Large Scale Cryogenic Systems and Transport of Cryogens

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce a Special Issue entitled "Large Scale Cryogenic Systems and Transport of Cryogens".

There are currently many large-scale projects that require cryogenic temperatures in the planning or construction phase or are already in operation. These include research projects for fusion and various accelerators with superconducting components. However, there are also many large industrial cryogenic systems, such as air separators and liquefiers for various gases (e.g., LNG, LN₂, LO₂, LNe, LH₂, and LHe). In addition to actual liquefiers, other cryogenic components are also required, such as cold compressors, supercritical He pumps, or secondary circuits. For the transport of liquefied cryogenic gases, very large cryogenic containers are sometimes required, and thermal insulation, boil-off gas management, and container pressure play very important roles here. The sloshing of liquids and measures (e.g., special fittings) to counteract this are also the subject of repeated investigations.

Both original research articles and comprehensive review papers are welcome. Experience reports from large-scale plants in operation are also welcome in order to support those currently being planned.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Cryo is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1000 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
