Online Seminar with Sealing Expert Stefan Bock
Hydrogen, as an alternative energy storage medium, is expected to help reduce dependence on fossil fuels and increase the use of renewable energy sources. Because H2 is a volatile molecule, it is typically stored at low temperatures. This places enormous demands on technical equipment in terms of leak tightness and safety. To date, there has been little experience with the design and material selection for specialized hydrogen seals.
Elastomers are not suitable due to embrittlement at low temperatures.
I will discuss our current practices regarding specialty seals for cryogenics. This will include a discussion of the use of fluoropolymers. I will also outline suitable sealing concepts for valves, pumps, and control valves.
Here you’ll find a “live recording” of my 6th webinar from June 23, 2022.
I would really appreciate your feedback or comments on this webinar!
