New switch
Type2 accumulator for JFE hydrogen station
-Start of operation of a commercial station that uses a Type 2 accumulator-
December 25, 2020
JFE Steel:
JFE Container:
In 2018, both companies completed the commercialization of a -Type2 accumulator for hydrogen stations.
JFE Type2 accumulator
Toyota Toyoe Hydrogen Station adopts this JFE Type2 accumulator.
The operation will start on December 25, 2020.
Features of Type2 accumulator:
JFE Type2 accumulator is:
With a wide range of available pressure, he can supply large amounts of hydrogen to the FCV at one time.
It is expected to be used in fuel cell buses and stations with a large number of hydrogen supplies.
Longer life in high pressure range
JFE Type2 accumulator is:
Designed by JFE Container, it is made by wrapping carbon fiber made by Mitsubishi Chemical around the body of a steel liner.
The pressure resistance is optimally shared between iron and carbon fiber, achieving a long life in a high pressure range.
The shape is a simple straight type,
Reduction of manufacturing cost by reducing the amount of carbon fiber used,
Simplified maintenance utilizing the large diameter
