Description
|
The station is used to fill vehicles with gaseous hydrogen. The hydrogen is stored cryogenically at a temperature of -423° degrees F (-253° C). Fueling the fuel cell vehicle is a very quick and automated process, allowing a safe fill of the vehicle tank in just 4 minutes or less-- comparable to existing car fill up times. Very simply, the fuel cell vehicle driver will connect the communication cable to the vehicle to confirm that the safety and vehicle systems are established and functioning properly. The information transferred to the computer includes details of the vehicle fuel tank, the vehicle manufacturer and specific conditions set by the manufacturer that must be met to begin fueling. Following that, the driver connects the fill nozzle and fills the vehicle.
-
Dispenser: Dispensing pressure @ 25 MPa and 35 Mpa
- One 4,500 gallon liquid hydrogen storage tank
- A 'vaporizer' that warms the liquid hydrogen to gaseous hydrogen
- A compressor to raise the gas pressure to 6,250 psig
- 3 gaseous hydrogen storage tubes
- Two gaseous dispensers, one at 3,600 psig the other at 5,000 psig, and one liquid hydrogen dispenser
- One dispenser system delivers liquid hydrogen
Upgrades in 2009 and 2010 to 70 MPa and state-of-the-art technology.
Equipment will be probably moved to a retail station.
