Dewar flask, also known as a thermos flask, is a more ideal container and tool for storing liquid gases, cryogenic research, and crystal component protection. The modern Dewar bottle was invented by Sir James Dewar, a Scottish physicist and chemist.

Heat transfer (or heat transfer) is a physical phenomenon in physics that refers to the transfer of heat energy due to temperature differences. Heat is used in heat transfer to measure the change in the internal energy of an object. There are three basic forms of heat transfer: heat conduction, heat radiation, and heat convection. As long as there is a temperature difference within or between objects, heat energy must be transferred from high to low temperatures in one or more of these three ways.

a. Compared to compressed gas cylinders it is capable of holding large volumes of gas at relatively low pressures.

b. Provides an easy-to-operate source of cryogenic liquids. Due to the robustness and reliability of the Dewar cylinder, its long retention time, and its own gas supply system, it can continuously output normal temperature gases (oxygen, nitrogen, argon) with a flow rate of up to 10m3/h using its built-in vaporizer and a high constant gas output pressure of 1.2Mpa (medium pressure type) and 2.2Mpa (high-pressure type), fully meeting the gas requirements under normal circumstances.

If the user has a large gas flow, multiple Dewar flasks can be connected in parallel or with an external vaporizer to meet the gas supply requirements. By adding an external vaporizer, the large output flow of a single Dewar cylinder can reach 50m3/h.

Dewar bottles can provide diversified uses, such as direct gas supply at the work site, which is used in a form similar to compressed gas cylinders; small and simple pipeline centralized gas supply; low-temperature liquid use, etc.

Dewar flask is a super vacuum insulated stainless steel pressure vessel designed for the storage, transport, and use of liquid oxygen, liquid nitrogen, liquid argon, or carbon dioxide for the reliable and economical transport and storage of cryogenic liquid gases as well as for the in-situ storage and supply of liquid gases in a wide range of applications.

The structure and components of the Dewar bottle are the outer cylinder, inner cylinder, vaporizer, liquid valve, safety valve, discharge valve, pressure gauge, booster valve, service valve, and liquid level gauge.

Dewar flask is vaporized by absorbing heat from the outside of the outer chamber, which means that the heat exchange between the inside and outside is relatively intense. At the same time, the self-evaporation of the liquid inside the Dewar vessel determines that if it is left unused for a long time, the pressure rise will cause the safety valve to jump, and the liquid consumption of the Dewar bottle will increase. Therefore, Dewar bottle is not suitable for long-term storage of cryogenic liquids. The sensitivity to heat also dictates that Dewar bottles should be stored at the lowest possible ambient temperature. Open storage, exposure to the sun, and storage near heat sources are all unsuitable.

The safety valve is released to eliminate unnecessary losses caused by self-evaporation, so Dewar flask should be guaranteed a certain amount of gas. It is recommended that Dewar bottles be put into circulation and used immediately upon arrival.

Dewar flask holds low-temperature liquid inside. It consists of an inner and outer container with a high vacuum zone in the middle. Crushing, dropping, or tipping under any circumstances may affect the insulation performance of the Dewar bottle. Therefore, care must be taken when handling Dewar flask.

Because of the low-temperature liquefied gas involved, the storage, handling, and use of Dewar bottles differ greatly from that of seamless steel cylinders.

a. Check the bottle for any serious damage.

b. Check the bottle for abnormal frosting.

c. It is strictly forbidden to touch the explosion-proof piece and its protective cover device.

d. It is strictly forbidden to touch the protective cover device at the vacuum joint.

e. Do not connect the wrong valve, especially pay attention not to connect the liquid phase and gas phase valves wrongly.

f. Maintain a certain amount of dosage, generally not less than 9 standard cubic meters per day.

g. Do not vaporize at high speed for a long time to prevent the temperature of the gas supply from dropping and leading to frosting of the outer bile.

The supply pressure and volume of the Dewar bottle can be adjusted in a certain range. The basic steps are as follows.

a. Install a suitable pressure-reducing valve on the connector of the gas valve for the Dewar bottle.

b. Connect a suitable gas line between the gas-using equipment and the pressure-reducing valve.

c. Open the booster valve; by observing the pressure gauge, the pressure can be increased to the setting of the economic regulator (medium pressure 140psig, high-pressure 315psig).

d. Open the gas valve, adjust the pressure-reducing valve to the proper gas pressure and start using gas.

e. Close the valves of all Dewar bottles when you are finished using gas.

The rate of liquid supply using Dewar bottles is adjustable, depending on the gas phase pressure of the liner and the saturation temperature of the liquid. For safety reasons, it is recommended to reduce the bottle pressure as much as possible when using liquids. The basic procedure for liquid use is as follows.

a. The inlet and outlet valves of the Dewar bottle to which the line is connected.

b. Connect the ramming line to the container to be filled. If it is an open container, an anti-splash device must be installed at the end of the filling line.

c. Open the filling valve and emptying valve of the container being filled.

d. Open the inlet and outlet valves of the Dewar bottle and control the flow rate.

e. After filling, close the valve of the container being filled, close the inlet and outlet valves of the Dewar bottle, and open the venting valve on the filling line to empty the residual liquid and gas in the filling line.

f. Remove the filling line from the container being filled, or remove the open container.

Close all valves and transport to a cool place for storage.
