Liquid Nitrogen (LIN) is a cryogenic liquid form of Nitrogen that has been cooled and compressed to a temperature of approximately -196°C (-321°F) at standard pressure. It is composed of nitrogen, which is the most abundant gas in Earth’s atmosphere, making up about 78% of it.
Liquid nitrogen is produced by air separation, which involves cooling and compressing air to separate its components based on their boiling points. Nitrogen gas, which has a boiling point of -196°C, is separated from other gases such as oxygen, argon, and carbon dioxide, which have higher boiling points. The resulting nitrogen gas is then liquefied by further cooling and compression to produce liquid nitrogen.
Liquid Nitrogen are transported and stored in cryogenic containers, such as T75 ISOTanks, that are designed to maintain the low temperature of LIN
