Product Overview


The 5–200 m³ High-Vacuum Insulated Tanks for H₂Storage are specialized systems designed for safe, long-term storage of liquid hydrogen (LH₂)—the coldest cryogenic fluid at -253°C. With capacities ranging from 5 m³ to 200 m³ and working pressures up to 2.5 MPa, these tanks achieve ≤0.5% daily evaporation rate for 50 m³ units, minimizing product loss in hydrogen energy applications . Constructed from 9% nickel steel (ASTM A553) for extreme cold resistance and NASA-approved multi-layer insulation (MLI), they comply with CGA H-3 (hydrogen storage standards) and ASME BPVC Section VIII (Division 2) for high-integrity pressure vessels .


Features


Extreme Cold Performance

Cryogenic Stability: Patented mixing baffles (316L stainless steel) prevent thermal stratification, maintaining LH₂ temperature at -253°C ±1°C even during partial offloading .

Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA): Optional on-tank PSA system purifies boil-off hydrogen to 99.9999% purity (≤0.1 ppm total hydrocarbons), suitable for fuel cell applications .


Safety-Centric Design

Explosion Mitigation: Inline flame arrestors (stainless steel mesh, 50 μm pore size) and hydrogen sensors (electrochemical type, ≤2% LEL detection) trigger automatic isolation valves within 10 seconds of leaks .

Underground Burial Option: Tanks can be buried ≥102 mm under reinforced concrete, reducing thermal cycling from ambient temperature changes and minimizing external impact risks .


Hydrogen Economy Integration

BOG Recovery System: A scroll compressor (oil-free, hermetic design) recovers vaporized hydrogen, compressing it to 35 MPa for reuse in fuel cells or pipeline injection, reducing waste by 90% .


Applications


Hydrogen Refueling Stations: 50 m³ tanks supply LH₂ to fuel cell vehicles (e.g., Toyota Mirai, Hyundai Nexo) via a cryogenic pump system, achieving 700 bar dispensing pressure with <5% temperature rise during compression .

Aerospace Propulsion: 200 m³ tanks store LH₂ for rocket launch pads (e.g., SpaceX Starship), with quick-disconnect couplings (ISO 17268) enabling 10-minute tank-to-rocket transfers .

Energy Storage: 100 m³ tanks buffer renewable hydrogen from electrolyzers, storing excess production during peak solar/wind generation for use in grid balancing or industrial processes .


FAQ


Q: What is the vacuum level requirement for hydrogen tanks?

A: To meet CGA H-3 standards for long-term storage, tanks must maintain a vacuum level of ≤10⁻⁴ mbar—achieved via periodic re-evacuation every 5–7 years using specialized vacuum pumps .

Q: How does hydrogen tank insulation differ from LNG tanks?

A: Hydrogen tanks use MLI with 20–50 layers of aluminized polyester film (each 6 μm thick) separated by glass fiber spacers, achieving an R-value ≥100 m²·K/W—3× higher than perlite insulation used in LNG tanks .

Q: What is the cost of a 50 m³ hydrogen tank?

A: Approximately $2.5–3 million, including vacuum insulation, safety systems (leak detection, relief valves), and installation—with a payback period of 5–7 years for high-volume hydrogen users .
