Cryotanks, also known as cryogenic tanks, are essential for storing and transporting substances at extremely low temperatures, typically below -150°C. These tanks are commonly used for the storage of liquefied gases, such as hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, and argon, as well as for the storage of biological samples and medical products that require low-temperature storage. This […]
