What is the best type of dewar?


I'm going to make liquid nitrogen generator using the Joule Thomson effect and I need to get a dewar but there are different types like glass, steel and plastic and I'm not sure which one is the best.

This is a list of dewars i can get, please can someone tell me which one is the best for keeping liquid nitrogen the coolest?

1. LAB 10 Aluminum Cryogenic Dewar (10L)
2. Dilvac Dewar Flask MS/111 (1L) Enamelled Steel Container
3. Dilvac Dewar Flask SS/111 (1L) Stainless Steel Container
4. glass Vacuum Dewar Flask 250ml

What you intend to DO with the liquid Nitrogen will have some influence on the best choice? You list equipment with a range of 250ml to 10l capacity? More information on your requirements is needed...

For long term, you will want a self pressurizing design as the liquid will boil off more slowly under higher pressure.

For still longer term, a vaporizer coil is built into the walls, sacrificing some of the liquid gas to refrigerate the remainder.




Rapopart’s Rules for critical commentary:

1. Attempt to re-express your target’s position so clearly, vividly and fairly that your target says: “Thanks, I wish I’d thought of putting it that way.”
2. List any points of agreement (especially if they are not matters of general or widespread agreement).
3. Mention anything you have learned from your target.
4. Only then are you permitted to say so much as a word of rebuttal or criticism.

Sorry I decided to go with the 250ml as its the cheapest, I'm only going to use it so I can see if my set up works, after it works I wont need it and the liquid nitrogen will just stay in the system.

How do I delete a thread?
