Why Should Liquid Ammonia Cylinders be Placed in Water?
 

The liquid ammonia cylinder is a special gas storage container that stores high-pressure liquid ammonia gas inside. Since liquid ammonia has a strong vapor pressure at normal temperature and is prone to gas leakage, the liquid ammonia cylinder is stored in water. When the liquid ammonia cylinder is placed in water, the immersion in the water can lower the temperature of the liquid ammonia and reduce the generation of liquid ammonia vapor, thus reducing the risk of gas leakage. At the same time, placing the liquid ammonia cylinder in the water can also prevent the cylinder from being damaged by external forces.

 

Precautions for Storing Liquid Ammonia Cylinders in Water
 

 

When storing liquid ammonia cylinders, first check whether the cylinder is damaged. If it is damaged, it should not be placed in water. The water quality put into the liquid ammonia cylinder also needs to be clean to avoid the impact of impurities or pollutants in the water on the liquid ammonia cylinder or liquid ammonia. The height of the cylinder in the water should ensure that the water level does not exceed half of the cylinder. An excessively high water level may cause liquid ammonia leakage. Cylinders should be stored away from machinery and equipment and other items that are prone to collision to prevent safety issues such as liquid ammonia leakage due to collisions. The room where liquid ammonia is stored should be kept ventilated. If work needs to be performed in the room, workers should wear appropriate safety equipment.
