Industrial LNG Cylinder Production Line

LNG (liquefied natural gas) cylinders are crucial components for heavy trucks, ships, and storage and transportation equipment. Their production must meet high-pressure, ultra-low temperature (-162°C) requirements, as well as stringent safety standards. Modern automated production lines achieve high-quality and efficient production through precise machining, intelligent assembly, and digital management. Here is a comprehensive analysis of the LNG cylinder automated production line.

    Description

    • 1. Special characteristics of materials and processes Adaptation to low-temperature materials: Metals must pass the -196℃ Charpy impact test (impact energy ≥ 27J). Thermal insulation technology: The vacuum insulation performance requirement is ≤ 0.2W/m·K (daily evaporation rate < 0.3%).

    • 2. High precision manufacturing requirements The roundness error of the inner liner should be ≤ 0.5mm, and the straightness should be ≤ 1mm/m. The control accuracy of the vacuum interlayer spacing is ±0.1mm.

    • 3. Strict safety standards Compliant with international standards such as ISO 11439 (for vehicles) and EN 13458 (for fixed installations). Full life cycle fatigue test (> 15,000 pressure cycles).

    •4. Intelligent Upgrade Digital Twin: Simulate the distribution of low-temperature stress (such as through ANSYS simulation). Robot welding: The qualification rate of TIG welding by robots is over 99.5%.
