I'm fairly new at cryo engineering. What are the problems with using copper tubing and soldered joints (other than shrinkage) for carrying:
1. Dehumidified air at its dewpoint
2. Liquid nitrogen at 120 psig
3. Nitrogen gas at 120 psig, 150 K
I'd assume that the solder joints would break due to...
It depends on the city you are in. Here in Seattle, the hazardous material fire codes state a minimum distance of 15ft between oxygen and flammable materials.
