Polar and Moog Controls collaborate on hydrogen storage solutions

Polar Technology Management Group Ltd has developed a novel concept in hydrogen storage and is working with Moog Controls to develop an integrated hydrogen storage and management solution termed “Hydrogen in a Box”.

The system benefits are based around optimal packaging efficiency, gravimetric efficiency and the ability to integrate valves and control systems into one optimised solution.

A six-month long technology evaluation process has been completed and test hardware will now be manufactured. The design has been evaluated as Type 3 and Type 4 version for both 350Bar and 700Bar applications.

Kieran Burley, Lead Engineer at Polar Technology said “This is a very exciting time to be working on hydrogen storage solutions, there are so many opportunities for innovation, optimization and integration. Combining novel design solutions along with innovative manufacturing processes we can package hydrogen storage efficiently in a series of co-dependent chambers forming a storage bank, rather than fitting a number of standard independent cylinders into the space.”
