In our ongoing endeavour to revolutionize cargo containment systems, Task 3.4 represents a pivotal stage where we conduct meticulous testing on insulation materials and their bonded connections. This critical phase aims to ensure the efficacy and safety of our proposed solutions, particularly in accommodating the transportation of liquid hydrogen (LH2).
Our evaluation encompasses a wide spectrum of materials, including various polyurethane foams, boxing materials, and innovative solutions for modularizing insulation. Additionally, we are rigorously assessing bonding means to facilitate the secure attachment of insulation boxes onto the steel hull structure.
The properties assessed in this case include strength, stiffness, fatigue cracking, thermal behaviour, and compatibility with LH2.
