Vacuum-insulated pipe (VIP) — also called vacuum jacketed pipe (VJP) — is the most efficient way to move cryogenic liquid from your tank to the point of use with minimal heat leak. JoyCan designs, engineers, supplies, installs and services complete VIP/VJP systems — built around your facility for maximum efficiency and long service life.
In both vacuum-insulated pipe (VIP) and vacuum jacketed pipe (VJP), a vacuum jacket surrounds the inner cryogenic line with a high vacuum and multilayer insulation, virtually eliminating heat leak. That means less product loss to boil-off, stable pressure and clean, consistent liquid arriving at every use point — exactly what a precise doser needs. (The two terms describe the same technology; suppliers use them interchangeably.)
No off-the-shelf runs. We engineer the optimum layout for performance, efficiency and long-term reliability — then stand behind it.
We come to your facility to walk the route, tank to use point.
We take precise field measurements of every run, drop and obstacle.
We draw up isometric sketches of the proposed system for sign-off.
We engineer the layout for maximum efficiency and long service life.
We supply the pipe and install it with certified technicians.
We inspect and service the full system every year to keep it efficient.
Optional — with a service agreement, not standard with the install.
We build each system from a complete range of vacuum-jacketed components, specified to your application:
A doser needs single-phase liquid — not flash gas — at the nozzle. These components keep the line full of cold liquid so every dose counts.
A phase separator vents off gas and delivers single-phase liquid to the use point, so the first shot is liquid rather than flash gas — essential on longer runs or where supply pressure varies. We size and place it as part of the VIP/VJP design.
Cryovents keep the vacuum-jacketed line full of liquid right up to the doser, so it delivers liquid within seconds and minimizes boil-off between cycles — paired with vent heaters for reliable, clean venting.
We combine rigid runs and flexible sections to navigate any facility — confirmed against your measurements during design.
For straight, supported main runs. Inner line ½"–2", outer jacket up to 3½", standard lengths up to 30 ft, low heat leak per foot.
Braided flexible pipe for bends, drops and offsets. Flex inner ¾"–2", minimum bend radius 12"–20", lengths up to 60 ft.
Built on Chart Inc. vacuum-insulated pipe — manufactured in an ISO-9001 facility with decades of cryogenic experience. As an authorized USA distributor of Chart Inc. products, JoyCan stocks and sells Chart vacuum-insulated pipe and tanks, and supplies and installs complete systems.
Pair VIP with a cryogen supply and a doser for a complete, engineered system from tank to can.
