Features
28000L Liquid LCO2 Semi-Trailer for Long-Distance CO2 Transport
Transporting liquid carbon dioxide requires more than a large tank. Pressure stability, thermal insulation, unloading efficiency and road performance all affect the operating cost of an LCO2 fleet.
The 28000L Liquid LCO2 Semi-Trailer from SUNSKY is designed around these requirements. With a 28,000-liter tank, 2.28MPa design pressure, vacuum insulation and a 3-axle configuration, it provides a practical solution for bulk liquid CO2 transportation between production facilities, distribution centers and end users.
The inner tank uses 16MnDR pressure vessel steel, while the outer skin uses Q345R. The trailer is also equipped with airbag suspension, 315/80R22.5 tires and a dedicated CO2 loading and unloading system.
For operators moving liquid CO2 over long distances, the focus is not simply on tank capacity. The goal is to keep the product under controlled conditions while making loading, unloading and road transportation more predictable.
Vacuum Insulated LCO2 Tank for Better Thermal Control
The tank uses a vacuum insulation structure to reduce heat transfer between the surrounding environment and the liquid CO2 vessel.
For liquid CO2 transportation, controlling heat input is important because temperature changes can contribute to pressure changes inside the tank. Effective insulation helps maintain more stable operating conditions during transportation and can reduce unnecessary pressure management events.
The tank is designed for a temperature range of -40°C to +50°C, making the configuration suitable for logistics operations where ambient temperatures can vary considerably.
This is particularly relevant for long-distance distribution routes in regions where trailers may operate under demanding climate conditions.
16MnDR Inner Tank for Pressurized Liquid CO2
The inner vessel is manufactured from 16MnDR, a pressure-vessel steel selected for low-temperature service.
For an LCO2 tanker, the tank material is a critical part of the overall engineering design because the vessel must withstand repeated pressure cycles and temperature changes during normal transportation.
The 16MnDR inner tank is combined with a Q345R outer skin to provide a dedicated tank structure rather than relying on the construction principles used for conventional liquid cargo tankers.
The result is a tank configuration developed specifically around the requirements of liquid CO2 transportation.
3-Axle LCO2 Semi-Trailer Configuration
The 28000L LCO2 trailer uses a 3-axle, 13-ton axle configuration with airbag suspension.
Air suspension helps manage vibration transferred from the road to the tank and provides a more controlled ride for a pressurized tanker. It can also help distribute the vehicle load across the axle group during transportation.
The chassis configuration includes:
- 3 × 13-ton axles
- Airbag suspension
- 2-inch bolt-in kingpin
- 19-inch landing legs
- 315/80R22.5 tires
- 9.0 × 22.5 rims
- 13 tire sets
This configuration is intended for operators who need a dedicated LCO2 semi-trailer rather than a conventional fuel or chemical tanker.
LCO2 Trailer Pump and Loading System
A tanker is only as useful as its loading and unloading system. For this reason, the 28000L LCO2 semi-trailer can be configured with a dedicated CO2 transfer system.
The supplied configuration includes:
- CO2 loading and discharge hoses
- Two hose carriers
- Liquid-phase DN50 inlet/outlet
- Vapor-phase DN40 inlet/outlet
- Safety valve system
- Front and rear pressure gauges
- Pressure gauge isolation valves
- CO2 pump system
The pump system is specified with a maximum suction pressure of 1.5–2.2MPa and a flow rate of up to 24,000L/hour. The motor configuration is 380V / 50Hz / 6.3kW.
This setup gives fleet operators a dedicated solution for transferring liquid CO2 instead of relying on a basic tanker body without integrated loading and unloading equipment.

Designed for More Predictable CO2 Transportation
The biggest challenge in liquid CO2 transportation is not simply carrying 28,000 liters. It is maintaining controlled conditions throughout the trip.
The combination of vacuum insulation, pressure-rated tank construction and dedicated pressure monitoring is designed to help operators manage this challenge.
For fleet operators, this can mean:
- More controlled thermal conditions
- Better pressure management
- Less dependence on frequent pressure intervention
- Efficient liquid CO2 transfer
- Improved handling of long-distance routes
- A dedicated tanker configuration for bulk CO2
The objective is simple: move more liquid CO2 with better control over the conditions that affect transportation performance.
Custom 28000L Liquid LCO2 Semi-Trailer Configurations
Every CO2 distribution network has different vehicle regulations, tractor specifications and operating conditions. SUNSKY can therefore discuss configuration changes according to the customer’s requirements.
Available customization areas can include:
- Tank capacity
- Pressure rating
- Piping configuration
- Loading and unloading equipment
- Pump configuration
- Axle and suspension configuration
- Tire specifications
- Electrical system
- Safety equipment
- Customer branding and paint
For export orders, the final specification should be confirmed according to the destination country’s axle-load limits, vehicle dimensions, pressure-vessel requirements and applicable transport regulations.
