Leybold Vacuum Solutions for Cryogenic Vessels, LNG and LH2 Storage and Transport: Precision in Every Micron

 

Modern cryogenic technologies form the backbone of global energy, medicine, and high-tech industries. Vacuum is a key element in ensuring the safety and efficiency of storing and transporting liquefied natural gas (LNG), liquid hydrogen (LH2), and other cryogenic substances. Leybold, a global expert in vacuum technology, offers reliable solutions for vacuum insulation of cryogenic vessels that meet the strictest industry standards.

 

Why is vacuum critical in cryogenic systems?

 

Cryogenic vessels for LNG and LH2 must not only withstand extremely low temperatures but also minimize heat loss over extended periods. This is achieved by creating a deep vacuum (down to 10⁻⁶ mbar) between the inner and outer layers of the vessel, preventing heat transfer by convection and conduction.

 

High-quality vacuum insulation:

 

🔹 Reduces cryogenic liquid evaporation

🔹 Increases safety during transport

🔹 Lowers operational costs

🔹 Extends equipment service life

 

Leybold solutions for cryogenic vessel production and maintenance

 

Vacuum Equipment

 

DRYVAC – dry screw pumps

✔ Ideal for creating primary vacuum

✔ Oil-free to avoid contamination of insulation space

✔ Energy-efficient and low maintenance

 

RUVAC – booster pumps

✔ Accelerate achievement of ultra-high vacuum

✔ Enhance degassing line productivity

 

TURBOVAC – turbomolecular pumps

✔ Provide precise final vacuum in the 10⁻⁵ to 10⁻⁷ mbar range

✔ Optimal for high-class vessel production

 

Vacuum Pumping System Solutions

Leybold offers fully integrated vacuum stations for evacuating cryogenic tanks of all sizes—from mobile tanks to stationary storage facilities. Integration with helium leak detection systems (e.g., PHOENIX series) ensures 100% tightness.
