LIQUID HYDROGEN SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240175546 titled 'LIQUID HYDROGEN SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a liquid hydrogen system for vehicles, including a hydrogen tank, a supply circuit to convert liquid hydrogen into hydrogen gas for the engine, and a return circuit to maintain the internal pressure of the tank.
- The system is designed to store liquid hydrogen on a vehicle.
- The supply circuit converts the liquid hydrogen into hydrogen gas for the engine.
- The return circuit ensures the internal pressure of the tank matches or exceeds a predetermined reference pressure.
Potential Applications
The technology could be applied in the automotive industry for vehicles powered by hydrogen fuel cells.
Problems Solved
1. Efficient storage and utilization of liquid hydrogen in vehicles. 2. Maintaining the internal pressure of the hydrogen tank at optimal levels.
Benefits
1. Reduced emissions and environmental impact. 2. Enhanced efficiency in hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimizing Liquid Hydrogen Storage System for Hydrogen-Powered Vehicles
Possible Prior Art
There are existing liquid hydrogen storage systems for vehicles, but the specific design of the return circuit to maintain internal pressure may be novel.
Unanswered Questions
How does the system handle variations in temperature that may affect the pressure inside the tank?
The patent application does not specify how the system compensates for temperature changes that could impact the internal pressure of the hydrogen tank.
The patent application does not detail the safety features or protocols implemented to ensure the secure operation of the liquid hydrogen system on vehicles.
Original Abstract Submitted
a liquid hydrogen system includes a hydrogen tank mounted on a vehicle and configured to store liquid hydrogen, a supply circuit configured to supply a hydrogen engine with a hydrogen gas which is converted from the liquid hydrogen extracted from the hydrogen tank, and a return circuit branched from the supply circuit and connected to the hydrogen tank, the return circuit being configured to return the hydrogen gas into the hydrogen tank in such a manner that the internal pressure of the hydrogen tank matches or exceeds a predetermined reference pressure.
