🚀 Innovative Approaches in Liquid Hydrogen Storage: Optimising Insulation for a Sustainable Future 🚀 In the world of hydrogen energy storage, the push for efficiency and sustainability is constant. Liquid hydrogen, with its impressive energy density, presents immense potential for long-distance, clean energy transport. Yet, its Achilles’ heel? Evaporation losses—especially at low temperatures—can be a serious challenge. 💡 Here’s where this report shines: A coupled modelling approach using CFD and BoilFAST has been explored to boost insulation for hydrogen tanks by analysing the configuration of vapour-cooled shield (VCS) tubes. This study didn’t stop at theory; it demonstrated substantial insulation gains through practical simulation: Enhanced insulation performance: Increasing the number and diameter of VCS tubes significantly improves insulation, reducing heat flux by up to 49% with more tubes and 32% with larger diameters. The ideal setup? Both larger tubes and more of them, yield the highest reduction in daily evaporation rates. Precision modelling: This approach accounted for the mutual interactions between VCS and multi-layer insulation (MLI), balancing computational rigour with real-world constraints. Evaporation savings: The best configuration brought daily evaporation down to as low as 0.56%—a significant efficiency win in hydrogen storage. 🔹 Could Tritonex make this solution even more efficient?
