Refrigerated Gases

"I need a good link(s) for finding out as much as I can about refrigerated A_R as it would be found in a "dewar" type container. I am able to find bits and pieces but was hoping to find something more informative with no luck...yet."

Do you have specifics as to the information sought?

Air Products SAFETY GRAM #8 LIQUID ARGON

Just needing general basics right now. Temp, volume etc.

What I am looking to do is use it as a cooling system. I am suspecting about 20' 1/8"-3/16" dia tubing coiled around a separate tube (they will share insulation) of greater temp that I wish to cool.

The idea is that by using a flow control I can recirc back into the dewar vessel and have a gradual reduction to effeciencey yet a lenghty lifespan of the cooling system

Any particular or compelling reason to use L.Argon? I was under the impression that it was a bit pricey due to rarity. Is temperature critical?

Liquid Nitrogen has better availability and price

Nibbling near my proprietary hedges my fellow. Alas no worries. In fact glad to share.

I want as low an achievable temp as possible that is all. Hydrogen would be great with exception to the Kabang. The thought is that I will be re-introducing the warmer gas to the cooler vessel to achieve a long cooling cycle via m.f.c.

I am sending this response prior to review of your link.

CR3: Just now had chance to check bp's and fortunately LN2 boils off at nearly 50 deg colder.

Do you have to replace what I will call the 'process' gas. If so a counter-flow heat exchanger would precool it with the boil off. All depends on volumes etc.

Good luck. SS

I am so far over my head I have to proceed. I suspect you might understand.

I am going to do a bit more research and then pose more targeted questions.The project is quite large minded, albeit a small device, and I have more pressing work at hand. This old idea has a habit of popping up now and again and I am at a point where I will be needing expert help (help which I cannot afford presently) but I keep an aye on the lurker all the same.

much obliged,

CR3
