Hydrogen Applications
Hydrogen fuel cell technology requires high-integrity fluid system components to fill and store hydrogen in cylinders and transfer it to the fuel cell on the vehicle. Swagelok offers a wide range of fluid system components for use in many types of hydrogen-related applications.
Hydrogen Production
See Swagelok for hydrogen electrolysis and fuel cell applications, made from the highest-quality materials that deliver performance and reliability.
Hydrogen Distribution and Infrastructure
Reliably distribute hydrogen, including a complete suite of high-performance products along with custom or standard reassembled systems
Compression and Refueling
Safe and reliable refueling infrastructure is a necessity as hydrogen mobility scales up to handle an increase in demand. Applications like compressors, storage cylinders, priority panels, pressure control devices, and dispensers that deliver hydrogen need the highest-quality componentry.
Hydrogen Mobility
Components used for hydrogen vehicles need to meet specific demands of withstanding vibration in the critical connections. Gas leaks are totally unacceptable for safety; and for maintenance purposes, parts must be easy to install and locally available at a moment's notice.
