Korean Register (KR) has printed a report titled: Research Report of Material Compatibility for Liquid Hydrogen Storage on Marine Application.
The report offers detailed technical info on supplies appropriate for onboard liquid hydrogen programs. For secure and environment friendly storage and transport of hydrogen, it should be dealt with in its liquid state, says KR. This necessitates a cryogenic setting. However, till now, there was a notable lack of analysis infrastructure and business understanding of the supplies utilized in marine liquid hydrogen storage programs.
To proactively reply to the longer term carbon-free gas period, KR has been conducting the Korean Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries’ Hydrogen Ship Safety Standard Development Project since 2020. In collaboration with Dr. Kim Yongjin’s group on the Korea Institute of Machinery & Materials and Professor Kim Jeong-Hyeon’s group at Pusan National University, KR has collectively established cryogenic analysis amenities, the one facility of its variety out there in Korea. It is designed to check and analyze supplies for different fuels that require cryogenic amenities, equivalent to hydrogen. In this research, it was used to simulate the hydrogen setting by conducting mechanical analysis take a look at at -253℃, the storage temperature of liquid hydrogen.
The analysis report displays the outcomes of those assessments and establishes analysis strategies for utilized supplies equivalent to hydrogen pipes and tanks, in addition to requirements for utilized supplies.
KIM Daeheon, Executive Vice President of KR R&D Division, mentioned: “We believe that the results of this study will provide valuable guidance to industry, academia and research institutes researching and developing green ships and alternative fuels.”
