Several issues in the design of liquid nitrogen pipelines
Thread Content
I would like to ask the experts: when designing liquid nitrogen pipelines, should more compensators be used and less natural compensation? According to the chief engineer of Kanagawa Airports, if there are too many elbows, liquid nitrogen tends to vaporize more easily. Is that true?
What are the main reasons why elbows cause gasification? Is the volume expansion caused by the dead corners at turns, or is it due to the bends making it harder to maintain insulation and thus leading to increased vaporization?
