Product loss is a number one concern in cryogenics, and is easily preventable with the right hose. While traditional cryogenic hoses do have some insulation (typically foam or polymer insulation), heat leak is still a problem.

A lot can go wrong, and fast, when a cryogenic system has a problem. Whether it’s abnormally cold temperatures, abnormally high draw rates, or any disruption or failure with equipment downstream, the situation becomes dangerous for personnel and equipment. Recognizing the need for a failsafe safety device, Generant developed the LTAP.

When it comes to selecting a vaporizer, there are a couple of options to choose from: ambient or electric. Here’s a quick breakdown of each vaporizer type and how they work.

## [Quick Tips for Choosing Cryogenic Valves](https://rmi.rmimfg.com/ratermann-blog/quick-tips-for-choosing-cryogenic-valves)

Choosing the right cryogenic valve comes down to a handful of considerations, each of which narrows the choices so that you find the right valve for your application. Because cryogenic liquids (nitrogen, oxygen, helium and hydrogen) are stored at extremely low temperatures (typically -150C / -238F or lower), you need valves designed to function properly at those low temperatures. Below are the top considerations for choosing a valve:

Flow rate and pressure are constant concerns with cryogenics. When the demand for gas outpaces the output of the liquid cylinder, both pressure and flow rates will drop accordingly. This is when a vaporizer can save the day.

Every component of a bulk tank is important for its operation, but from a safety standpoint, the single most important part is the diverter assembly. Why? It holds the main ASME pressure relief valves that are crucial for safe tank operation and preventing catastrophic failures. Every tank that Ratermann sells has a Herose diverter assembly included.
