Abstract

To effectively improve the thermal insulation performance of liquid hydrogen storage tanks

a transient heat and mass transfer model for vacuum multilayer insulated liquid hydrogen storage tanks is developed

and the effect of integrating a vapor-cooled shield with ortho-para hydrogen catalytic conversion is investigated. Dimensionless parameters

including the vapor consumption factor (

) and the dormancy period extension factor (

)

are introduced to quantify vapor consumption and tank dormancy period

respectively. A unit factor (

)

defined as the ratio of

is used to characterize the heat-leak shielding capability of the vapor-cooled shield. A comparative analysis is conducted on the effects of key parameters

such as the dimensionless position of the vapor-cooled shield

mass flow rate

and activation timing

on the tank dormancy period

with and without ortho-para catalytic conversion. The results indicate that: Both

and

initially increase and then decrease as the dimensionless position of the vapor-cooled shield increases; when

=0.012 8 and the dimensionless position of the vapor-cooled shield is

0.167

the inclusion of ortho-para catalytic conversion yields the maximum improvement in both metrics (22.77%) compared to the non-catalytic case; as the mass flow rate of the vapor-cooled shield decreases

both metrics first increase and then decrease; the improvement in both metrics is more pronounced when the dimensionless position and mass flow rate of the vapor-cooled shield are relatively small; both metrics initially increase and then decrease with delayed activation of the vapor-cooled shield; under conditions where

=0.025 6 and the dimensionless position of the vapor-cooled shield is 0.233

activating the shield at 40.51 d achieves the maximum improvement of 22.32% in

with ortho-para catalytic conversion.
