Toyota Develops Storage Module Utilizing Resin High-Pressure Hydrogen Tanks

Toyota City, Japan, Mar 15, 2022 - (JCN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - Toyota Motor Corporation (Toyota) announced today that it has developed a hydrogen storage module that integrates multiple resin high-pressure hydrogen tanks at 70 MPa for automobiles--already proven in the "Mirai" fuel cell vehicle (FCEV)--and safety devices such as a hydrogen detector and an automatic shut-off switch. Toyota will be exhibiting a conceptual model of this module at the FC Expo (International Hydrogen & Fuel Cell Expo) held at Tokyo Big Sight (Koto-ku, Tokyo) from March 16 to 18.Illustration of the hydrogen storage module conceptual modelIn connection to this module development, Toyota will also continue with verification of transport safety and hydrogen storage quantity utilizing the agile development site of a race, etc. in the same way as last year. This year as well, verification will start with the Super Taikyu Race in Suzuka, to be held from March 19 to 20.Background of module developmentToyota has been working on initiatives toward realizing a hydrogen-based society, such as the sale of FCEVs and FC systems. As part of this, the 70 MPa resin high-pressure hydrogen tank developed for automobiles is now the subject of numerous requests from those who would like to use it in railways, shipping, and port cargo handling, as well as FC generators. However, using the same tanks in various fields requires meeting different safety standards and adjusting to each environment. For this reason, they are not currently used for a wide range of purposes. The government is working on a range of studies to promote the early adoption of hydrogen while ensuring safety, and Toyota and its business partners are ready to offer cooperation and support. Toyota developed this hydrogen storage module as a way to answer these demands and expand the use of hydrogen.Initiatives to promote the use of high-pressure hydrogen tanksStarting last year, Toyota has been carrying out repeated verification testing with its business partners throughout the whole phases of producing, transporting, and using at the Super Taikyu Series venue, a place for agile development that embodies the idea of "making ever-better motorsports-bred cars." This is also connected to the development of this conceptual model. This year too, starting with the Super Taikyu Race in Suzuka (March 19 to 20), Toyota will be working on connecting with new business partners and carrying out verification testing with the idea of expanding hydrogen use even further.This race will be used to verify the transport of large amounts of hydrogen by an FC truck that will carry resin high-pressure hydrogen tanks for automobiles with large volumes (2 sets of 16-tank packages) filled at 45 MPa.This verification will be implemented upon the certification of the vessels by the Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry, and is an initiative that will also contribute to the studies being carried out by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport, and Tourism for encouraging the use of hydrogen. In keeping pace with studies by the government, Toyota will continue to use opportunities such as the Super Taikyu races to verify its capabilities in utilizing the 70 MPa which is certified only for use in automobiles.Features of the hydrogen storage module conceptual modelIn addition to the three variations of hydrogen capacity based on the resin high-pressure hydrogen tank used in the Mirai, large modules that use tanks with enlarged capacities are also included in the lineup.Feature 1Storing and transporting hydrogenThe module unit, which packages safety-assured resin hydrogen tanks for use in automobiles, is integrated with various safety devices that automatically monitor operation status to ensure the module is extremely safe. As storing and transporting hydrogen more safely and efficiently can be done through high-capacity hydrogen loads, it is possible to use hydrogen-based energy in a range of locations where hydrogen filling is difficult, such as ports or mountain areas.Feature 2Using hydrogenWhen using hydrogen as a fuel for FC products, in combination with the FC system module released by Toyota in March 2021, allows safe and easy use in a range of fields, including mobility such as trains and ships in addition to trucks and buses, port cargo handling, and FC generators.For further details, refer to the link. https://www.toyota.co.jp/fuelcells/en/index.html Copyright 2022 JCN Newswire.

Hansamkora’s STS water tank has been designated as an excellent procurement product of Korea, recognized for its innovative technology

Seoul, Korea / October 25, 2021 / SEAPRWire / – Hansamkora Co. Ltd, as an innovative product supplier, located in Gimje city, Jeollabuk-do province, South Korea, manufactures and provides water tanks and clear wells by using stainless STS444 and STS329LD which are highly resistant to intergranular corrosion, pitting corrosion and stress corrosion cracking or SCC. Stainless steel contains a certain amount of chromium that prevents the iron from rusting. Stainless blocks oxidation by preventing the intrusion of oxygen and oxides in the air with its oxidation-proof coating, for which it shows a high level of corrosion resistance and hygiene. This unique characteristic of stainless steel is what Hansamkora successfully took advantage of in its product development. Especially its ‘channel-type STS-lining water tank for smart water management’ was selected as one of the 2nd innovative prototypes by the Public Procurement Service which evaluated yet-to-be-commercialized innovative products that can improve public services based on their potential for public use, social value, innovation, and marketability. Hansamkora improved the hygiene of the water tank with a channel-type stainless lining that prevents water from stagnating around training walls or corners in the concrete tank, which is monitored in real-time with a water quality instrument to immediately respond to a problem. This smart product is well-acknowledged for its contribution to public safety. Companies with an excellent procurement product designated by the Public Procurement Service get an opportunity to supply the product to necessary organizations through a private contract, etc. They can also participate in a variety of support programs such as Korea ON-line E-Procurement System (KONEPS), expo, and the foreign procurement market pioneer program which were designed to facilitate their entrance to domestic and foreign procurement markets. Hansamkora’s ‘STS water tank equipped with siphon with spinning filter’ and ‘STS cylindrical wave water tank that creates wave-induced swirl flow’ is registered as excellent procurement products. Its ‘STS water tank equipped with siphon with spinning filter’ provides clean water by removing particulate matters including dirt and sand in treated water through a siphon with a spinning filter. Plus, it prevents damage from strong wind to exterior materials thanks to its use of the compression flange method. Hansamkora’s ‘STS cylindrical wave water tank that creates wave-induced swirl flow’ can be installed within a building just like existing rectangular water tanks. In addition, this innovative water tank offers the benefits of using a cylindrical water tank, boasting structural stability and S-shaped mixed fluid flow Hansamkora was chosen as a company in the ‘take-off’ stage by Jeollabuk-do province. On July 21, Mayor Park Jun-bae of Gimje city announced seven winners of the ‘2021 Jeonllabok-do growth ladder program to foster SMEs’, each of whom is designated as a growing company, a company in the take-off stage, or a leading company. The support recipients were selected out of 47 influential companies in the province by the provincial government, Jeonbuk Technopark, and Jeollabukdo Business Agency. With its water tanks designated as an excellent product and innovative product through a strict evaluation and selection process, Hansamkora is proud of its technological competitiveness and is now trying to enter overseas markets as well. Hansamkora said that against the backdrop where many countries around the world show interest in residential water, it would increase efforts into global business expansion with its products which have completely solved the problems of existing water tanks.
