Bürkert, a specialist in liquid and gas flow control, has announced the launch of a new series of valves tailored for ultra high-pressure hydrogen applications. The range includes solenoid valves and process valves capable of managing hydrogen up to 1,000 bar, suitable for various hydrogen infrastructure settings such as grid infrastructure and vehicle fuelling stations. These valves are designed to offer long service life, high tightness for dynamic sealing, and resistance to hydrogen embrittlement. The solenoid valve range comprises direct acting and servo-assisted valves, capable of controlling hydrogen flow from 0 to 900 bar and up to 1,000 bar respectively. The process valves, pneumatically operated for on/off control, are engineered to handle hydrogen pressures up to 600 bar and 1,000 bar, featuring special coatings for extended service life and resistance to hydrogen embrittlement. Bürkert's new valve range for high-pressure hydrogen applications not only meets stringent safety conformance standards but also achieves ISO 19880-3 compliance for gaseous hydrogen fuelling stations and Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU. The valves are designed with materials like 316Ti stainless steel reinforced with titanium to prevent hydrogen embrittlement and are tested rigorously to ensure durability and reliability in demanding hydrogen infrastructure environments.
