Bespoke solutions for Biological Automatic LN2 installations
Statebourne Cryogenics offer bespoke solutions for liquid nitrogen storage. Our solutions range from simple installations of 20,000 all the way up to a complete installation of a Biobank holding hundreds of thousands of samples. Each installation will be different, but will compose of the following basic systems.
- External supply tank
- Pipeline for the LN2 (super insulated pipeline) and LN2 conservation system
- Internal filling system
- Automatic refrigerators
- Extraction Fan system
- Oxygen alarm with integrated alarm system
The main problems with any pipeline system is consumption of LN2 and the Oxygen alarm always going off when anyone lifts the lid on a LN2 refrigerator. At Statebourne we have a unique solution that is economical on LN2, does not trigger the alarm and keeps samples cold.
The components parts of our LN2 facility solutions are:
- Statebourne Cryogenics manufacture Cryogenic supply tanks that are specific for liquid nitrogen, which will help the entire system. The tanks can be built to suite a specific gas company and all are made from super vacuum technology so will be small in size and compact.
- Tank range from 240 to 10,000 litres
- Low pressure tanks with low pressure relief valves – this saves LN2
- Regulators so pressure can be “tuned” for difficult refrigerators
- Bottom outflow of LN2 for “clean” LN2
- Different designs for different gas companies
- Optional slam shut safety valves for pipeline closure (must be linked to O2 alarm)
- Small foot print so little ground work required
- Option to link level display to lab alarm system
- Statebourne manufacture both upright and horizontal tanks
- Owning your own tank is always cheaper than renting in long term
- Bespoke design and installation service
- Options for flexible insulated lines as well (cheaper to install)
- System control for pipeline control consumption
- Link to slam shut valves and Oxygen alarm
- Hot gas management from pipeline with pipeline de-gas systems
- LN2 dispensing with foot switch or hand switch control
- Slave tank installation with auto-fill system for multiple dispensing (saves Ln2)
- Automatic refrigerators with top up of LN2
- Hot gas by pass system to save 50% of LN2
- Integrated filling of vessels as a whole or in groups to save 20-30% LN2 usage
- Linked family fills to not overload fan system or set off Oxygen alarms
- Incorporating older vessels into filling system
- Linking automatic refrigerators to alarm and temperature logging systems
- Refrigerators with overflow protection to eliminate any LN2-sample contact
- Fill safeguards to prevent overfilling and tank dumping
- Installation of fans system with ducting and scavangers at low level
- Linking fan system to Oxygen alarm, so fans are activated before alarm is activated
- Only using fans when required to save on power, fan life and environment
- Multiple sensors positioned in sensible places
- Linking Oxygen alarm to fan systems
- Linking Oxygen alarms to central read outs
- External and internal alarms
- Generation of mini manuals specific for that installation
- Working scheme of examination for all parts of system
- On site training
- Service back up as well
