ON-VEHICLE APPLICATIONS
A-LOK® tube fittings - EC-79 Approved
up to 350 barg pressures
Parker A-LOK® two ferrule tube fittings are designed to achieve reliable, leak-free connections on-board hydrogen-powered vehicles up to 350 barg pressures. These fittings have provided proven performance in hydrogen systems for many years and are available as an integral end connections on our extended product range, including all valve types. This will reduce the need for ‘threaded’ components and therefore reduce the number of potential leak points across your installations.
Components used on-board hydrogen-powered vehicles require EC-79 certification. The EC-79 (Regulation of the European parliament and the Council of 14 January 2009) type-approval of hydrogen-powered motor is an EU normative for components and systems which are installed on hydrogen-driven vehicles.
Product ranges certified to this regulation are extensively tested to guarantee the safety and performance of hydrogen (H2) equipment under different pressures, electric, mechanical, thermal or chemical conditions.
COMPONENTS FOR INFRASTRUCTURE APPLICATIONS
For hydrogen applications which do not require on-board EC-79 certification, Parker Instrumentation offers a wide range of instrumentation and control products including:
Parker Instrumentation offers a wide range of hydrogen-compatible components for infrastructure applications:
- Storage tanks
- Dispensers
- Compressors
- Pressure control devices.
Addressing the Challenge of Hydrogen Enbrittlement in Metallurgy
Hydrogen is the most abundant element in nature and its versatility can offer compelling advantages as an accessible, sustainable and efficient alternative source of energy. However, hydrogen can be very damaging for most metallic materials, causing what is known as hydrogen damage or hydrogen attack. Hydrogen, being an extremely small particle, hydrogen degradation is directly connected to its capability to be easily absorbed by metals coupled with the high mobility those particles have at microstructural level.
On-Site Training
At Parker, we recognise that leak-free performance is at the top of your agenda. Anyone installing Parker products for hydrogen service will be offered Small Bore Expert (SBEx) training
