Chart VRV manufacturing centers in Italy and India

VRV was established in 1956 with headquarters in Ornago, Italy, and joined Chart Industries in 2018 under the Baker Hughes industrial technology network. Specialized fabrication facilities in Italy and Sri City, India, feature automated welding bays, clean assembly rooms, and pressure testing pits.

Operations maintain manufacturing approvals according to ASME, EN, TPED, and ADR international codes. Engineering teams design cryogenic storage vessels, road transport trailers, vaporization skids, and heavy petrochemical columns for global energy operators.

Vacuum insulation technology in Eagle cryogenic storage tanks

Stationary Eagle storage tanks are engineered for liquid nitrogen, oxygen, argon, carbon dioxide, and LNG. The inner vessel is manufactured from low-temperature stainless steel, while the outer shell uses carbon or alloy steel with high-grade multi-layer vacuum perlite insulation.

The evacuated annular space limits daily product evaporation to minimal levels. Storage units incorporate built-in pressure building loops, ambient air vaporizers, and dual safety relief manifolds for uninterrupted terminal operations.

Ulysses cryogenic road semi-trailers and distribution tankers

For highway transportation of liquid gases, VRV builds Ulysses semi-trailers with capacities from 2,000 to 67,000 liters. Structural options include all-welded stainless steel, lightweight aluminum alloy, and bi-metallic configurations engineered to optimize legal highway payloads.

Trailers are equipped with rear or side operational cabinets housing cryogenic pumps, flowmeters, and pneumatic shutoff valves, ensuring fast and safe product discharge at remote storage terminals.

High-pressure vaporization skids and gasification stations

VRV gasification complexes convert cryogenic liquids into gaseous media with output ratings from 30 to 2,500 Nm3 per hour at delivery pressures from 40 to 400 bar. Systems employ natural draft ambient finned aluminum exchangers or water bath heating circuits depending on local climate.

Modular skid design allows parallel train arrangements, automatic defrost switching between vaporizer banks, and precise downstream temperature stabilization for continuous pipeline feeding.

Energy and Petrochemicals division heavy reactor vessels

The Energy and Petrochemicals division engineers process equipment operating in aggressive fluid environments under elevated temperatures and pressures. Capabilities include heavy fractionators, hydroprocessing reactors, syngas coolers, and shell-and-tube heat exchangers.

Components utilize chrome-molybdenum alloys, austenitic steels, titanium, and weld overlay linings. Every welded joint undergoes radiographic and ultrasonic examination followed by post-weld heat treatment to relieve internal stresses.

Component identification and spare parts guidelines by tank serial number

Accurate identification of replacement components for Chart VRV tanks and trailers requires the vessel factory serial number, nameplate stampings, and fluid flow schematic references.

The engineering department cross-references valve part numbers, seal sets, differential pressure instruments, and manifold hardware using original production archives. Operators receive detailed specifications and installation recommendations.
