Nitrogen cryogenic unit

Cryogenic unit 180К represents system of converting cryogenic liquefied nitrogen to gaseous nitrogen with heating it and pumping with high temperature.

Two pumps and evaporator are connected with diesel power pack, during operation of which energy from cooling system is converted to heat for nitrogen evaporation.

15° — 20°С (60°F — 70°F) gas temperature on discharge line at rate up to 40 m3/min (up to 90,000 SCFH).
