Nano-foam thermal insulation--application of steel tank thermal insulation for liquid natural gas

        The ability of nano foam to withstand high temperature (long-term working temperature is about 150°C, short-term peak temperature can reach 200°C); low-temperature ability (long-term working temperature is about -150°C, short-term peak temperature can reach -180 °C) and flame-retardant, making it competent for more technically demanding jobs.

Researchers have discovered the use of its low temperature stability. When the temperature is about -160°C, the use of nano-foam can keep the steel tank filled with liquid natural gas for a long time. Since the technology for transporting liquid gases currently in use is outdated, this material is extremely advantageous in this respect.

        Further applications include the insulation of hot water tanks and their equipment. The system solution based on nano-foam enables the application of thermal insulation materials on the entire water tank wall.

        By mechanically cutting the shape, the nano-foam can be processed into a thermal insulation material for pipeline protection. While providing thermal insulation, energy loss is controlled, maintenance is simplified, and noise levels are reduced.

        Useful combination: elasticity and stability at low temperatures; in laboratory tests, nanofoams can maintain their properties at a temperature of about -200°c. For this reason, this kind of foam with combined characteristics that can keep the liquid natural gas tank thermally insulated has many advantages: Compared with the conventional foam that is fragile at the same low temperature, this kind of high elasticity and good thermal insulation foam is not affected by low temperature. . It is also possible to combine nano foam with other foams. If a layer of nano-foam is coated on the outside of conventional foam with unique thermal insulation and processability to protect it from the influence of low-temperature liquid gas, the conventional foam can be prevented from breaking.

Liquid natural gas is usually transported from storage sites to consumers via pipelines over a distance of up to 2500 kilometers. If the transportation distance is longer, it is usually more economical to liquefy the gas and use shipping. Since liquid natural gas is stored at extremely low temperatures, it must be transported in containers with efficient thermal insulation.
