High Capacity Railroad
Tank Cars for Cryogenic fluids, or Cryogenic Tank Cars for short, are
used for the transportation of super-cold fluids such as liquid
oxygen, nitrogen, and argon. These tank cars solved the problem of
maintaining extremely low temperatures while transporting large
quantities of these materials over long distances.
Curious as to how cold
these cars could keep liquid oxygen? How about -297 degrees F.
Liquid nitrogen kept at -320 F. And liquid argon at -302 degrees F!
These high capacity tanks
could transport more than 15,000 gallons of liquid oxygen - - which is
about double what any of its predecessors could do! See below for
model features.
