Pre-cooling in hydrogen refuelling
The world’s transportation sector is accelerating the electrification of their applications as the best alternative to fossil fuels. But electrification alone will only be able to cover around half of tomorrows energy demands. So, we need to turn to other clean molecules to support where electricity is not able.
Hydrogen as an alternative fuel is a great complimentary solution to battery technology and will play a key role within heavy duty transportation like buses, trains and more. In fact, it is a safe, efficient, and reliable refuelling method that will be essential if we want to decarbonize the transportation sector across a broader range of applications.
Safe and efficient hydrogen refuelling
When we set out to support the development of the hydrogen infrastructure, fast refuelling, safe operations, energy efficiency, and minimized space requirements were our main focus areas. Now, with the launch of the Alfa Laval HyBlocTM range of printed circuit heat exchangers (PCHE), we can achieve this and more.
The HyBlocTM heat exchanger makes it possible to optimizepre-cooling for hydrogen refuelling stations and supply fuels to light passenger or heavy-duty vehicles (HDV) like trucks and buses.
The unique design also enables back-to-back refuelling to guarantee the lowest possible wait times for your customers. All of this can be achieved under minimal space requirements and installation cost.
