Abstract
Normal Evaporation Rate (NER) is one of the most important parameters to evaluate the performance of cryogen storage tanks. Based on a self-developed 4 m3 liquid hydrogen storage tank, the NER is studied theoretically and experimentally. The structural characteristics of the tank are analyzed and then the NER is theoretically calculated. The numerical simulation is also performed to verify the calculation. Experiments of the tank filling with liquid nitrogen are carried out to measure the NER. The effects of key parameters such as heat leaks of support structure and multi-layer insulation material on the NER are analyzed.
