As a specialist for customised valve solutions, GSR Ventiltechnik has now developed a servo-controlled high-pressure solenoid valve for climate-neutral hydrogen refuelling systems that is designed for pressures up to 1,000 bar.
Due to increasing environmental awareness among the population and the use of new technologies, customer requirements for solutions for high-pressure applications are also becoming more environmentally conscious. The demand for qualified, green valve technologies for tank systems is particularly strong. What is required are valves that help to increase the range of the tank filling. For this purpose, the enclosed hydrogen volume is increased during refuelling with the help of ever higher pressures. The stresses and strains that occur place the highest demands on the function, tightness, service life and safety of the solenoid valves used, which are subject to very frequent switching operations.
GSR Ventiltechnik has been known for decades for the highest quality in the production of high-pressure valves and, under these general conditions, has now supplemented its portfolio with a 2/2-way solenoid valve in the pressure range from 5 to 1,000 bar, which is specially designed for the future hydrogen infrastructure. Thanks to a continuously refined valve geometry and the use of specially selected and precisely matched high-quality materials, this solenoid valve perfectly meets the highest mechanical requirements of tank system manufacturers. It convinces with a long service life of more than 100,000 switching operations and thus keeps the operating and maintenance costs of the system low.
