Advanced Structural Technologies Receives DOT Certification UN ISO 11119-2
High-Pressure Cylinders for Hydrogen Storage
Camarillo, CA: Advanced Structural Technologies, Inc. (AST) today announced that it has obtained the Department of Transportation’s certification UN ISO 11119-2 to design and manufacture its cylinders for high-pressure hydrogen gas storage.
The new large diameter hydrogen storage vessels will be sold under the name H2-MAXTM to signify its unique product characteristics, particularly its unique faster and complete filling capability.
Key Benefits of H2-MAX Cylinders
- Largest diameter Type III cylinder for hydrogen applications in the market
- Custom cylinder diameters fabricated in-house
- Seamless, one-piece aluminum liner
- Inherent leak before burst failure mode
- Superior heat tolerance for extended cylinder life
- Higher impact tolerance for increased safety
- Faster and complete filling with significant benefits
- Efficient and complete fills in extreme temperatures
- Reduced fueling cost; superior heat dissipation requires no chilling during filling process
- More complete fueling reduces range anxiety
- Extended life cylinders
- No replacement needed after exposure to high temperatures
- Surpassed testing requirements to meet maximum cylinder life
H2-MAX cylinders are designed for hydrogen storage in various applications for zero-emission and sustainable mobility solutions with service pressure of 350 bar (5,076 psi).
“The large diameter of the H2-MAX allows for fewer cylinders, valves, and PRDs; thus, minimizing potential leak points due to the reduced number of fittings and connection points required when compared to a traditional hydrogen storage system designed with conventional cylinders”, says Kevin Black, Engineering Manager for AST.
