The renewable energy market is facing a major challenge: the storage of sustainably generated energy. Hydrogen systems such as electrolyzers, fuel cells and secondary batteries are crucial for progress. These systems are currently in the development, scale-up and optimization phase. Precise manufacturing processes, advanced testing systems and continuous research are essential to drive this transition and ensure efficient energy storage solutions.

FLEXI-FLOW enables hydrogen innovation at Nefit Bosch

At Nefit Bosch, the ambition to be a leader in renewable heating solutions is a mission in motion. As part of Bosch's comprehensive sustainability strategy, the company is investing heavily in hydrogen technology as a clean alternative to natural gas. The plant in the Netherlands plays an important role in this transition. Here, new heating technologies are developed and validated in a state-of-the-art hydrogen research and testing center. The development and testing of hydrogen boilers requires highly precise and reliable flow controllers. In an environment where safety, precision and scalability are crucial, Nefit Bosch needed a partner that could meet these requirements.

Humidification of fuel cells

In your car's engine, gasoline reacts directly with oxygen from the air to trigger combustion and get the car running. This is the conventional way. An alternative to this is the indirect generation of energy, a clean method using a fuel cell.

Oxygen as an oxidizing agent and hydrogen as an energy carrier are supplied to both sides of the fuel cell. In this way, the chemical energy of the gases is converted into electrical energy, which drives an electric motor. Humidification of such a fuel cell is essential. For this purpose, a German research institute turned to Bronkhorst's sales partner Wagner Mess- und Regeltechnik. They supplied a flow solution to supply the reaction partners hydrogen and oxygen with a specific relative humidity.

Hydrogen storage in metal hydride

The German Aerospace Center (DLR) in Stuttgart is researching alternative methods for storing hydrogen, particularly for fuel cells or vehicles. In their efforts to store hydrogen in metal hydride containers, they turned to our German distribution partner, Wagner Mess- und Regeltechnik, in search of a solution for accurately feeding hydrogen gas into the container and measuring the hydrogen gas exiting it.

Flow measurement solution for hydrogen storage in liquid organic hydrogen carriers

Our German partner Wagner Mess- und Regeltechnik supported research and development companies in Germany in researching innovative methods for hydrogen storage. They used synthetic aromatic heat transfer oils, which are commonly used in baking systems and other high-temperature applications. The heat transfer oil acts as a liquid organic hydrogen carrier (LOHC). In this setup, high-temperature Coriolis flow meters in combination with a WADose HPLC pump play an important role in the process.

Flow controllers in the production of lithium-ion battery anodes

In the production of silicon/carbon anodes for lithium-ion batteries, Bronkhorst's EL-FLOW thermal mass flow controllers perfectly control the supply of important gaseous raw materials for the production of long-life, high-capacity batteries.
