Hydrogen Fuel Stations are specialized refueling infrastructure that provides hydrogen gas for fuel cell vehicles (FCVs). These stations store and dispense hydrogen in a compressed or liquefied form, which is then used by FCVs to generate electricity through a chemical reaction with oxygen in a fuel cell stack, thus powering the vehicle.
There has been increasing interest and investment in hydrogen fuel stations and fuel cell technology across the country, driven by the goals of reducing emissions, increasing energy security, and diversifying the energy mix. Federal and state governments, private companies, and research institutions have collaborated to support developing and deploying hydrogen fuel stations and related technologies.
To boost the growth of hydrogen fuel stations, the US Department of Energy (DOE) initiated the H2@Scale initiative to advance hydrogen production, storage, distribution, and utilization technologies. This program seeks to lower hydrogen costs, increase its output from various sources (including renewables), and facilitate its adoption in multiple sectors, such as transportation, industry, and power generation.
Emerson's TESCOM™ Anderson Greenwood Instrumentation Valves H2 Series are high-pressure gas applications valves for hydrogen fueling stations and function as isolation valves.
The H2 Valve Series employs stem seal technology, enabling consistent pressure containment and low operating torque, making it well-suited for hydrogen fuel dispensing systems. By offering a reliable, low-maintenance solution, the H2 Valve Series allows manufacturers and integrators of hydrogen fueling stations to reduce operational service expenses and potential leakage.
The H2 Series complies with the ISO 19880.3 standard for 700 bar H70 Station Rating in hydrogen fuel station applications. Its compact, lightweight, and ergonomic design enhances installation and operational processes.
