Association of American Railroads

The Association of American Railroads (AAR) is an industry trade group representing primarily the major freight railroads of North America (Canada, Mexico and the United States).

See Liquid-hydrogen tank car and Association of American Railroads

Boxcar

A boxcar is the North American (AAR) and South Australian Railways term for a railroad car that is enclosed and generally used to carry freight. Liquid-hydrogen tank car and boxcar are freight rolling stock.

See Liquid-hydrogen tank car and Boxcar

Compressed-hydrogen tube trailer

Hydrogen tube trailers are semi-trailers that consist of 4 to 36 cluster high-pressure hydrogen tanks varying in length from for small tubes to on jumbo tube trailers. Liquid-hydrogen tank car and Compressed-hydrogen tube trailer are hydrogen infrastructure and Industrial gases.

See Liquid-hydrogen tank car and Compressed-hydrogen tube trailer

Cryogenics

In physics, cryogenics is the production and behaviour of materials at very low temperatures. Liquid-hydrogen tank car and cryogenics are Industrial gases.

See Liquid-hydrogen tank car and Cryogenics

Hydrogen economy

The hydrogen economy is an umbrella term for the roles hydrogen can play alongside low-carbon electricity to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases. Liquid-hydrogen tank car and hydrogen economy are Industrial gases.

See Liquid-hydrogen tank car and Hydrogen economy

Hydrogen infrastructure

A hydrogen infrastructure is the infrastructure of hydrogen pipeline transport, points of hydrogen production and hydrogen stations for distribution as well as the sale of hydrogen fuel, and thus a crucial prerequisite before a successful commercialization of fuel cell technology. Liquid-hydrogen tank car and hydrogen infrastructure are Industrial gases.

See Liquid-hydrogen tank car and Hydrogen infrastructure

Liquid hydrogen

Liquid hydrogen is the liquid state of the element hydrogen. Liquid-hydrogen tank car and liquid hydrogen are Industrial gases.

See Liquid-hydrogen tank car and Liquid hydrogen

Liquid-hydrogen tanktainer

A liquid hydrogen tank-tainer also known as a liquid hydrogen tank container is a specialized type of container designed to carry cryogenic liquid hydrogen (LH2) on standard intermodal equipment. Liquid-hydrogen tank car and liquid-hydrogen tanktainer are hydrogen infrastructure and Industrial gases.

See Liquid-hydrogen tank car and Liquid-hydrogen tanktainer

Liquid-hydrogen trailer

A liquid-hydrogen trailer is a trailer designed to carry cryogenic liquid hydrogen (LH2) on roads being pulled by a powered vehicle. Liquid-hydrogen tank car and liquid-hydrogen trailer are hydrogen infrastructure and Industrial gases.

See Liquid-hydrogen tank car and Liquid-hydrogen trailer

Multi-layer insulation

Multi-layer insulation (MLI) is thermal insulation composed of multiple layers of thin sheets and is often used on spacecraft and cryogenics.

See Liquid-hydrogen tank car and Multi-layer insulation

Piping and plumbing fitting

A fitting or adapter is used in pipe systems to connect sections of pipe (designated by nominal size, with greater tolerances of variance) or tube (designated by actual size, with lower tolerance for variance), adapt to different sizes or shapes, and for other purposes such as regulating (or measuring) fluid flow.

See Liquid-hydrogen tank car and Piping and plumbing fitting

Pressure

Pressure (symbol: p or P) is the force applied perpendicular to the surface of an object per unit area over which that force is distributed.

See Liquid-hydrogen tank car and Pressure

Pressure vessel

A pressure vessel is a container designed to hold gases or liquids at a pressure substantially different from the ambient pressure.

See Liquid-hydrogen tank car and Pressure vessel

Tank car

A tank car (International Union of Railways (UIC): tank wagon) or tanker is a type of railroad car (UIC: railway car) or rolling stock designed to transport liquid and gaseous commodities. Liquid-hydrogen tank car and tank car are freight rolling stock.

See Liquid-hydrogen tank car and Tank car

United States Department of Transportation

The United States Department of Transportation (USDOT or DOT) is one of the executive departments of the U.S. federal government.

See Liquid-hydrogen tank car and United States Department of Transportation

Vacuum flask

A vacuum flask (also known as a Dewar flask, Dewar bottle or thermos) is an insulating storage vessel that slows the speed at which its contents change in temperature.

See Liquid-hydrogen tank car and Vacuum flask

Valve

A valve is a device or natural object that regulates, directs or controls the flow of a fluid (gases, liquids, fluidized solids, or slurries) by opening, closing, or partially obstructing various passageways.
