AIChE Cleveland Section October 2021 Meeting, Anatomy of a H2 Fitting, Swagelok & H2 Economy Panel Discussion

1. Anatomy of a H2 Fitting: Hydrogen must be stored at high pressures to achieve the energy density required for use in fuel cell vehicles and infrastructure. This presentation will demonstrate the performance attributes required of fittings used in these systems. As a small-molecule gas, hydrogen can migrate through tiny crevices and diffuse into the materials designed to contain them. Also, high storage and dispensing pressures, as well as rapid thermal and pressure changes, are challenges for the processing of hydrogen as a fuel source. Specification of high-performing fluid system fittings designed for these challenging applications will help ensure the long-term, leak-tight operation of the system. 2. Hydrogen Economy: Hydrogen demand in Transportation-policy landscape, technology, and business models from the Virtual Panel Discussion of the “First Element Conference” with Panelists from Chevron (Danielle Lincoln, General Manager Renewables), Cummins (Amy Adams, Vice President of Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Technologies), and Toyota (Craig Scott, Group Manager - Portfolio Business Management).
