Leak Testing and Automation Solution for Hydrogen Industry - Energy - Hydrogen Power
The combustion engine has had its day. By the end of this decade, electromobility will dominate the automotive sector more and more, while vehicles with conventional combustion engines will increasingly take a back seat. This is crucial to be able to achieve the set climate goals so that the man-made climate change can still be stopped or retarded.
In the passenger car sector, hybrid drives and battery solutions will be the drive technology of the future, but fuel cells and the use of hydrogen as an emission-free fuel will also play a major role in tomorrow’s mobility. The fuel cell drive is a real alternative, particularly in heavy-duty traffic, in commercial vehicles, in shipping, in the aviation sector, but also in local passenger transport and in special vehicles. Short charging times and a sufficient range per storage cycle are the main advantages of this concept. If the hydrogen is generated with renewable energy (e.g., wind power or solar energy), the climate balance is also positive – keyword “green hydrogen”.
Fuel cell vehicles combine numerous technical components under one roof. A correspondingly pressure-tight or cryogenic vessel or tank is required for hydrogen storage. The fuel cell, consisting of numerous individual components, generates the electricity required. In addition, there are buffer batteries, the electric motor, compressors, cooling units as well as pipe systems and many other components. And many of these components also have to be subjected to a leak test in order to meet quality standards and to ensure durability and reliability.
