Improve safety in cryogenic dispensing applications with Insulon Safe Dispensing Hose
Details
Insulon Safe Dispensing Hose helps improve safety by minimizing condensation. Vacuum insulated with advanced Insulon Technology, Insulon hoses typically have a smaller outer diameter than other vacuum jacketed hoses. Plus, there is the option to exclude multi-layer insulation (MLI) for an even more compact, lightweight design.
In complex manufacturing environments, Insulon Hose consumes less space to ease routing and configuration.
In cryogenic dispensing applications, the compact design improves safety for operators without sacrificing ergonomics.
Advanced Vacuum Insulation Undergoes 500°C Thermal Shock Test
Details
Withstanding thermal shock is critical for reliable, high-performance insulation components. In this video, an Insulon vacuum insulated can undergoes a thermal shock test at 500°C without suffering any measurable decrease in performance. Insulon is built with proprietary technology that supports the long-term integrity of the vacuum space, even at high temperatures. Concept Group engineers design Insulon components for environments up to 815°C or higher, depending on the application.
In addition to thermal shock, advanced vacuum insulation can deliver high-performance insulation while undergoing thermal cycling. If sudden or extreme temperatures occur in your application, it is important that your components and materials have high thermal shock resistance.
In addition to thermal shock and thermal cycling, some systems also require components that can withstand mechanical shock or vibration. Inform us of any mechanical or thermal shock parameters so that your Insulon component is optimized for your unique application.
Protect sensors and instruments from thermal damage with ultra-thin, high temperature vacuum insulation
Details
Sensors need to stay within their operating temperature range in order to function properly. Overexposure to heat or cold can damage the sensors, reduce their operating life, and lead to degradation or failure. Insulon thermal barriers protect sensors and other delicate components.
An ideal insulator for space-constrained applications, Insulon Technology provides a passive thermal solution in a low-profile package. The thinnest Insulon components have less than 0.25 mm in overall wall thickness (including both stainless steel walls and the vacuum barrier).
Schlieren and thermal imaging demonstration of Insulon vacuum insulation
Details
This video includes two demonstrations of Insulon advanced vacuum insulation using three optical systems: a regular camera, a thermal camera, and a Schlieren setup.
In the first demo, hot air (650°C) is transported through two tubes. The first tube is built with Insulon advanced vacuum insulation. The second tube is uninsulated. Insulon retains heat inside the tube, conserves energy, and reduces external surface temperature.
In the second demo, LN2 (-196°C) evaporates from two open-top cans. The first can is built with Insulon advanced vacuum insulation, and the other can is uninsulated. The LN2 quickly evaporates from the uninsulated can. The Insulon can slows down the boil-off, helping to conserve LN2.
Liquid nitrogen demonstration: Ultra-high performance vacuum insulation for cryogenic liquids
Details
Cryogenic storage containers and piping systems need to maintain cryogenic liquids at ultra-low temperatures. Without proper temperature control, cryogenic liquids vaporize into gaseous form. This vaporization process, or “boil-off,” can cause problems for cryogenic systems, leading to material losses, energy inefficiencies, and a reduction in overall system performance.
Proper thermal insulation is crucial to maintaining these subzero systems. Vacuum insulation is one option for providing high-performance insulation for cryogenic systems.
Vacuum insulation can help cryogenic piping and storage containers maintain ultra-low temperatures by minimizing heat transfer into the system. Reducing the incoming heat can help minimize boil-off, contributing to the conservation of cryogenic liquids and supporting system function.
Cryogenic transfer lines may include straight or bent piping, as well as flexible tubes and hoses. All types of cryogenic transfer lines require high-performance insulation to guard cryogenic materials while in transit. Straight or flexible vacuum insulated pipes provide insulation for various cryogenic fluids, including liquid nitrogen, liquid helium, liquid oxygen, liquid hydrogen, and liquid argon.
Wel- suited for small bore pipe insulation, Insulon vacuum insulation specializes in ultra-thin, small-bore vacuum insulated tubes, pipes, and hoses. Our patented technology and manufacturing capabilities allow for diameters as low as 24 gauge.
The demo in the video above compares the thermal performance of a ½ inch Insulon vacuum insulated tube to an air-insulated tube and a non-insulated tube. As you can see in the video, Insulon maintains the external surface temperature closer to ambient temperature and prevents the accumulation of condensation or frost.
