Abstract

Mobile cryogenic tank for transporting cryogenic fluid, notably liquefied hydrogen or helium, comprising an internal shell intended to contain the cryogenic fluid, an external shell arranged around the internal shell and delimiting a space between the two shells, said space containing a thermal insulator, the first shell having a cylindrical overall shape extending along a central longitudinal axis (A), when the tank is in the configuration for transport and use, the central longitudinal axis (A) being oriented horizontally, the tank comprising a set of temperature sensors measuring the temperature of the fluid in the internal shell, characterized in that the set of temperature sensors is situated on the external face of the internal shell and measure the temperature of said shell, the set of temperature sensors comprising a lower sensor positioned at the lower end of the internal shell situated below the central longitudinal axis (A), the set of temperature sensors further comprising a plurality of intermediate sensors distributed over two lateral faces of the internal shell on each side of the central longitudinal axis (A), the plurality of intermediate sensors being distributed vertically between the lower end of the internal shell situated below the central longitudinal axis (A) and the upper end of the internal shell situated above the central longitudinal axis (A).
