cycles.

Cryogenic Applications
A cryogenic liquid is defined as a liquid with a normal boiling point below -240°F
(-150°C, 123°K). The most commonly used industrial gases that are transported,
handled, and stored in the liquid state at cryogenic temperatures are argon, helium,
hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen. Typically, applications that require cryogenic
valves are liquefied gases that are used in various processes. These gases would
include the above. Operation temperatures range from minus 109 F (for CO2) to
minus 452 F (for Helium). In addition, there may be processes and reactions in
industries we serve that are carried out at lower temperatures. See
http://www.trgn.com/database/cryogen.html for properties of the major cryogens.
The major producers and suppliers of these gases are Air Liquide, Praxair, Air
Products, and BOC to name a few. Additional contacts are supplied on attached
sheet “Cryogenic Targets”. These gases would be used by the industries we serve
for chilling process (cooling) and perhaps reactants for specific processes.

Cryogenic Air Separation
Cryogenic gas producers operate hundreds of cryogenic air separation plants around
the world - from smaller on-site customer facilities - to the largest plant of its kind in
India.
Cryogenic air separation technology is used by many industries that rely on an
uninterrupted supply of atmospheric gases. Cryogenic air separation plants produce
tons of oxygen, nitrogen, and argon efficiently and safely every day.
How It Works
The process begins with the intake of huge volumes of air from the atmosphere. The
air is compressed and purified before entering the cryogenic equipment package. The
air is cooled to about -300°F (-185°C) and then, relying on different boiling points,
separated into its elemental components in the form of liquid oxygen, argon and
nitrogen.
Cryogenic system components include:
An air compressor
A pre-purifier
An insulated package containing cryogenic equipment (cold box)
A cooling system
Computer controls
Back-up supply

Oxygen
Praxair has long been a premier supplier of pure oxygen and bulk storage equipment to medical
facilities. Beyond supplying bulk oxygen, Praxair also:
• Designs and installs safe, smoothly functioning bulk liquid oxygen storage systems for
efficient supply.
• Familiarizes you and your staff with sometimes confusing federal, state, and local
regulatory codes governing oxygen supply installations.
• Provides minimum 24-hour reserve supplies of bulk oxygen.
• Installs Praxair's Tracker™ or similar computerized remote monitoring system
• Ensures that your oxygen supplies are not interrupted during supplier changeover or a
new bulk storage installation.
• For homecare assistance, Praxair, or in Canada its subsidiary Medigas, provides three
systems which deliver oxygen: concentrators, compressed gas systems, and liquid
systems.

• Acetylene
• Air
• Argon
• Carbon dioxide
• Helium
• Hydrogen
• Methane
• Nitrogen
• Oxygen
• Propane
Sterilant Gases
Praxair supplies ethylene oxide-based sterilant gases. These gases are used in the sterilization of
a variety of medical devices, surgical equipment, and similar materials used in the healthcare
industry. Our Specialty Gases operations utilizes special cylinder cleaning and inspection
procedures to ensure the purity of these products, minimizing polymer problems.
Liquid Helium
Helium is used as a component of breathing mixtures to reduce the density of the mixture to
facilitate breathing under certain physical and physiological conditions.
In Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) machines, helium cools electromagnetic coils to
superconductive levels. This decreases the metal's ordinary resistance to the electrical current
and results in high-resolution images.
Nitrogen
Nitrogen is used as a component in many gas mixtures and as a displacement medium for sterile
equipment. It is also used as a non- oxidizing displacement medium in pharmaceutical vials and
as a propellant in pressurized aerosol type dispensers. Nitrogen provides a source of pneumatic
pressure to power gas-operated medical devices and as a coolant for carbon dioxide surgical
lasers.
Nitrogen is also used to freeze and preserve blood, tissue, semen and other biological specimens
and to freeze and destroy diseased tissue in cryosurgery and dermatology. It may also be used to
pre-cool or insulate Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) machines which conserves helium.
Carbon Dioxide
Carbon dioxide is used for close-to-physiologic atmospheres for the operation of artificial organs
and in cryosurgery with insufflators during laparoscopic surgery. Carbon dioxide is also used as a
component in a mixture of oxygen or air as a respiratory stimulant to promote deep breathing.
Nitrous Oxide
Nitrous oxide is used as an analgesic, often in combination with other agents for the production of
anesthesia. Nitrous oxide is also used in cryosurgery.
Medical Air
Medical air is used in respiratory therapy and humidity treatments using nebulizers
