The device used for whole-body cryotherapy is the cryotherapy machine. Additionally known as a cryosauna or cryo chamber. The distinctions between a cryosauna and a cryo chamber are discussed here.

THE WAY A CRYOTHERAPY MACHINE OPERATES

The liquid nitrogen that operates cryotherapy equipment is pumped into them from liquid nitrogen dewars.

Nitrogen that is liquid at a low temperature (195.79 °C or 320 °F) is referred to as liquid nitrogen. Industrial production of it involves fractional distilling liquid air. It is a clear liquid with low viscosity that is frequently used as a coolant. It is particularly helpful in a variety of applications, primarily as an open-cycle refrigerant, due to its ability to sustain temperatures well below the freezing point of water.

Nitrogen, which makes up 78% of the air we breathe, is not harmful in and of itself. But cryotherapy centres that perform numerous operations each day need to have sufficient ventilation. The oxygen content in a compact, poorly ventilated space can drop below 20% (by volume), which sooner or later can result in palpable discomfort or even unconsciousness.

Individuals are required to wear basic protective clothes during the cryo session in order to prevent injuries caused by the cold: dry socks and slippers, shorts for men, and a combination of shorts and a top for women. The effects of cryotherapy equipment’ extremely low temperatures are still being studied, but most findings indicate that whole-body cryotherapy has a stronger stimulant impact than its localised counterpart.

WHAT SORT OF EQUIPMENT ARE CRYOTHERAPY MACHINES (CRYOSAUNAS)?

There are two ways to provide nitrogen to cryotherapy machines: either from smaller, pressurised containers or from non-pressurized Dewar tanks. Dewar tanks that are not pressurised are more manageable and smaller, while pressurised tanks are more expensive but heavier. All of the characteristics of these two types of nitrogen feed are described here.

Today’s cryotherapy equipment is often designed with user comfort in mind. This includes plush inside padding, cutting-edge security measures, wireless controls, touch-sensitive information displays, and even an integrated stereo system.

The extra features and available options affect the cryotherapy equipment’s pricing.
