Hydrogen Safety & Consumption
Safety is paramount at PowerUP, and to uphold this commitment, we've designed a specialized hydrogen safety system for our indoor fuel cell generators. This stand-alone system employs an off-the-shelf hydrogen sensor to detect leaks, automatically closing the valve to prevent further leakage until manual reset. With simplified implementation and user-friendly design, it ensures robust functionality and safety for fuel cell generators in rooms up to 60 m3. But it does not end there. Already during our production process we are using high quality 316 stainless steel tube and pipe fittings, assembled by skilled technicians to ensure maximum quality of the internal gas distribution system.
Multiple sensors and ATEX rated solenoids are securing leakage free operation and a safe handling of leaked hydrogen should it occur. With inner and outer safety regulated by different controllers we achieve maximum safety and redundancy.
PowerUP's products require pure hydrogen, demanding a purity level of ≥99.95% (Hydrogen 3.5 or higher). Impurities are tolerated within the limits of EN 17124. Maintaining high hydrogen purity is essential for achieving optimal performance, longevity, reliability, efficiency, and environmental benefits in our generators.
