In this paper, thermal properties of materials for evacuated insulation systems of double-walled cryogenic tanks were discussed. Than the comparison of insulation variants for LNG cryogenic road tankers was presented. The use of several layers of insulation made of materials such as aerogel and fiberglass or the use of multilayer isolation (MLI) has been compared to the use of perlite powder. The average heat flux through the tank walls and insulation system has been compared under different vacuum levels and in the absence of vacuum. The comparative analysis was performed by applying transient thermal analysis using finite element method.
