【Ethylene Tank Farm Technology】Why is an insulation layer needed for ethylene spherical tanks?
Thread Content
Why is a thermal insulation layer needed for ethylene spheres, and what material should be used? The temperature of ethylene at the operating pressure is -34°C; to prevent an increase in its temperature from raising its saturated vapor pressure, the ethylene storage tanks are insulated using polyurethane insulation or foam glass.
Ethylene spheres require an insulating layer in order to maintain the ethylene at a low temperature, preventing an increase in its temperature from raising the saturated vapor pressure and thus ensuring storage safety. Common insulation materials include polyurethane and foam glass. .
