A Case Study in Hydrogen Management
The Challenge
Heat exchangers operating in challenging environments face a critical challenge: hydrogen embrittlement and hydrogen permeation, leading to loss of hydrogen and material degradation over time. This necessitates designing heat exchangers with excessive safety margins to compensate for potential material weakness, increasing costs and maintenance requirements.
Our Solution
We engineered a breakthrough solution—a coated heat exchanger. This innovative coating acts as a barrier, preventing hydrogen-induced damage and stopping the loss of hydrogen. By inhibiting embrittlement and permeation, our technology enables heat exchangers to maintain their strength and reliability even in the most demanding conditions.
Outcome
The results are transformative. Our coated heat exchangers are significantly more durable, cost-effective, and boast extended lifespans. With reduced maintenance requirements, industries can now embrace hydrogen technology with confidence, unlocking the full potential of clean energy solutions. Furthermore, the enhanced durability allows heat exchangers to perform efficiently in long-term applications, overcoming previous limitations in challenging environments
