LN2säiliöissä

LN2säiliöissä is a Finnish term that translates to "in LN2 tanks" or "in liquid nitrogen tanks." It refers to the storage or use of substances within cryogenic containers designed for liquid nitrogen. Liquid nitrogen, also known as LN2, is a liquefied atmospheric gas with a boiling point of -196 degrees Celsius (-320.8 degrees Fahrenheit). Its extremely low temperature makes it highly effective for rapid cooling and preservation.

LN2säiliöissä are commonly used in various scientific and industrial applications. In laboratories, they are essential for storing biological samples such as cells, tissues, and DNA at ultra-low temperatures, ensuring their long-term viability. Medical fields utilize LN2säiliöissä for cryopreservation of reproductive cells (eggs, sperm) and for cryosurgery, a procedure that uses extreme cold to destroy diseased tissue.

Industrial applications of LN2säiliöissä include the rapid freezing of food products to preserve freshness and extend shelf life, as well as in metal treatment processes like shrink-fitting components. The inert nature of nitrogen also makes it useful for purging and blanketing to prevent oxidation or combustion in sensitive environments. The design of these tanks typically involves vacuum insulation to minimize heat transfer and maintain the cryogenic state of the liquid nitrogen.
