CryoVac’s liquid hydrogen storage system, featuring a vacuum insulation system, has secured Approval in Principle (AiP) from classification society DNV.
The cryogenic hydrogen storage-based solution involves cooling hydrogen to around -253°C. The Norwegian firm has developed the “world’s first” liquid hydrogen containment system that uses prismatic tanks for ship transport, which utilises a hexagonal vacuum insulation panel.
“Our hexagonal vacuum panels are welded together into continuous surfaces and configured to form a hybrid insulation system allowing simple prismatic tanks to be applied for liquid hydrogen carriage,” explained Aage Bjørn Andersen, CEO of CryoVac.
