Fuel Cell & Hydrogen Energy 2011: Wenger Engineering demonstrates Simulation of Fueling Process

Jan. 27, 2011 - PRLog -- With all market key players attending, the German company Wenger Engineering won’t miss out this opportunity to establish global contacts and will demonstrate the benefits of simulation.
The specialist in the field of hydrogen storage and hydrogen refueling technology provides development and simulation of thermodynamics and is a world leader in simulating complex processes for hydrogen fueling. The company’s expertise has already proven to be instrumental in developing SAE J2601, which has been issued in 2010. This first global standard was published for fueling light duty vehicles with high-pressure hydrogen storage tanks (35 MPa and 70 MPa) and Wenger Engineering has contributed to this success with important simulations. Project partners were Daimler, General Motors / Opel, Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Linde, Air Products, Air Liquide, CSA, and Powertech Labs.
SAE J2601 is intended to be revised in the next two years to include separate requirements for fueling heavy duty vehicles, forklifts and also for home-refueling appliances. Consequently, design and refinement of this standard will be one of the upcoming topics at the “Fuel Cell & Hydrogen Energy 2011” - with Wenger Engineering focussing on the development of a reliable, safe and economic hydrogen infrastructure by means of simulation. Cutting costs and reducing time to market are two of the most pressing issues of the industry. In order to accelerate innovation and reduce technology risk, mathematical simulation is therefore the method of choice. Simulations generally minimize time-consuming and expensive physical testing – not only in the field of hydrogen energy, but also when calculating heat transfer, chemical reactions and pressure drop. When it comes to innovation, it is time to turn to Wenger Engineering - Thermodynamics. Solutions. Success.
