Liquid Argon Transport Vehicle

Core Advantages: Safety as the Foundation, Efficiency as the Enabler

1. Cryogenic insulation technology strictly controls evaporation loss

The liquid argon transport vehicle adopts a double-walled vacuum insulation structure. The inner cylinder is made of high-quality S30408 stainless steel, which has excellent low-temperature resistance and corrosion resistance, and can stably adapt to a liquid argon storage environment at -186°C. The outer cylinder is reinforced with Q345R alloy steel plates, and the middle layer is filled with high-performance insulation materials to create a high vacuum environment, forming a multi-layer high-efficiency thermal insulation barrier. This barrier can maximize the blockage of heat conduction, reduce daily evaporation loss to an extremely low level, and significantly improve transportation economy. At the same time, the tank structure of the liquid argon transport vehicle has undergone precise mechanical calculations and is equipped with a wave-proof plate design. Its effective area is greater than 40% of the tank's cross-sectional area, which can significantly reduce the impact force generated by liquid sloshing during transportation and ensure the stability of vehicle travel.

2. Comprehensive security protection and controllable risks throughout the entire process

The liquid argon transport vehicle is designed and manufactured in strict accordance with international authoritative standards (including the European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR), the American Society of Mechanical Engineers Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (ASME VIII), the United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods (UN TDG Regulations)) and China's mandatory standards (GB 7258, GB150, etc.), establishing a comprehensive safety protection system. The tank body is equipped with a dual-channel independent pressure relief system, including a main safety valve and a backup bursting disc device, which can respond to pressure fluctuations in real time to eliminate the risk of overpressure. It integrates an emergency shut-off device, an anti-static grounding system, and an anti-rollover stabilizing structure, which can avoid potential safety hazards such as leakage and static electricity accumulation during loading, unloading, and driving. In addition, the liquid argon transport vehicle can be equipped with an intelligent monitoring system, which collects key data such as pressure, liquid level, and temperature in real time through high-precision sensors. Combined with the Global Positioning System (GPS), it achieves visualized control throughout the entire process, provides immediate warnings for abnormal situations, and ensures safe and controllable transportation throughout the entire journey.

3. Lightweight and efficient design, adaptable to diverse needs

The liquid argon transport vehicle adopts a self-developed lightweight frame and walking mechanism, optimizing the vehicle weight while ensuring structural strength and increasing effective loading capacity. The liquid argon transport vehicle offers a variety of volume specifications ranging from 5 to 50 m³, covering both single-vehicle and semi-trailer models, meeting different transportation distance and volume requirements. The single-trip transportation volume far exceeds that of traditional argon cylinders (≤50kg/cylinder), making it particularly suitable for continuous gas usage scenarios in large factories. It can achieve continuous large-scale gas supply after vaporization, with a gas supply efficiency increased by more than 20% compared to traditional methods. At the same time, the liquid argon transport vehicle is equipped with a vaporizer larger than 300 cubic meters, supporting rapid liquid loading and unloading operations; optional configurations such as high-speed filling pumps and high-precision mass flowmeters can further enhance loading and unloading efficiency and metering accuracy.

4. Combining durability and adaptability, optimizing operational costs

The body of the liquid argon transport vehicle adopts a three-layer automotive-grade coating process, providing excellent corrosion and wear resistance. It can adapt to complex road conditions and harsh climatic environments worldwide, effectively extending the vehicle's service life. The chassis is matched with a heavy-duty truck chassis from an internationally renowned brand (customizable according to customer regional requirements), featuring strong power and stable load-bearing capacity. It has been rigorously tested under harsh road conditions and proven to be easily adaptable to diverse scenarios such as intercontinental long-distance transportation, port and dock transfer, and on-site scheduling in industrial parks. The entire vehicle is easy to maintain, with key components having strong universality, which can effectively reduce maintenance costs and downtime in the later stages, ensuring long-term stable operation in various markets worldwide.
