Kawasaki Heavy Industries: Stores -253 ° C liquefied hydrogen at 1/800: Hytouch Kobe
Kawasaki Heavy Industries:
Technology Research Association CO2-Free Hydrogen Supply Chain Promotion Organization (HySTRA)
Kawasaki Heavy Industries has delivered the world’s first liquefied hydrogen cargo handling demonstration terminal (Hytouch Kobe).
Start driving test:
Currently, the driving test has started.
It will be operated in the NEDO subsidized project during FY2020.
We will transport liquefied hydrogen from Australia to Japan.
This is a demonstration test of the international hydrogen energy supply chain.
Hytouch Kobe:
Stable storage of cryogenic hydrogen, whose volume is reduced to 1/800 at -253 ° C, for a long period of time.
Japan’s largest 2,500 m3 spherical liquefied hydrogen storage tank,
A dedicated ship for liquefied hydrogen, such as a land-to-land transfer loading arm, is installed.
2,500 m3 spherical liquefied hydrogen storage tank:
In the vacuum layer between the two inner and outer tanks,
“Vacuum double-shell insulation structure” that blocks heat conduction from the outside air temperature
A spherical shape that can suppress the amount of heat input most
I adopted it.
Tank structure: Over 30 years of operational know-how
We delivered it to the JAXA Tanegashima Space Center in the 1980s.
We will utilize the “know-how accumulated over 30 years of operational results of liquefied hydrogen tanks”.
It has high reliability.
In the tank performance evaluation of Hytouch Kobe, high heat insulation performance and soundness of equipment were confirmed.
