Optimize Cryogenic Systems with Cellular Glass Insulation

Cryogenic systems utilize extremely low temperatures (often below -150°C) to store and manage liquefied gases such as nitrogen, oxygen, and natural gas. Effective insulation is extremely important for these systems to operate efficiently and safely and maintain the necessary conditions without excessive energy use. Owens Corning offers advanced cellular glass insulation products for cryogenic applications that provide robust thermal control and reliable performance in these demanding industrial environments.

                  More about Owens Corning Cryogenic Systems Products

                  In cryogenic applications, selecting the proper insulation is crucial for reducing energy consumption and enhancing safety. Cryogenic storage tanks often feature double walls with insulation up to one meter thick to maintain consistent temperatures. Cellular glass insulation offers excellent thermal resistance, preventing gas vaporization and mitigating risks from high-pressure build-up. These products are effective across various cryogenic applications, including tanks and piping systems, addressing challenges like thermal bridging and condensation. 

                  Cellular glass insulation products can be applied to tanks, piping, valves, flanges, and more components of cryogenic systems. Cryogenic piping insulation is necessary for maintaining the efficiency and safety of the fluid transport system, preventing heat ingress, and ensuring consistent temperature control. Cellular glass insulation has been trusted since the 1960s for tank base insulation systems and thermal protection for cryogenic tanks. Owens Corning’s insulation is recognized worldwide for its effectiveness in insulating cryogenic tanks; its High Load Bearing (HLB) solutions are particularly suitable for LPG, LNG, LOX, and LNI tanks. Specific high load-bearing cellular glass insulation products are core components in over 90% of the world’s LNG tank base insulation systems, showcasing their importance and reliability in this challenging field. 

                   From elbows and curved segments to T-pieces and end caps, this insulation is available in various forms, allowing for tailored coverage and performance solutions. Many of our insulation products are prefabricated for fast and easy installation, which is crucial in cryogenic settings to minimize downtime and ensure precise fitting. The rigid nature of cellular glass also supports the structural integrity of systems under the mechanical stress typical in cryogenic environments.
