sera - Hydrogen Refuelling Stations
Jules Verne, as early as 1870, envisioned water as the `coal of the future.` In his novel `The Mysterious Island,` he prophesied that the energy of tomorrow would derive from water decomposed by electricity, providing an inexhaustible source of energy through its elements, hydrogen and oxygen. In an era where fossil fuels are depleting, and environmental protection is paramount, sera GmbH has wholeheartedly embraced this visionary concept. That`s why we`ve pioneered and introduced our revolutionary hydrogen refueling station—a significant stride towards safeguarding our environment. Hydrogen technology: The fuel that powers the future!
Technology container
At the heart of the Sera Hydrogen Refueling Station lies the technology container, a modular marvel. This container houses cutting-edge compressor systems, advanced cooling units, precision valve technology, and a central control unit.
Here`s how it works: Hydrogen undergoes compression, reaching pressures of up to 900 bar, courtesy of state-of-the-art compressors. Once compressed, it`s stored in buffer tanks, strategically positioned either inside or outside the technology container, ready for when it`s needed.
Large-capacity cluster
A large-capacity cluster refers to a rack housing multiple gas bottles. These bottles are interconnected through a network of pipelines and valves. This storage configuration proves advantageous for future scalability, as it accommodates the easy addition of more clusters as needed. Furthermore, it offers the flexibility to store even the smallest quantities of gas effectively.
Dispenser
The ultimate stage of the hydrogen refueling process unfolds at the dispenser unit. This unit is equipped with a nozzle, filling hose, display, and advanced control technology. For added convenience, a payment terminal can be conveniently positioned adjacent.
The refueling process is user-friendly, commencing with a clear display prompt. A brief, step-by-step guide directs users until the nozzle securely connects to the vehicle`s filler neck. The dispenser, designed by sera, efficiently channels hydrogen, chilled to temperatures as low as -40°C, through the nozzle and into the vehicle`s hydrogen tank. Our sera dispenser is versatile, accommodating refueling at both 350 bar and 700 bar, and is available with either one or two nozzles.
Compressor
At the core of our hydrogen refueling station lies the compressor, often referred to as the `heart` of the system. It is the vital component responsible for the compression process. Our station relies on metal diaphragm and piston compressors, which are integral parts of our tank systems, ensuring efficient and reliable operation.
MODULAR DESIGN
Our hydrogen refueling station boasts a modular design, enabling precise customization to meet individual customer requirements. This adaptability extends to seamless future expansions.
HIGH FLOW RATES
Featuring our groundbreaking piston compressor, our station delivers high flow rates, ensuring rapid and efficient refueling, even under high-demand conditions.
RELIABLE & LOW MAINTENANCE
Our compressor`s gentle, slow-stroke operation places minimal stress on components, resulting in prolonged service life and fewer maintenance needs.
EASY TO SERVICE
We`ve engineered the system container for easy access to every technical element, streamlining servicing, and ensuring uninterrupted operation.
QUIET OPERATION
Noise reduction has been a focal point of our development process, allowing the sera hydrogen refueling station to be used in noise-sensitive environments without disturbance.
LOW ENERGY CONSUMPTION
Our electrohydrostatic drive, combined with low-friction, innovative compressor technology, guarantees minimal energy consumption, contributing to a more sustainable operation.
