New NPROXX Hydrogen Tank Available
The NPROXX 500 bar type 4 pressure vessel is now certified
It enables customers around the globe to transport and store hydrogen in large volumes
HEERLEN, Netherlands and JÜLICH, Germany, Feb. 15, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- NPROXX is pleased to announce that its advanced type 4 carbon fiber pressure vessel has been certified. The pressure vessel, which operates at a nominal working pressure of 500 bar, has a usable H2 capacity of 6.5kg. It was approved on February 4 by the certification authority TÜV, and as a result the NPROXX product is now fully authorised to be used for hydrogen transportation on roads according to the international regulation for transport of dangerous goods (ADR 6.2).
Advanced carbon fibre pressure vessels
"This certification is a remarkable milestone for NPROXX," says NPROXX Managing Director Reinhard Hinterreither. "This achievement confirms our technical approach is correct, the product is robust and market ready. It enables us to market our advanced carbon fiber pressure vessels and the provision of related services to markets across the globe."
The ADR 6.2 certification is very demanding. It includes burst tests and fall tests, burning and ballistic testing and a detailed documentation process.
Advanced pressure vessels are widely considered as a key element of the growing hydrogen industry, allowing hydrogen transportation and storage in large volumes. The new product will come into operation for the first time within a hydrogen fuel station project in Germany, where
81 pressure vessels will be interconnected within a 20-foot-container to function as a hydrogen storage system solution.
