What is VBC? |
|
| It is an abbreviation of Vacuum Barrier Corporation which is a leading company in the American liquid nitrogen supplying facility market. Since 1958, the company has made a lot of efforts to address all kinds of problem in the industry handling the cryogenic liquid nitrogen, developed vacuum jacketed pipe for liquid nitrogen supply which is bendable and acquired the pertinent patents. Up to date, the company has held achievements more than 650KM in the world which have been applied to various industries including food & beverage, semiconductor, automobile, research center etc. |
|
Characteristics of system |
|
| Bendable pipe, LN©ü Dosing (LN©ü injection), Inerting(oxygen purging) system of VBC can reduce 80% amount of nitrogen consumed in the industry facilities requiring LN©ü. Also, it can supply LN©ü from LGC or LN2 Tank outside the building; the pipe system is a high vacuum Jacketed type, can be used without dew condensation, also can be modified into various system routes. |
|
| Convenience of installing |
| ¡¤ Quick installation as it is designed bendable |
| ¡¤ Easy installation in connect with equipment |
| ¡¤ Connection to the pipe is Clamp method, featuring outstanding workability without welding |
|
| Cost reduction |
| ¡¤ Can be recovered the annual investment cost when considering labor cost in using LGC, all kinds of cost following it, and LN©üLoss. |
| ¡¤ If LN©ü is continuously used, the amount of loss continuously decreases and it could reduce more cost. |
|
| Maintenance |
| ¡¤ Maintenance cost not needed. |
| ¡¤ Only the vacuum pump needs to be managed periodically. |
| ¡¤ Good correspondence following equipment shift. |
|
| Service & Support |
| ¡¤ Strict quality management |
| ¡¤ Proper stock holding for customers |
| ¡¤ Sustainable technology development and technology training |

System design |
|
| Heat losses |
| ¡¤ Vacuum degree of Semiflex System is 10-6 Torr, maintaining high vacuum status. In comparison with loss of LN©ü of the actual equipment, it is designed to reduce the amount of loss as much as possible. |
|
| Equipment connection |
| ¡¤ The end of the pipe is designed to use End Trap specially manufactured in order to supply pure LN©üto the equipment connecting part. It can reduce loss of LN©ü by minimizing the non-vacuum part that occurs inevitably in the connection part. Also it is designed to install safety valve in order to avoid damage from excessive pressure build-up in confined area.
|
|
| Two phase flow |
| ¡¤ It expands 700 times when -196¡É LN (liquid) changes into GN©ü(gas). As some equipment requires pure LN©ü, to maintain it as the status of liquid is a key technology. Semiflex & Triax Piping is designed to depart and discharge liquid and gas. |
|
| Quality management |
| ¡¤ As for Semiflex System, two tests are made before and after assembly. |
| ¡¤ Before system assembly, vacuum test requires using helium gas, testing whether to leak helium at the high vacuum status at 10-6 Torr. |
| ¡¤ After completion of System assembly, test of vacuum degree has also been made at the same time of -196¡É LN2 Flow test which can satisfy the site condition. |
|
| Design support |
| ¡¤ On the basis of the long experiences of VBC, we offer technical support on the matters regarding the current production and expecting problems of customers, and are ready for taking a customer¡¯s site visit at any time. |
