Many buses use cryogenic container to store the LNG as fuel. The heat insulated performance is an important parameter that reflected with daily evaporation rate or heat leakage of cryogenic container. In bus running process, the LNG container is affected by many factors and difficult to assess and analyze the heat insulated performance. In order to solve this problem, firstly, according to the LNG container heat leakage transfer process in bus running, the energy equations of the LNG were established. Secondly, the factors were analyzed that affected the heat insulated of the LNG cryogenic container. Then, the heat leakage was calculated depending on the test data of the LNG container in the bus running to estimate the heat insulated performance. At the same time, the LNG container heat insulated performance was also measured at the local inspection agency. We found that there were great differences between the two results, and the reasons for the great differences were further analyzed.
