“Water will be the coal of the future”. Jules Verne recognised this as early as 1870, writing in his novel “The
Mysterious Island” that tomorrow’s energy will be water which has been decomposed by electricity, and that
its elements (hydrogen and oxygen) will provide the earth with an indefinite supply of energy.
At a time when fossil fuels are running out and environmental protection is becoming increasingly essential to
our planet, sera GmbH has made a commitment to this very vision – which is why we have developed and
launched our innovative hydrogen refuelling station as a ground-breaking step towards the preservation of
our environment. Hydrogen technology: the fuel of the future.
DESIGN AND MECHANICS
Technology container
The technology container is the sera hydrogen refuelling station’s core element. Modular in design, the technology container is equipped with ultra-modern compressor systems, cooling units, valve technology and a control unit.
First, hydrogen is compressed to up to 900 bar using compressors, and then stored in buffer tanks until needed. The buffer tanks can be situated either inside or outside the technology container.
Large-capacity cluster
A large-capacity cluster is a rack containing bottled gas. All the gas bottles in the cluster are connectedto each other by pipelines and valves. This storage method is ideal if the system is to be expanded at a later date, as any number of clusters can be set up. The same method also allows very small quantities to be stored.
