Hydrogen manufacturing and storage: In the manufacturing and storage of hydrogen, high-purity gas valves and fittings are mainly used to control and adjust gas flow, pressure, temperature and other parameters. These valves and fittings need to have high purity, high sealing and corrosion resistance to ensure the purity and safety of hydrogen.
2. Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles: Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are one of the important applications in the field of hydrogen energy. High-purity gas valves and fittings are used in hydrogen storage tanks and hydrogen supply systems of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles to ensure the purity and supply stability of hydrogen, thereby improving the safety and mileage of the vehicle.
3. Power sector: The application of hydrogen energy in the power sector includes hydrogen fuel cell power generation and gas turbine power generation. In these processes, high-purity gas valves and fittings are mainly used to control and adjust gas flow and pressure to ensure the stability and efficiency of the power generation process.
4. Industrial production: In industrial production, hydrogen is an important raw material and energy source. High-purity gas valves and fittings are used in gas pipeline systems in industrial production processes to ensure the purity and safety of the gas, thereby improving production efficiency and product quality.
In general, high-purity gas valves and fittings play an important role in the hydrogen energy industry. Their high purity and high quality characteristics meet the strict requirements of the hydrogen energy industry for gas. In the future, with the continuous development and innovation of hydrogen energy technology, the application prospects of high-purity gas valves and fittings in the field of hydrogen energy will become broader.
Range of Hydrogen Valves and Components
Needle Valves: Jwellok’s Needle Valves are indispensable in scenarios where precision control is paramount. Available in various body styles designed for operation in temperatures ranging from -58°F to +392°F (-50°C to +200°C), these valves boast an extended stuffing box allowing operation down to -423°F (-253°C). Our Needle Valves are crafted with a focus on providing reliable and leak-free performance to meet the demands of high-pressure hydrogen environments.
Check Valves: Our Soft Seat Check Valves are ruggedly constructed to ensure fail-safe operation at pressures up to 20,000 PSI (1378 BAR). Designed to operate in temperatures ranging from -320°F to 500°F (-195°C to 260°C), these valves play a pivotal role in maintaining the integrity of gas distribution & compression systems in hydrogen applications.
Air Actuators: Jwellok’s Air Actuators are designed for remote control, making them virtually maintenance-free and an ideal choice for service in limited access areas. With a fail-safe feature, the Air-to-Open actuator closes the valve upon loss of operating pressure, while the Air-to-Close actuator opens the valve when operating pressure returns. These safety features are imperative in critical systems, ensuring reliable and repeatability performance.
Sintered Cup Filters: Jwellok’s Sintered Cup Filters provide maximum filtration surface area for the removal of contaminant particles from gas systems. Available in nominal ratings of 5, 10, 20, 40, and 100 microns, these filters are tailored for systems requiring high flow rates with minimal pressure drop. Their robust construction ensures optimal performance in hydrogen gas applications.
Applications
Jwellok’s valves, fittings and tubings find application across a spectrum of high-pressure scenarios for hydrogen systems, including:
Hydrogen Storage: Our valves and fittings are designed to ensure the safe and reliable storage of hydrogen, maintaining integrity even under extreme pressures.
Hydrogen Compression and Dispensing: In hydrogen refueling stations and industrial settings, our valves facilitate the controlled and leak-free flow of hydrogen during compression and dispensing processes.
Hydrogen Fuel Cell Testing and Production: BJwellok’s valves play a crucial role in hydrogen fuel systems for both vehicles and infrastructure, particularly the testing and production of hydrogen fuel cells. The valves provide the necessary control and reliability for these intricate processes.
Process Facilities: From aerospace to oil & gas and up-, mid- and downstream services, our valves are integral to various process facilities, ensuring the seamless handling of hydrogen in diverse industrial applications.
A WORLD LEADER IN HIGH PRESSURE SOLUTIONS FOR HYDROGEN APPLICATIONS
Jewellok has been in the forefront of providing high pressure valves, fittings and tubing to support our customers as they incorporate hydrogen in their zero-carbon energy strategies. The ongoing build-out of the hydrogen refueling infrastructure necessary to support the fuel cell powered trucks, buses, cars, forklifts and other equipment depends on products designed and built to meet the unique challenges of hydrogen. Jewellok is a worldwide leader in delivering safe and reliable products to handle the high pressures and extreme temperatures associated with handling hydrogen.
A COMPLETE LINE OF STANDARD HYDROGEN PRODUCTS
Over the last ten years, Jewellok has produced tens of thousands of valves and fittings for hydrogen applications. As demand has continued to increase, we have committed the resources to develop a complete line of standard products for use with hydrogen, all either in stock or available with short lead-times. We have engineered our high pressure valve stems, packing and associated soft goods to meet the unique requirements of hydrogen. The standard material for all Jewellok valve bodies and fittings is 316 stainless steel, which is hydrogen compatible. In addition, we offer a range of special materials such as hastelloy and monel.
HIGH PRESSURE CONED & THREADED CONNECTIONS
Jewellok hydrogen products use a high pressure coned and threaded connection which accommodates the high temperatures, high pressures and extreme conditions common in these applications.
