Parker’s experience helping customers solve hydrogen’s complexities dates to the 1960s, when the company helped land people on the moon by supplying 21 systems to the Apollo lunar mission, including hydrogen and oxygen systems for the onboard fuel cell. Today, by enabling safe and effective production of hydrogen technology, Parker is using that same clean energy technology to help power countless organisations.
All around the world, manufacturers are becoming more conscious of the environment, and placing increased emphasis on reducing their carbon footprint. A significant portion of this focus has been dedicated to reducing their environmental impact through the transition to alternative fuel sources. There are now many different avenues to efficient energy via renewable resources. Taking much of the spotlight today is hydrogen. Its versatility is evident in the production of fertilisers, powering of vehicles and heating of homes, all without contributing to greenhouse gas emissions. Hydrogen will ultimately play an influential role in achieving net zero emissions standards for future sustainability. However, it does not come without its production challenges and compliance requirements.
For over 60 years, Parker has been at the forefront of the production, distribution and utilisation of hydrogen as a clean fuel source. The first step is harnessing energy sources to power hydrogen production. Parker’s engineering leadership and global reach put solutions in place across multiple technologies. The mass availability of hydrogen gives businesses a real opportunity to reduce their carbon footprint. Parker solutions, from fluid conveyance to precision filtration systems, are critical, especially in demanding, corrosive, pressured and heat-intensive environments.
They include:
• Electrolysers: Optimising flow with small and low-bore conveyance solutions. Controlling pressure, temperature and humidity of gas and liquids.
• Storage: Safe control and pressurisation of gas, liquids and cryogenic applications.
• Distribution: Integrating and connecting technologies across a global distribution network. Support and expertise in certification and approvals for safe passage across land and sea.
• Dispensing: Control of flow with small and low-bore fluid conveyance solutions.
• Maintaining pressure and temperature of hydrogen.
Parker is supporting the global decarbonisation efforts through a broad range of solutions for a variety of hydrogen infrastructure applications. Its hydrogen-compatible components and systems enable safe and efficient operation from vacuum to 1034 bar nominal pressure.
Hydrogen dispensing stations incorporate a range of applications where you will find Parker products, from compressors and high-pressure storage tanks to dispensing hydrogen to vehicles. Parker technology meets the refuelling pressure parameters that a vehicle requires, either 35 MPa or 70 MPa.
