Study Notes

Cryogenics and Gas Systems

Absolute zero is the theoretical temperature at which all matter would theoretically have zero entropy, defined as 0 Kelvin (K) or −273.15 degrees Celsius (°C) or −459.67 degrees Fahrenheit (°F).

Bulk Gas Systems

A bulk nitrous oxide system is composed of a bulk tank, vaporizer, and distribution piping.

Storage Capacity Requirements

A bulk oxygen system requires a minimum storage capacity of 1,500 liters or a minimum of 3 days' supply, whichever is greater.

Additional Requirements for Bulk Nitrous Oxide Systems

At industrial and institutional consumer sites, bulk nitrous oxide systems require additional safety measures, including ventilation, electricalarea classification, and separation from oxygen systems.
