Insulon® Vacuum Jacketed Hose for Liquid Hydrogen

All cryogenic fluids are not the same, and hydrogen presents specific challenges. Achieve maximum thermal performance for LH2 lines with Insulon® vacuum jacketed hose with MLI. Compared to other vacuum jacketed hoses on the market, Insulon® vacuum jacketed hose with MLI has proven to reduce cryogenic boil-off by up to 45%.

Insulon® hoses are uniquely engineered to deliver ultra-high performance in heavy-duty transportation applications including trucks and aircraft. For ultra-high pressure ccH2 transfer, please contact us. Features include fully annealed materials to combat effects of hydrogen embrittlement, low non-volatile residue (NRV) on surfaces, and proprietary high-density multi-layer insulation (MLI). Additional benefits include a smaller outer diameter than most other vacuum jacketed hoses, and a more hermetic vacuum seal with no pump-down port and no pump-down maintenance required.
