LNG and CNG Pressure Gauges for Natural Gas Vehicles
Jeff Placek | Applications, PressureAn increasing number of heavy-duty trucks and buses use liquified or compressed natural gas as a fuel source. WIKA offers high-quality LNG and CNG pressure gauges for these vehicles’ fuel tanks. Natural gas is less expensive than diesel or gasoline. What’s …
Hydrogen Vehicles’ Pressure Sensors Are Key to Safety
Jeff Placek | Know-how, PressureThe hydrogen tanks of fuel cell electric vehicles are under very high pressure. For safety and reliability, the pressure sensors and pressure transmitters in FCEVs must be able to withstand corrosion, vibration and shock, and hydrogen permeation/embrittlement. …
WIKA Develops Pressure Sensor for Hydrogen-Powered Vehicles
Jeff Placek | Applications, PressureIn hydrogen-powered vehicles, the gas in the H 2 storage tank has to be regulated through a series of control valves before reaching the fuel cell. Pressure instruments play an important role in this process, but standard pressure sensors fall short in hydrogen …
