The tank vaporizer can be powered by solar panels.
In remote operations, it may not be possible to get electricity from a regular land line. Without electricity, the digital control panel, its level, pressure, and telemetry would not work. Without these numbers, liquid nitrogen or oxygen delivery to refill the mobile tank vaporiser cannot be planned correctly. The Air Gas Mobile Tank Vaporiser Unit, which is cooled by a solar panel, is designed to deliver large amounts of nitrogen or oxygen in gas or liquid form to remote sites without making any plans ahead of time. The product supply will be controlled and efficient, and the carbon footprint will be minimized. The main problem that this Solution tries to solve is the fact that a traditional tank vaporiser usually has to make a lot of trips in order to keep working nonstop, which could lead to extra CO2 emissions.
