are used.

As standard, a three-way direction valve and a dual safety relief valve configuration provide a high-performance safety system.

Remotely routed, easily accessible valves and safety valve outlets ensure safe operation.

Properly designed and positioned lifting lugs help reduce installation cost.

To complete high-capacity cryogenic tank installations end-to-end, we also supply and integrate rock-wool or ceramic-insulated pipelines, atmospheric vaporizers, buffer/storage tanks, and other cryogenic components—delivering the gas to the process at the required flow rate, pressure, and temperature per your technical specifications. While our high-capacity cryogenic tanks are produced to a standardized design, we offer a wide range of optional configurations to fully meet your technical needs.

Operating Principle of Cryogenic Tanks

These tanks keep liquefied gases at low temperature and appropriate pressure. High vacuum and advanced insulation reduce heat ingress for efficient storage. Products such as Liquid Oxygen, Liquid Nitrogen, and Liquid Argon remain in liquid phase for extended periods at cryogenic temperatures. Minimizing boil-off requires proper design and high-quality perlite/super-insulation plus high vacuum.

Design

For safe manufacture and operation of our cryogenic tanks, we apply the following standards: PD 5500, ASME VIII (Div. 1 & 2; ASME U, U2, R and NB), EN 13458, EN 14015 (BS 2654), API 650, API 6A, ASME B31.3, DNV Offshore Rules, NORSOK Standards, GOST + SNIP Standards, NACE MR0175/ISO 15156, PED 2014/68/EU.
All electrical components are UL-listed and wired in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC).

The high-pressure tank is delivered as a compact, skid-mounted, plug-and-play unit.

Backed by university-supported R&D, we target high safety, low carbon footprint, easy maintenance, and long service life. TSB ENERGY is designed to make you win in operation—not just at purchase.

Ease of Use & Maintenance

User-friendly controls and easy access to components simplify operation and maintenance, reducing downtime and costs. A control system with usage-based maintenance alerts keeps operation safe and straightforward.

Safety

Safety and standards are our top priority. Our cryogenic tanks are equipped with advanced safety features including a three-way valve, dual safety relief valves (one primary, one backup), and a rupture disk for emergency tank depressurization.

Materials

Available as all stainless steel, all aluminum, bimetal aluminum/stainless steel (Al/SS), or bimetal carbon steel/stainless steel (CS/SS).

Efficiency

With a 200 mm interspace filled with perlite under high vacuum, the design delivers maximum insulation and low radiative heat loss.

Customization

Every facility is different. Based on process analysis, we tailor our proven equipment to your needs and provide full-scope engineering and installation support.

Available add-ons for each cryogenic tank:

• Piping systems
• High efficiency
• Simple, easy maintenance
• Robust design for long service life

What Is a Cryogenic Tank? When Is It Used?

Cryogenic storage tanks are specialized pressure vessels designed to store and transport liquefied gases (liquid nitrogen, liquid oxygen, liquid argon, liquid hydrogen, etc.) at very low temperatures. Applications include medical/biomedical, industrial gas production and distribution, food industry, energy (LNG/LH₂), metal processing, electronics, and water treatment.
