Understanding hydrogen fluid dynamics involves studying the unique nature of the fluid, the mechanical parameters that drive the fluid, and the mechanics at which the flow is operating.

Line sizing in hydrogen systems design is one big factor affecting overall system efficiency. There are many approaches designers use to calculate pressure drops and size their lines accordingly, but not all approaches are adequate.

If you want to improve your hydrogen system design capabilities, join Hassan El Ghoul, Fluid Systems Engineer for Swagelok Ontario and Atlantic Canada, on July 24^th as he shares insights on how to effectively account for:

• Pressure, temperature, and flow
• Erosional velocity and tube sizing
• How “ideal” the gas is

Hydrogen holds the unique distinction of being the world’s only viable fuel source that can meet the performance criteria of light- and heavy-duty vehicles while having a net-zero impact on CO₂ emissions when generated, stored, transported, and dispensed in an environmentally sustainable manner. However, the growth of the H₂ fueling economy is the subject of many misperceptions that may be hindering its global acceptance and adaptation. 

Dispelling myths around hydrogen's efficiency, safety, cost-effectiveness, and environmental impact will be crucial to propelling the industry forward.

Join Chuck Hayes, Global Technical Lead for Clean Energy, for a webinar on November 9th, 2023, from 10:00 – 11:00 a.m. CST in which we will tackle common myths about H₂ as an energy source and take a close look at the role that fluid system design and engineering can play in overcoming persistent challenges.

At this critical time in the emergence of hydrogen as an energy source, it’s as important as ever to show that hydrogen can be handled safely, efficiently, and cost-effectively. But that isn’t always easy.

Containing a small-molecule gas under pressure requires specialized knowledge. That is why clean energy professionals are increasingly bringing in hydrogen fluid system specialists to help them achieve first-time, long-term, leak-tight operation of their hydrogen systems.

If you could use help building and operating safer, more efficient, more profitable hydrogen systems, don’t miss this presentation by Chuck Hayes, Principal Applications Engineer for Clean Energy at Swagelok. He will explain how to engage effectively with technical advisors to:

• Identify and estimate costs of existing hydrogen leaks in detailed reports
• Categorize areas of concern by severity
• Create an action plan to address them
• Integrate best practices to avoid other issues

Whether you work for a hydrogen producer or a supporting OEM, please join us on May 18 to be sure you’re well-equipped to operate hydrogen systems that are properly designed, assembled, installed, and maintained.

Hydrogen has great potential as a zero-emission fuel source, but it can be hard to handle. Hydrogen must be stored and dispensed at high pressures to achieve the energy density required for use in fuel cell vehicles and infrastructure, but as a small-molecule gas, it can migrate through tiny crevices and diffuse into materials designed to contain it. Also, hydrogen undergoes rapid thermal and pressure changes as it is transferred, further complicating its use as a fuel source.

Specifying high-performing fluid system solutions (fittings, valves, tubes, hoses) designed for hydrogen applications is the best way to achieve long-term, leak-tight operation of fueling and on-vehicle hydrogen systems. In this presentation, we will cover:

• The challenges of H₂ as a mobility fuel 
• How to design for safe, leak-tight hydrogen use
• Characteristics of high-performance hydrogen system fittings
• Efficient installation and maintenance practices
