Cryocontainers

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A cryogenic container (from ancient Greek κρυος (kryos) = frost , ice ) is usually a vacuum-insulated steel container for storing liquefied gases .

Cryogenic containers are designed as double-walled stainless steel containers , the spaces between which are evacuated for better insulation . Depending on the use, there is only one inlet or outlet to the cryocontainer or a lid through which the contents can be accessed.

Such containers are u. a. for the storage of liquefied gases for various industries (e.g. food or steel industry) or for the storage of biological material, e.g. B. stem cells in cryobanks are used.
