The combination of our deep cryogenic expertise, Howden's compression know-how and proven track records, makes Chart your ideal project partner to deliver gaseous and liquid hydrogen solutions across the value chain.
Hydrogen presents a series of unique challenges for its safe and economical storage and distribution. By combining the core expertise of Chart and Howden we have developed highly innovative solutions for our customers focused on optimising safety, availability, reliability, footprint with total lowest cost of ownership.
Products and solutions across the gaseous and liquid hydrogen value chain.
Liquid hydrogen will play a major role in the green energy transition. The cryogenic technology involved utilizes safe, low pressure, double wall systems and is proven reliable over many decades and across multiple applications, including aerospace, industry, science and research.
Liquid hydrogen storage eliminates high pressure cylinders and tanks and is a more compact and energy dense solution than gaseous storage. Chart is the undisputed leader in cryogenic liquid hydrogen storage with > 800 tanks in hydrogen service around the world for aerospace, FCEV fuel stations, FC forklift fueling, liquefaction and many industrial applications.
Capacities from 6,000 to 17,600 US gallons. By incorporating the same superior insulation and high quality construction that we use with our stationary tanks we minimize net evaporation rate and boil-off gas Manufacturing and servicing facilities in US and Europe and recent addition of a fully equipped specialist facility in Theodore, AL.
Flowcom® flow metering systems are proven to deliver significant benefits to fleet managers and driver-operators. Simple, convenient and safe to operate, our high precision meters are designed specifically for hydrogen service, offer Bluetooth® data transfer and comply with recognized standards and measurement requirements.
Plate fin heat exchangers (PFHE) are highly efficient, compact, low weight units and principal components in the hydrogen liquefaction process. Chart has been providing PFHE for hydrogen service for many decades and our superior fin geometries and vacuum brazing technology are your guarantee of the most energy efficient heat exchange solution and highest vacuum leak test integrity.
Our Chart China team recently celebrated completion of liquid hydrogen storage tanks engineered and built in Changzhou. With world class facilities across three continents and a wealth of cryogenic and compression expertise, Chart is uniquely positioned to accelerate the energy transition through the adoption of hydrogen.
In October 2020, Chart acquired a 300,000 ft2 facility in Mobile, Alabama. While the factory had a proud legacy and industry leading liquid hydrogen trailer manufacturing, it had limited capacity.
In 18 months Chart has increased trailer capacity 5-fold and created >130 jobs in clean tech.
