The present disclosure provides adaptive filling systems for use with liquid hydrogen-fuel tank modules. The adaptive filling systems determine, for each tank module, an optimal filling pressure based on passive pressurization due to parasitic heat transfer into the hydrogen-fuel tank during storage and transit. The adaptive filling systems identify a particular hydrogen-fuel tank module, the aircraft it will be loaded onto, the aircraft's estimated time of departure (ETD), the filling time, and the locations of the tank module and the aircraft. The systems fill different hydrogen-fuel tanks at different pressures in order to account for varying periods for storage and transit from the corresponding filling location to the corresponding aircraft or storage location.
An adaptive filling system for filling liquid hydrogen fuel storage modules, the system comprising:
A method of a filling a portable liquid hydrogen fuel storage tank for use on a hydrogen powered vehicle, the comprising:
An active pressurization system, comprising:
A computer-implemented system for filling a portable liquid hydrogen fuel storage tank for use on a hydrogen powered vehicle, the computer-implemented system comprising an electronic storage medium comprising computer-executable instructions and one or more processors in electronic communication with the electronic storage medium and configured to execute the computer-executable instructions in order to:
