    Hydrogen Refueling Stations provide efficient fueling solutions for a variety of fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) such as cars, trucks, buses, and trains. They facilitate a cleaner and sustainable mode of transportation.

    Hydrogen must be free of contamination for use with mobile applications to extend the life of sensitive fuel cell components. Filters at the refueling station provide critical protection against contaminants before the gas enters the vehicle’s fuel tank.

    Ensuring Quality Hydrogen at the Fuel Pump

    At hydrogen refueling stations, filtration is essential for delivering high-purity hydrogen fuel. These filters effectively remove contaminants such as water, oil, and particulates, ensuring that only clean hydrogen reaches fuel cell vehicles. Parker enhances performance, protects fuel cell components, and promotes a safe and efficient refueling experience by providing filters designed specifically for use with hydrogen. Discover how our robust filtration technology is paving the way for a cleaner hydrogen economy.

    Compressed Hydrogen Gas Filters for Fuel Dispensing

    Filtration Media for Hydrogen Dispensing

    Fuel quality specifications are defined by both ISO 14687 and SAE J2719 for fuel cell vehicle applications. Per these standards, contaminants are: “Impurities that adversely affect the components within the fuel cell system, the fuel cell power system, or the hydrogen storage system”

    Particulates are specifically defined as:

    “Solids or liquids, such as oil mist, that can be entrained somewhere in the production, delivery, storage, or transfer of the hydrogen fuel to a fuel cell system”

    Filtration installed on the refueling dispenser will act as the last line of defense to provide acceptable fuel quality and protect fuel cell vehicle components from compressor oil carryover. Parker’s hydrogen filters will remove fine solids and suspended liquids in the gas by providing high performing coalescing efficiency, high burst strength, and long element life.

    The general supply of hydrogen from a refueling station to a consumer is as follows:

    1. Hydrogen is delivered by a supplier to the refueling station. The fuel quality is typically unknown by the station.
    2. The fuel is prepared for dispensing, which presents a risk of introducing contamination through compression
      and storage.
    3. Hydrogen is delivered to the vehicle per fuel quality specifications.
