Multi-Layer Insulated Pressure Vessels for Transportation
Mobile cryogenic systems require vessels that maintain temperatures during transport while meeting transportation safety regulations. Roben Manufacturing's multi-layer insulated pressure vessels are engineered for the demanding requirements of cryogenic transportation.
Transporting cryogenic liquids presents unique challenges—vessels must maintain temperatures during multi-day transit while withstanding road vibration, acceleration forces, and temperature variations. Multi-layer insulation extends holding time, while robust construction ensures safety in transportation service.

Frequently Asked Questions
Multi-layer insulation (MLI) combines multiple insulation materials and techniques—vacuum spaces, reflective barriers, and bulk insulation—in strategic configurations. Each layer addresses a specific heat transfer mechanism, and together they achieve thermal performance exceeding any single material.
Our multi-layer insulated vessels can maintain temperatures from cryogenic (-269°C for liquid helium) through elevated temperatures (300°C+). Insulation systems are custom-engineered for specific temperature requirements and holding time needs.
We calculate expected thermal performance during design using proven thermal models. Completed vessels can be tested for actual heat leak rates. Temperature monitoring during service verifies ongoing performance.
We manufacture multi-layer insulated pressure vessels from laboratory scale through large industrial vessels. Custom sizes are engineered to your specifications with insulation systems scaled appropriately.
Lead times typically range from 16-28 weeks depending on size, complexity, and insulation system requirements. Vacuum-jacketed and super-insulated vessels may require longer lead times.
