Abstract
This liquid hydrogen storage tank includes a tank body, a dike, a pump, and a housing chamber. The tank body includes an inner tank that forms a storage space for storing liquid hydrogen therein, and an outer tank that is formed by interposing a thermal insulation layer between the outer tank and the inner tank. The dike includes an outer peripheral surface and an inner peripheral surface that is in contact with the side plate of the outer tank. The dike is formed upwardly so as to surround the outer periphery of the tank body. The pump discharges liquid hydrogen inside the inner tank through the side plate of the inner tank to the outside. The housing chamber is disposed between the outer peripheral surface of the dike and the storage space, and houses the pump.
