Coolergy introduced a liquid hydrogen fuel tank for a 1200 km truck range
Today at the IDIADA test track in Catalonia, Spain, Coolergy S.L. presented a pilot sample of a liquid hydrogen fuel tank for trucks from Quantron, Germany. The tanks are equipped with a receiver, a pressurized evaporator, and a heat exchanger that supplies hydrogen to the fuel cell.
The design of the tank allows it to be filled with both low-pressure liquid hydrogen (5-7 atmospheres) and supercritical liquid hydrogen under pressure up to 22 atmospheres. A full set of tanks for one truck holds 95 kilograms of liquid hydrogen, which will allow the truck to travel up to 1,200 km without refuelling.
When using low-pressure hydrogen, the drain-free storage period is up to 50 hours. Tanks of this class will be installed on refrigerated trucks intended for the La MancH2a project.
Coolergy S.L. is a European cryogenic engineering company located in Spain with its production. The company is developing projects related to the use of liquid hydrogen in road, rail, and maritime transport. Implements projects in Spain, the USA, Germany, Estonia, Finland, and North Africa
