摘要

Liquefied hydrogen carriers are an effective transportation means for importing hydrogen. To predict its effectiveness, a method for calculating heat ingress into a liquefied hydrogen carrier was developed. The prediction method was validated by predicting heat ingress into a 1250 m3 cargo tank loaded on a liquefied hydrogen carrier, measuring the evaporation of liquefied hydrogen stored in the tank, and conducting a long-distance marine transport test. The heat ingress into the carrier was approximately 0.3%/d in terms of the boil-off rate. This proved that owing to the pressure-accumulation design, navigation was possible without releasing hydrogen into the atmosphere.
