Thermal Insulation, Storage and Transportation of Liquid Hydrogen

  • Chapter
Liquid Hydrogen

Abstract

Hydrogen as a cryogenic liquid must be stored and transported in thermally insulated containers in order to avoid uneconomical high boil off losses. The same requirement applies for the insulation of liquid hydrogen transfer pipelines.
