ACME Cryogenics Adds XL Bore Vacuum-Jacketed Piping To Its Portfolio of Cryogenics-Handling Products – Liquid Hydrogen Included
Hamilton, OH, October 14, 2024 – ACME Cryogenics, a part of OPW Clean Energy Solutions, is pleased to announce the addition of XL Bore Vacuum-Jacketed Piping (VJP) to its portfolio of cryogenics-handling products. The new XL Bore VJP has been designed to outperform typical foam-insulated piping in terms of maintaining the cryogenic liquid’s super-cold temperature, leak prevention and high-volume transfer of the full array of cryogenics, from liquefied natural gas (LNG),liquid hydrogen (LH2) and liquid oxygen (LOX) to carbon dioxide (CO2) and helium. 90 vpsa oxygen system
Bennett Allred, Director of Technical Sales and Installation Services for ACME Cryogenics, said :
Handling and transporting cryogenic liquids requires plenty of give and take as they must be kept at extremely -cold temperatures, they must not be allowed to return to their gaseous state and they must be shipped in volumes large enough to satisfy the needs of a space-launch operation or to fuel a fleet of transport trucks, ships, barges or planes,
“The design and operation of XL Bore Vacuum-Jacketed Piping is able to maintain the integrity of the user’s cryogenics-handling processes while meeting the highest industry standards for safety, reliability and cost-effective performance.”
ACME Cryogenics has a long history of developing VJP systems with piping configurations ranging from 1 /2” x 2” to 12” x 16” – and now has created its first 16” x 18”, 20” x 24” and 24” x 28” XL Bore VJP systems. Similar to foam-insulated piping, VJP consists of a “pipe within a pipe” design with an inner pipe that carries the cryogenic liquid and an outer pipe that seals the annular space between the pipes. Unlike foam-insulated piping, however, the inner pipe in a VJP system is wrapped with thin sheets of multi-layer insulation (MLI) that is coated with a metallic material, usually aluminum, that blocks radiative heat transfer. This design allows the VJP to operate maintenance-free for 20 or more years.
These pipes are built in 40-foot “spools” (also called “sticks” or lengths) and shipped to the job site 15 at a time via transport trailer. Like all other ACME VJP systems, the XL sizes are engineered to offer superior insulation performance, minimize heat leaks, enhance operational efficiencies and be a more cost-effective solution than foam-insulated piping.
