High-Pressure Liquid Oxygen Storage Tank

Project Overview

The High-Pressure Liquid Oxygen (LOX) Storage Tank is a cryogenic-grade pressure vessel specifically designed for the secure containment and regulated supply of liquid oxygen used in aerospace propulsion testing. Developed for the Beijing Aerospace Test Technology Research Institute, this tank supports advanced experiments related to LOX-based rocket engines, oxidizer feed systems, and deep-cooled storage under high pressure.

The design balances structural robustness, thermal integrity, and cryogenic compatibility, fulfilling stringent aerospace safety and precision requirements.
