Hydrogen refuelling for heavy-duty applications with very high flow rates<\/h1>\n
\n
\n

Refuelling hydrogen in large quantities quickly – this requirement is becoming more and more common. How does this process work efficiently and safely? What do the components for this have to look like? ZBT is investigating these issues with nine partners as part of a new EU-funded project.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

There is strong demand from the EU to\u00a0decarbonise freight transport<\/b>. The recently launched\u00a0EU-funded project “RHeaDHy”<\/b>\u00a0will contribute to this process by developing high-performance hydrogen refuelling stations. RHeaDHy aims to fully implement and validate new refuelling protocols that allow\u00a0100 kg of hydrogen<\/b>\u00a0to be\u00a0refuelled in 10 minutes<\/b>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n

The project partners design and build a\u00a0refuelling train for 70 MPa hydrogen applications<\/b>\u00a0(e.g. for trucks). In order to fulfil the mass flow requirements of\u00a0170 g\/s on average<\/b>\u00a0(approx. 300 g\/s at peak), the key components currently missing for this are being developed. The comprehensive approach in RHeaDHy guarantees an optimised component and dispenser design, as the consortium is staffed with leading partners for the production of all components.<\/p>\n

Over the next two years, the components and the refuelling train will be designed, developed and built, allowing for a test campaign of at least one and a half years.\u00a0Two test refuelling stations<\/b>\u00a0will be built in Germany and France to test two truck refuelling systems that will also be built and to\u00a0validate the refuelling protocols<\/b>\u00a0on large-scale systems. On the German side, ZBT will install and test the newly developed refuelling train on its\u00a0hydrogen test field.<\/p>\n

This will allow an optimal compromise between constraints due to the arrangement of the individual components and real vehicle constraints. The new refuelling protocols to be implemented are based on previous projects (PRHYDE) as well as standardisation work. They include calculations of\u00a0refuelling parameters<\/b>\u00a0related to the specific vehicle tank, derived from\u00a0hundreds of simulations<\/b>.<\/p>\n

The results obtained in RHeaDHy will help to feed real-world process feedback into\u00a0standardisation bodies<\/b>\u00a0and establish\u00a0new standards for refuelling components and refuelling protocols<\/b>. RHeaDHy will help open up the market for heavy-duty hydrogen applications by enabling a wide-ranging hydrogen refuelling network based on European ambitions for alternative fuels.<\/p>\n
