A liquid hydrogen tank car, also called liquid hydrogen tank wagon or liquid hydrogen tanker wagon is a railroad tank car designed to carry cryogenic liquid hydrogen (LH 2). LH 2 tank cars with a capacity of 17,000 pounds (7,711 kg) are used for transcontinental transport. [1] [2]
Chart Industries' (GTLS) buyout of Worthington's cryogenic trailer and hydrogen trailer business will help solidify its existing business related to hydrogen and cryogenics.
The U-1 semi-trailer was a liquid-hydrogen trailer designed in the 1950s to carry cryogenic liquid hydrogen (LH 2) on roads being pulled by a powered vehicle.It was constructed by the Cambridge Corporation and had a capacity of 26,000 liters (6,900 U.S. gal; 5,700 imp gal) with a hydrogen loss rate of approximately 2 percent per day.
Older tube trailers made of steel (Type I) usually carry about 100 kg (220 lb) per load, while new and more efficient composite trailers (Type IV) made of carbon fiber make it possible to carry up to 1 tonne (1.1 short tons; 0.98 long tons) per load. Modular tube trailers range from 8 to 54 tubes. [2]
The Western Pacific Railroad Museum at Portola, California features a very complete roster of 20th century cars, including wood bodied ice cars, steel bodied ice cars, one of the earliest mechanical refrigerator cars, later mechanical refrigerator cars and a cryogenic reefer, as well as several "insulated" boxcars also used for food transport.
For many years hydrogen has been stored as compressed gas or cryogenic liquid, and transported as such in cylinders, tubes, and cryogenic tanks for use in industry or as propellant in space programs. The overarching challenge is the very low boiling point of H 2 : it boils around 20.268 K (−252.882 °C or −423.188 °F).
The term is most often used for smaller systems, typically table-top size, with input powers less than about 20 kW. Some can have input powers as low as 2–3 W. Large systems, such as those used for cooling the superconducting magnets in particle accelerators are more often called cryogenic refrigerators. Their input powers can be as high as 1 MW.
