液氢由于储能密度高而受到广泛关注。由于液氢沸点低（20 K），蒸发损失是其贮存过程中面临的一个突出问题，因而高效绝热技术是目前液氢贮存研究中的一个重要关注点。玻璃微珠由于表观热导率低，安装速度快（与多层材料相比，可以在短时间内注入）和维护简单等特点，成为一种有应用前景的绝热材料。本文提出一种由玻璃微珠和自蒸发气冷屏组成的新型低温绝热系统。建立了一个复合被动绝热模型对玻璃微珠和自蒸发气冷屏的耦合传热特性进行分析。结果表明，组合使用玻璃微珠和自蒸发气冷屏可以有效减少液氢贮箱的漏热。当冷屏数量从1个增加到3个，贮箱漏热分别减少了57.36％，65.29％和68.21％。玻璃微珠的另一个显著优点是其绝热性能对真空度的变化不敏感。当真空度从10⁻³ Pa升高到1 Pa时，贮箱漏热增加只有约20％。当真空度从10⁻³ Pa升高到100 Pa时，与单一使用玻璃微珠方式相比，组合使用玻璃微珠和冷屏的方式可以使漏热降低58.08％–69.84％。

ABSTRACT

Liquid hydrogen (LH₂) attracts widespread attention because of its highest energy storage density. However, evaporation loss is a serious problem in LH₂ storage due to the low boiling point (20 K). Efficient insulation technology is an important issue in the study of LH₂ storage. Hollow glass microspheres (HGMs) is a potential promising thermal insulation material because of its low apparent thermal conductivity, fast installation (Compared with multi-layer insulation, it can be injected in a short time.), and easy maintenance. A novel cryogenic insulation system consisting of HGMs and a self-evaporating vapor-cooled shield (VCS) is proposed for storage of LH₂. A thermodynamic model has been established to analyze the coupled heat transfer characteristics of HGMs and VCS in the composite insulation system. The results show that the combination of HGMs and VCS can effectively reduce heat flux into the LH₂ tank. With the increase of VCS number from 1 to 3, the minimum heat flux through HGMs decreases by 57.36%, 65.29%, and 68.21%, respectively. Another significant advantage of HGMs is that their thermal insulation properties are not sensitive to ambient vacuum change. When ambient vacuum rises from 10⁻³ Pa to 1 Pa, the heat flux into the LH₂ tank increases by approximately 20%. When the vacuum rises from 10⁻³Pa to 100 Pa, the combination of VCS and HGMs reduces the heat flux into the tank by 58.08%–69.84% compared with pure HGMs.
