LIQUID HYDROGEN SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18513633 titled 'LIQUID HYDROGEN SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a patent application for a liquid hydrogen system that includes a hydrogen tank, a supply circuit to convert liquid hydrogen into hydrogen gas for a hydrogen engine, and a return circuit to maintain the internal pressure of the tank.
- The system includes a hydrogen tank mounted on a vehicle to store liquid hydrogen.
- A supply circuit converts the liquid hydrogen into hydrogen gas for a hydrogen engine.
- A return circuit is connected to the hydrogen tank to maintain the internal pressure at a predetermined level.
