Fuel lock blister performance aids in safe hydrogen tanks
Hydrogen storage is an essential element for the hydrogen driving powertrain of automobiles. For automotive storage applications, hydrogen is stored in high-pressure hydrogen tanks with operating pressures of 700 or 350 bars. Two features of these high-pressure tanks are low weight and safety. Low weight is realized by moving away from a metal tank solution and designing the tank based on polymer-based materials. Safety is realized by a careful selection and development of polymer materials and proper design of the tank.
