Argo-Anleg has developed the “multiple-elements gas containers” (MEGCs) swap container refuelling system for inland shipping. This allows an inland vessel to be supplied or refilled with green gaseous hydrogen in a very short time. Empty exchangeable containers can be easily unloaded from the ship by crane or forklift truck and replaced by filled exchangeable containers. At the same time, the swap containers can be transported by lorries to nearby hydrogen supply points such as wind power or solar parks, where they can be refilled with green hydrogen.

Our hydrogen tank system for trains is integrated into the roof construction of the train in a space-saving way. In addition to the technical challenges, the safety aspect plays a prominent role in passenger transport. Argo-Anleg has therefore developed a special thermally activated pressure release device (TPRD) for this purpose. This valve not only detects the temperature at the mounting point of the TPRD, but also at other system-critical interfaces. In the event of an emergency or malfunction, the valve enables the hydrogen to be released quickly and in a targeted manner.

Our hydrogen refuelling system for buses is integrated into the roof structure of the bus in a space-saving way. In addition to the technical challenges, the safety aspect plays a prominent role in passenger transport. Argo-Anleg has therefore developed a special thermally activated pressure release device (TPRD) for this purpose. This valve not only detects the temperature at the mounting point of the TPRD, but also at other system-critical interfaces. In any conceivable accident situation, the valve allows the hydrogen to be released quickly and selectively upwards into the atmosphere.

Argo-Anleg also offers H2 tank systems for trucks, with a capacity of 14 to 20 kg. For heavy-duty use on the road, we have developed a special tank holder that can permanently withstand the acceleration forces and vibrations that occur. This ensures that the high-pressure storage tanks can be held securely for many years. The tank system is designed to be installed vertically directly behind the cab of the truck. It can accommodate up to five horizontal high-pressure storage tanks. The arrangement of the high-pressure storage tanks is customer- and model-specific.

Argo-Anleg also offers hydrogen solutions ready for series production for individual passenger transport. Our customer- and model-specific H2 tank systems have a capacity of 3.5 kg to 5 kg. We have reduced the number of necessary components and thus the weight of the overall system to a minimum by developing a proprietary gas handling unit (GHU).
