What is a hydrogen storage tank?
A hydrogen storage tank is a specialized container designed to safely store hydrogen gas, either as a high-pressure gas (typically at 350-700 bar), a cryogenic liquid (at -253°C), or in solid-state form (absorbed in materials like metal hydrides). These tanks are engineered to withstand extreme conditions while minimizing weight and maximizing storage efficiency, making them critical for applications like fuel cell vehicles, renewable energy systems, and industrial processes.
Temperature Effects
Gas density decreases by ~1.2% per °C temperature increase
Pressure Ranges
Typical storage pressures: 350-700 bar for vehicle applications
