  • Publication number: 20240178420
    Abstract: Provided is a pressure control device for a liquid hydrogen tank for a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle that includes a fuel cell, a battery, and a drive motor, wherein the liquid hydrogen tank includes a vacuum chamber, an inner chamber inside the vacuum chamber and storing liquid hydrogen therein, and a multi-layered insulation surrounding the inner chamber. The pressure control device includes a liquid hydrogen pump inside a liquid hydrogen section, an expansion valve located downstream of the liquid hydrogen pump, a heat exchanger located downstream of the expansion valve, a first flow path through which liquid hydrogen supplied from the liquid hydrogen pump passes through the heat exchanger and is sprayed into a gaseous hydrogen section, and a second flow path through which the liquid hydrogen supplied from the liquid hydrogen pump sequentially passes through the expansion valve and the heat exchanger and flows.
