NLR’s liquid hydrogen testing facilities for the CH COCOLIH2T project
NLR will give an overview of its activities in the EU Clean Hydrogen project COCOLIH2T. Under this project, NLR and its partners are developing, manufacturing and testing a composite liquid hydrogen tank for aerospace applications. Besides an overview of the project and the NLR activities, the focus will be on cryogenic testing capabilities and in situ liquid hydrogen testing capabilities at NLR. Within COCOLIH2T, NLR generates material properties at 20K, performs permeability tests and will test full-scale liquid hydrogen tanks in the newly developed outdoor test facility. Large amounts of liquid hydrogen are available to test containers, fuel cells and jet engines.
