Hydrogen filling station
The hydrogen filling station was developed to make the interface between a hydrogen production plant and the transport container safer and more cost-efficient.
Thanks to automated processes and high safety standards, the hydrogen filling station not only offers automatic pressure level detection of trailers and containers, but also time savings through automatic leak testing and pressure change flushing of the filling hose.
Our hydrogen filling station is a CE-certified assembly with safety functions.
Standards taken into account:
- Pressure Equipment Directive PED,2014/68 EU, Module G1
- ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU
- EN61508 / EN61511
- Designed for installation in Ex zone 2
Base frame dimensions (WxDxH):
1400 x 800 x 2200 mm
Dimensions with weather protection (WxDxH):
1450 x 2000 x 2200 mm
Weight:
250 kg

Accessories
With the help of our trailer retrofit kit, almost all hydrogen trailers and hydrogen containers can also be retrofitted for automated filling processes.
The counterpart to the multi-connector is mounted on the trailer and the pneumatics are brought into line with the processes of the hydrogen filling station.
