Aerospace
Space Fuels
Chart’s Bulk Storage and vacuum insulated pipe systems are used on launch pads delivering
extremely high flow rates of liquid hydrogen and oxygen to fuel today’s demanding space
programs. Aerospace applications are extremely precise, requiring higher pressures and
intense analysis of engineering stress and heat leak. Additionally, Chart is able to meet the
precision clean requirements common to these applications.
Medical/Laboratory
Bulk Biological Storage and Research
A sufficient supply of high-quality liquid nitrogen is needed to keep valuable biological
samples stored indefinitely. Today’s top medical research facilities depend on a reliable
liquid nitrogen supply to find cures for tomorrow’s diseases. Any interruption in supply
can result in the loss of many years of research. Chart’s experience in the biological
container market makes us the first choice in Bulk Storage Systems for these applications.

Metal Processing
Heat Treating, Cryotempering, Thermal Spray Coating
Heat treating and cryotempering processes are dependent on the quality of the nitrogen
gas and liquid supply to maintain production at peak performance. With our Bulk Storage
System directly piped to the equipment, these applications are assured of a consistent
supply of nitrogen with minimal operator intervention. In the thermal spray coating process,
oxygen or argon gas is used at high pressure and high flows. With optional packages, your
gas supply will exceed these requirements and provide long-term trouble-free service.
Food Processing
Food and Beverage Packaging
In beverage packaging, CO2 is used in carbonated drinks and liquid nitrogen is used to
create a positive pressure in non-carbonated drinks to improve container rigidity for lower-
cost handling. Additionally, this process eliminates oxygen to improve the products shelf life
(MAP- Modified Atmospheric Packaging). For meat packaging, nitrogen gas yields the same
benefits and when combined with carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide for processing meat,
a longer shelf life of the desired red color is maintained. Our Bulk Storage Systems give you
optimum control of your liquid and gas supply for maximum production uptime.
Food Freezing
Total system cost and efficiency is crucial in food freezing applications. Chart’s superior
insulation technology delivers liquid nitrogen and liquid CO2 with more cooling capacity,
using less gas per pound of frozen product. With our experience and capabilities in providing
complete Bulk Storage and vacuum insulated pipe system solutions, we help maintain the
lowest total cost of ownership by supplying the most efficient system.
General Processing
Electronic Manufacturing and Testing
Electronic grade manufacturing requires an Ultra High Purity gas stream void of
contamination. Our electronic grade tanks are built with all stainless steel construction
from the annular lines to the exterior plumbing to maintain gas purity. For electronic
component testing, Chart works with today’s leading equipment manufacturers to
design and manufacture Bulk Storage and vacuum insulated pipe systems that supply
the flows demanded by today’s thermal stress environmental test chambers.

Siphon 100 system allowing you to utilize 100% of the liquid contents.
The Siphon 100 system combines two revolutionary technologies in cryogenic bulk tanks. Its improved
and patented “thermal-siphoning” system reduces and efficiently reprocesses the heat from pumping.
Additionally, this system’s Composite Super Insulation™ is 30% to 70% more efficient than Perlite in
reducing the heat transfer from the atmosphere.

Thermax Supergap™ Ambient Vaporizers have become the industry standard for ambient air vaporization.
Supergap vaporizers use natural convection of air to vaporize liquefied gases. Finned aluminum tubes
absorb heat from the air and transfer that heat to the product gas. The huge four inch gap between fin tips
provides room for ice growth allowing for more than 500 hours of continuous operation without defrost,
making Supergaps vaporizers ideal for severe climates and long-duration operation. Extended operation
requires a vaporizer switching system. In addition to the standard aluminum construction, units are avail-
able with stainless steel and other alloy liners for high-pressure and corrosive applications.

The Chart Automatic Ambient Vaporizer Switching Manifold reduces the amount of ice build-up in your va-
porizer process to keep them performing at peak efficiency. Designing a vapor system with two indepen-
dent vaporizers provides the most efficient vaporization solution. Minimizing the amount of ice build-up
from overworking a single vaporizer, the controller automatically alternates vaporizers based on the size
and usage of your vaporizer system.
While the unit is operated by electricity, the loss of power does not shut down the vaporizing system; it
simply continues to supply gas through the same vaporizer until power is restored.

The Trifecta® X-Series Gas Supply System is the preferred solution for reliable and continuous laser assist
gases for delivery pressures up to 550 psig and flow rates up to 15,000 scfh. Drawing liquid from a stan-
dard bulk tank, the Trifecta system boosts the liquid pressure by alternately feeding two liquid cylinders
equipped with innovative multi-function pressure building vaporizers. Each cylinder alternates dispensing
liquid to a vaporizer, providing gas to the application. The Trifecta solution has no down-time during liquid
delivery and minimal losses when compared with other laser assist gas solutions. This convenient solution
eliminates high-pressure pumps, compressors, cylinder cradles and surge tanks.

The APPS-160 offers a convenient method of providing low pressure liquid to an installation that is sup-
plied from a bulk tank at higher pressure without the cost of installing two bulk tanks. Liquid nitrogen
saturated at a high pressure flows into the APPS-160 and exits at a much lower saturation pressure and
temperature. Liquid nitrogen enters the APPS-160 unit through an automatic solenoid valve, and exits
through a one-inch vacuum insulated female bayonet. A differential pressure switch maintains the liquid
level in the cylinder.
The internal pressure of the cylinder is controlled by the combination of a pressure switch connected to
the solenoid valve and a back-pressure regulator. If the pressure exceeds the set point of the back-pres-
sure regulator, the pressure switch activates a solenoid valve that rapidly vents the APPS-160 down to the
desired working pressure.
Product Advantages
Allows low pressure liquid and high pressure gas from a single storage vessel
More precise pressure control on liquid use
Mini-bulk storage for under-sized vacuum lines
Two operating pressure ranges available
Stainless steel plumbing
Low cost alternative to two bulk tanks
Cryogenic pipe systems often require valves to properly control the liquid flow to the application. Strategi-
cally located valves control flow to a branch of the system or into a use-point drop. A vacuum insulated
valve has the benefit of extremely low heat leak for minimum gas boil-off, and it eliminates ice build-up
and dripping water.
Product Advantages
Available in many sizes and styles such as T or Y pattern.
Actuators can be installed on valves for control from a remote location or signal. Standard pneumatic
actuators are often used to control flow rate or open and close valves based on the state of a switch,
control system, or oxygen system E-stop switch.
