hydrogen tanks
For our projects, we manufacture Type IV hydrogen tanks:
– 35 MPa (5,000 psi) tank,
– 70 MPa (10,000 psi) tank,
– applications: cars, trucks, buses, energy storage and others.
Valve material: aluminium or acid-resistant steel
Service life: 15 – 20 years
Hydrogen weight: 0.5 – 25 kg
We design and adapt hydrogen tanks to individual customer needs.
It all starts from pioneering thought. Beginning of new project is associated with many challenges that our R&D department must overcome to satisfy our client needs. Creating new molds and examination of temperature distribution is necessary to achieve a liner without defects and manufacturing errors. All of this and many more are taking place during production phase.
We introduce and test our own solutions to improve production efficiency.
Our engineers are supervising every step of production, so we can catch and eradicate any errors throughout the process and implement new solutions to prevent them from happening ever again. Our modern machinery park and qualified staff makes us independent from subcontractors thus letting us make upgrades swiftly. Some problems requires innovative solutions, which we are developing with help of our engineers. Implemented ideas have massive impact on the quality of our product.
Our production hall is equipped with the most modern production machines
To our disposal in machinery park we have CNC millers and turners, thus we have no need to involve subcontractors in realizations of new projects. Advanced machines for rotomoulding and fiber winding gives us possibility to manufacture high quality tanks. Range of curing ovens allows us to make different tanks in different batches, keeping manufacturing process both ecological, as economical.
The tank liner is made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE)
Bosses are made of aluminum or acid-resistant steel. The outer layer is made of carbon fibers, which are directly related to the strength of the tank. Additionally, a protective layer of fiberglass has been wrapped to protect against mechanical damage. The adhesive material is epoxy resin
Winding and curing
During winding process, fibers are soaked in epoxy resin before wrapping around tank. Key to success is continuous monitoring and regualating temperature of resin. Next up, in the curing phase, tank is constantly turned to prevent undesired accumulation of epoxy resin. Along with time, temperature of the oven during process is crucial to ensure smooth process of polimeryzation.
