Hydrogen Vehicles’ Pressure Sensors Are a Key Safety Component
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. A …
Electronic Pressure Sensors and Predictive Maintenance
Robert Lukat | Applications, PressurePredictive maintenance, a system where inputs from electronic sensors and transmitters are used to help forecast when equipment needs to be serviced or replaced, is the key to minimizing downtime, maximizing efficiency, and saving money. Whether production lines …
NEMA Rating and IP Rating: Explaining the Difference Between the Two Designations
Robert Lukat | Know-how, PressureFor optimal safety and performance, electrical equipment needs to be sheltered from the environment. Both a NEMA rating and an IP rating indicate the level of protection a device has against outside conditions, ranging from falling dust to ocean waves. These two …
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 …
