Frequently asked questions

What is cryogenic equipment, and how does it work?

Cryogenic equipment refers to specialized machinery designed to handle extremely low temperatures, typically below -150°C. It is crucial for the storage, transportation, and processing of materials such as liquefied natural gas (LNG), hydrogen, and other cryogenic substances. The process involves creating an environment that maintains these substances in their cryogenic state, allowing for safe storage, transfer, and use.

How does cryogenic transportation differ from traditional shipping methods?

Cryogenic shipping differs significantly from traditional transportation methods because of extremely low temperatures. Unlike standard shipping, which deals with materials at regular temperatures, cryogenic transportation involves the movement of substances in a cryogenic state. Special containers, known as cryogenic tanks, are used to maintain the low temperatures and high pressure required for materials like LNG or liquid nitrogen. The vessels, insulation, and safety protocols are tailored to handle these extreme conditions, ensuring the integrity of the transported cryogenic materials.

How does cryogenic equipment contribute to clean energy solutions?

Cryogenic equipment plays a crucial role in advancing clean energy solutions by facilitating the storage, transportation, and utilization of alternative fuels. LNG, when used as a fuel, produces lower emissions of greenhouse gases, contributing to reduced environmental impact. In addition, the cryogenic storage of hydrogen is efficiently used in fuel cells for various applications, promoting a more sustainable energy landscape.

In which industries is cryogenic equipment integrated?

Cryogenic equipment is seamlessly integrated into diverse industrial processes across sectors such as manufacturing, food processing, and healthcare. MAN Energy Solutions offers cryogenic solutions for marine and onshore projects
