The hydrogen value chain interactive provides an overview of Parker's comprehensive range of solutions for hydrogen applications, from production via electrolyzers, to dispense through hydrogen refueling stations, and usage in hydrogen fuel cells. It underscores the importance of hydrogen in decarbonizing transportation and stationary power generation sectors.
In the production of green hydrogen, Parker's filtration technology is crucial in ensuring the purity of the hydrogen produced. The hydrogen and air streams used in Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) systems require high cleanliness levels, and Parker's filtration technology helps achieve this by removing any impurities. This not only ensures the efficient operation of the electrolyzers but also extends their lifespan, contributing to the overall sustainability of the green hydrogen production process.
In terms of storage and distribution, Parker's fluid conveyance technology is integral to the process of conditioning hydrogen for transport. Whether the hydrogen is compressed or liquefied, Parker's fluid conveyance systems ensure that the hydrogen is safely and efficiently transported from the production site to the storage facilities and eventually to the point of use. This technology is especially important given the challenges posed by hydrogen's low density.
Furthermore, Parker's sealing technology plays a critical role in the storage and distribution of hydrogen. Given the high pressures involved in hydrogen compression and the extremely low temperatures required for hydrogen liquefaction, robust and reliable sealing solutions are essential. Parker's sealing technology ensures that the storage and transport containers remain leak-proof, preventing any loss of hydrogen and maintaining the integrity of the stored hydrogen.
In the development of on-board hydrogen fuel cell systems and hydrogen Internal Combustion Engines (ICE), Parker's filtration, fluid conveyance, and sealing technologies ensure efficient operation by providing clean hydrogen fuel, effective fluid transport, and secure sealing solutions.
