COHMED TrainingSlide No. 1January 24, 2010 Cryogenic Cargo Tank Training Cargo Tanks - Refrigerated Liquid Transport

COHMED TrainingSlide No. 2January 24, 2010 Definition of Cryogenic Liquid  A cryogenic liquid means a refrigerated liquefied gas having a boiling point colder than -90ºC (-130ºF) at kPa (14.7 psia) A material meeting this definition is subject to the requirements of the HMR without regard to whether it meets the definition of a non-flammable, non-poisonous compressed gas [see 49 CFR § (g)]

COHMED TrainingSlide No. 3January 24, 2010 Cryogenic Liquids and Their Boiling Points -244 º F -258 º F -273 º F Krypton Methane Ethylene Oxygen Argon Neon Nitrogen Hydrogen Helium -297 º F -410 º F -423 º F -452 º F -302 º F -320 º F NOTE: Atmospheric gases turn solid at boiling points for neon, hydrogen and helium

COHMED TrainingSlide No. 4January 24, 2010 Potential Hazards of Cryogenic Liquids  Frostbite on skin caused by short term exposure to very low temperatures  Large volumes of gas generated by high expansion of liquid to gas (~800x expansion ratio)  Flammable gas/air mixtures resulting from leaks  Asphyxiating atmosphere resulting from leaks of non- flammable gases  Leaks caused by components shrinking at very low temperatures  “Oxygen rich” liquid air condensing on outside of transfer hoses or piping caused by very low temperatures  Damage to carbon steel and elastomeric components resulting from exposure to cryogenic temperatures  Unexpected functioning of safety valves or bursting discs on containers
