Introduction to Cryogenic Engine
Technology
• • Definition: Cryogenic engines use fuels
liquefied at extremely low temperatures (e.g.,
liquid hydrogen).
• • History and Development: Primarily used in
aerospace for rockets; now being explored for
other applications.
• • Working Principle: Overview of cryogenic
fuel storage, injection, and combustion
process.
How Cryogenic Engines Work
• • Fuel Storage: Explanation of cryogenic fuel
storage at ultra-low temperatures.
• • Combustion Process: Cryogenic fuels are
vaporized and burned in the engine.
• • Diagram: Illustrate the engine setup and
flow of fuel from storage to combustion.
Advantages of Cryogenic Engines
• • Higher Energy Density: More energy output
per unit mass compared to conventional fuels.
• • Environmentally Friendly: Lower greenhouse
gas emissions (only water vapor from
hydrogen).
• • Increased Efficiency: Higher thermodynamic
efficiency due to lower temperatures.
• • Lightweight Storage: Potential for reduced
vehicle weight with advanced tank designs.
Challenges of Using Cryogenic
Engines in Normal Vehicles
• • Fuel Storage and Handling: Need for
specialized containers to maintain ultra-low
temperatures.
• • Safety Concerns: Risk of explosion or leakage
due to high volatility of cryogenic fuels.
• • Cost and Infrastructure: High costs of
production, storage, and need for specialized
refueling stations.
• • Material Limitations: Development of
materials to withstand extreme temperature
Potential Applications in Normal
Vehicles
