Air Products' first ‘SmartFuel’ hydrogen high-pressure tube trailers
Air Products has introduced the first of its ‘SmartFuel’ hydrogen high-pressure tube trailers, capable of transporting large volumes of hydrogen at high pressure to its growing network of hydrogen fuelling stations. This trailer, the first of a fleet due to be deployed in the coming months, will be used to support the hydrogen fuel cell buses programme operating hydrogen-powered buses in London.
The trailer features specialised composite cylinders for hydrogen storage that enable hydrogen from central production facilities to be delivered directly to the fuelling station at a pressure well above 350 bar; a significant enhancement on existing 200 bar industrial hydrogen delivery models, says the company. The increased pressure removes the need for onsite compression for 350 bar vehicle refuelling and significantly reduces site compression for 700 bar vehicle refuelling.
