Abstract

With the increasing demand to find new energy resources instead of using fossil fuels, for the protection of the environment, one of most attractive areas in renewable energy is hydrogen. Hydrogen gas has high energy efficiency, generates the least greenhouse gases and produces no noise. Moreover, overland transportation industries have been researching and developing hydrogen gas storage systems worldwide. Such a manner of fuel system consists of a hydrogen gas tank, high pressure regulator and solenoid valve, etc. In this paper, a test bed is suggested for ultra-high pressure systems integrating a valve and regulator with precision control. We carried out performance tests by applying voltage with wide ranges of input pressure, response time and output flow rate and pulsation repetition tests considering increases in temperature, etc. Moreover, the results indicated good potential for application in fuel charging and transporting commercial hydrogen vehicles.
