Air Products Chemical Reaction Cooling Using Liquid Nitrogen

Liquid nitrogen is the most effective way to cool down a chemical reaction, to temperatures below -40° C for faster reactions with complete temperature control.

Air Products fully engineered systems provide an economical solution for direct, semi direct or indirect cooling methods. The power of liquid nitrogen as a refrigerant, coupled with uniformity of the exchange fluid, ensures perfect chemical reaction temperature control. For indirect cooling systems, the gaseous nitrogen may be re-used in other plant processes to improve overall process economics.
