Overview

Liquid oxygen (LOX) tanks hold oxygen as a cryogenic liquid at about -183 °C, which takes far less space than the same mass of compressed gas. A stainless steel inner vessel sits inside an outer shell with vacuum insulation between them; a pressure-building circuit keeps the tank at working pressure and a vaporiser turns liquid into gas for use. Micro-bulk tanks replace cylinder banks at hospitals, workshops and plants, while vertical or horizontal bulk tanks serve larger users. FGR Online supplies these tanks as Hong Hui Machinery's registered distributor for Southern Africa and quotes the capacity, pressure class and delivery to suit your site.

Typical applications

  • Medical oxygen supply for hospitals and clinics
  • Oxygen for cutting, welding and metal fabrication
  • Water and wastewater treatment and aquaculture oxygenation
  • Process oxygen for chemical, glass and mining operations
  • On-site oxygen in place of high-pressure cylinder banks
