#19 – Hyfindr Tech Talks – Hydrogen Tank Systems & Refueling | Jan Andreas – Argo-Anleg

<p>What actually makes up a hydrogen tank system—and how do you refuel safely at 350/700 bar?</p><p>In this episode of <strong>Hyfindr Tech Talks</strong>, <strong>Jan Andreas (Argo-Anleg)</strong> joins <strong>Steven Oji</strong> to break down complete <strong>hydrogen storage systems</strong> for vehicles and vessels. From the <strong>on-tank valve (OTV)</strong> and <strong>thermal pressure relief device (TPRD)</strong> to the integrated <strong>gas handling unit (GHU)</strong> with sensors, solenoid valves, and pressure regulation, Jan explains how systems deliver hydrogen at the <strong>right pressure</strong> to fuel cells or H₂ ICEs. They also cover <strong>refueling protocols</strong>, IR communication between vehicle and dispenser, temperature management (pre-cooling to ~<strong>–40 °C</strong> and tank <strong>65 °C</strong> limits), and real-world deployments—from buses and 40-ton trucks to <strong>swappable MEGC cartridges</strong> on a hydrogen push boat.</p><p>You’ll learn about:</p><ul><li><p><strong>System boundaries:</strong> refueling interface, tanks with <strong>OTV/TPRD</strong>, <strong>GHU</strong> block, outlet to fuel cell/engine</p></li><li><p><strong>Pressure &amp; regulation:</strong> stepping down 350/700 bar to stack/application requirements</p></li><li><p><strong>Sensing &amp; control:</strong> pressure/temperature sensing, solenoids, communications (IR handshake)</p></li><li><p><strong>Refueling engineering:</strong> ramp control, flow rates, hot-spot formation, pre-cooling to manage heat</p></li><li><p><strong>Applications &amp; sizing:</strong> ~5–6 kg (passenger cars), ~20–30 kg (buses/medium trucks), ~40–60 kg (heavy trucks), <strong>hundreds of kg</strong> for maritime with swappable containers</p></li><li><p><strong>LH₂ vs compressed H₂:</strong> cryogenic challenges (≈–253 °C), boil-off, and why compressed storage often wins on complexity</p></li></ul><p>Ideal for <strong>vehicle integrators, storage engineers, and hydrogen infrastructure teams</strong> designing safe, efficient H₂ systems end-to-end.</p><p>Explore more at <a href="https://hyfindr.com/en/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"><strong>Hyfindr.com</strong></a></p>

#18 – Hyfindr Tech Talks – Manufacturing Metallic Bipolar Plates at Scale | Fabian Kapp – Gräbener

<p>How do you manufacture fuel-cell bipolar plates with high precision, high yield, and production-scale efficiency?</p><p>In this episode of <strong>Hyfindr Tech Talks</strong>, <strong>Fabian Kapp (Gräbener)</strong> joins <strong>Steven Oji</strong> to walk through an end-to-end <strong>bipolar plate manufacturing line</strong>—from coil to stack-ready plate. Fabian explains <strong>hydroforming</strong> (up to ~2,500+ bar), precision <strong>laser cutting &amp; welding</strong>, proprietary <strong>straightening</strong> for ultra-flat plates, and why <strong>cleaning, leak testing, and sealing</strong> are critical for quality and cost. He also shares practical lessons on <strong>OEE</strong>, staffing, and how to reduce scrap by controlling welding and base-material quality.</p><p>You’ll learn about:</p><ul><li><p><strong>Process flow:</strong> decoiling → hydroforming → cleaning → separation → laser cutting → laser welding → straightening → final clean → leak test → sealing → stacking</p></li><li><p><strong>Hydroforming details:</strong> pressure ranges, flexibility across materials/thicknesses, low tooling cost</p></li><li><p><strong>Laser operations:</strong> edge quality, port accuracy, 3D features, nitrogen assist</p></li><li><p><strong>Welding quality:</strong> fixturing/clamping, stitch seams, leak-tight designs around ports/fields</p></li><li><p><strong>Flatness &amp; yield:</strong> straightening for stackability, scrap reduction, optical inspection</p></li><li><p><strong>Production reality:</strong> leak testing (pressure-drop/helium), staffing, maintenance windows, and <strong>OEE</strong> best practices</p></li></ul><p>Ideal for <strong>manufacturing engineers, operations leaders, and stack designers</strong> scaling fuel-cell production lines.</p><p>Explore more at <a href="https://hyfindr.com/en/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"><strong>Hyfindr.com</strong></a></p>
