Fujikin’s new valve: High-speed hydrogen filling for large vehicles!
ーHydrogen filling valve for large vehicles such as trucks and busesー
Report from article on Newswitch
Fujikin’s new valve:
We have developed a valve for high-speed hydrogen filling of large-sized vehicles such as FC heavy-duty trucks.
Conventional hydrogen station:
Fuel tanks for trucks and buses will have large capacities. Conventional hydrogen stations take a long time to refill.
Fujikin’s new valve can cut filling time in half or less.
Hydrogen stations for heavy-duty trucks:
A fuel tank mounted on a large truck or the like is larger than that of an FCV.
In the case of the current hydrogen station, it takes 22 minutes to refill seven times. This was reduced to 10 minutes.
Fujikin’s technological capabilities to support the hydrogen society: valves that can withstand ultra-low temperatures
Valves that withstand extreme temperatures:
A liquid fuel rocket mixes and burns liquid hydrogen at -253°C and liquid oxygen at -183°C in a combustion chamber before launching into space.
Fujikin has perfected this ultra-low temperature resistant valve with its own technology.
It is indispensable for “flow control” in a hydrogen society.
Fujikin rocket valves:
Fujikin supports 50MPa required for rocket valves.
Participated in the development of valves for compressed natural gas (CNG) stations. We have further improved our ultra-high pressure gas control technology.
Fujikin hydrogen station valves:
Achieves a pressure resistance of 99.9 MPa, about twice that for space rockets.
This is the area of your fingertip (1 cm2) and supports a load of 1 ton.
“The amount of hydrogen that can be filled in the tank of a fuel cell vehicle” has increased dramatically.
Extends range and reduces refueling time.
