Hydrogen applications

Hydrogen propulsion is the future of environmentally friendly commercial vehicles and buses, because hydrogen serves as an energy source for internal-combustion engines or for fuel cells connected to electric drives. The hydrogen is typically stored in tanks under extreme pressure, which must be controlled very precisely – this is where our special hydrogen pressure sensors come into play. We supply robust sensors for tank and fuel-cell applications. Our hydrogen-compatible pressure and temperature sensors are specifically designed to withstand the harsh conditions in hydrogen environments. The sensors operate in the low- to high-pressure range and have a robust design. A sensor is specifically designed to provide accurate measurements even if water freezes on the sensor membrane. We develop sensors in accordance with ASIL A and ASIL B, and offer different output signals for each sensor. Our hydrogen sensors are certified according to EC79 and HGV 3.1.
