What causes the explosion of liquid nitrogen container liquid nitrogen tank?

Answer:

Liquid nitrogen container design has a special shock proof design, in addition to static storage, transport liquid nitrogen tank can also be transported in the use of filling state. But when the tank body receives a very strong shock and shock, it will cause damage to the insulation layer or other parts of the tank, so that the external environment will directly affect the gasification and cause explosion.
Liquid nitrogen is made by compressing and cooling air, and it can be recovered into nitrogen. When the liquid nitrogen is gasified per liter, the temperature will rise by 15 degrees, and the volume expansion will be about 180 times. An explosion occurs when the external temperature and pressure exceed the cooling temperature and pressure that the tank can withstand.
Liquid nitrogen is a special industrial product, which has the characteristics of ultra low temperature, expansion, odorless and non-toxic. With the wide application of liquid nitrogen in precision industry, medicine and food, more and more accidents occur in liquid nitrogen container when filling and storing liquid nitrogen. The explosion of liquid nitrogen container causes damage to the equipment, which can lead to casualties. So what are the main causes of the explosion of liquid nitrogen container liquid nitrogen tank?.
If the use of liquid nitrogen and storage environment ventilation is not good, it will cause indoor nitrogen and hydrogen monoxide gas content concentration accumulation, if the explosion limit, it will cause explosion.
