Liquid hydrogen tank truck

Liquid hydrogen tank truck

A liquid hydrogen tank truck (United States usage) or liquid hydrogen tanker lorry (United Kingdom usage) is a tank truck designed to carry cryogenic liquid hydrogen (LH2) on roads. The largest such vehicles are similar to railroad tank cars which are also designed to carry liquefied loads. Tank trucks tend to be large, they are insulated. Some are semi-trailer trucks [ [http://www.fibacanning.com/Cryogenic/Cryogenic%20Liquid%20Hydrogen%20Tankers%20for%20sale-flyer.pdf Semi trailer hydrogen tanker truck] ] .

ize and volume

Tank trucks are referenced by their size or volume capacity. Large trucks typically have capacities ranging from 7500 gallons (21,100 litres) to 13000 gallons [ [http://www.fibacanning.com/Cryogenic/liquid_hydrogen_tankers_available.htm liquid hydrogen tankers] ] .
