Tempco is participating with our partner for PCHE printed circuit exchangers, Microchannel Devices, at the Hydrogen Technology Expo in Hamburg, scheduled at the Hamburg Messe in Germany on October 23-24.

After the Italian appointment with Hydrogen Expo in September and the June one with the Hydrogen Technology Expo in Houston, Texas, we are back with another European fair to present the advantages of the application of single and multistream PCHE heat exchangers in hydrogen refueling stations.

Hydrogen refueling stations are a key enabler for the widespread adoption of hydrogen-powered fuel cell vehicles for the sustainable mobility of the future using renewable energy. A key aspect of these stations is heat management during the hydrogen compression and distribution process. Printed Circuit Heat Exchangers (PCHE) play a fundamental role in this context, offering high efficiency and reliability, thanks to the ability to manage the gas at the high pressures imposed by this kind of applications.

What are PCHE heat exchangers?


Printed Circuit Heat Exchangers (PCHE) are highly efficient thermal management devices used to transfer heat between two or more fluids. These innovative heat exchangers are made using the photo-etching technique on metal sheets, creating microchannels through which the fluids pass. The engraved sheets are then welded into a single block using a process called diffusion bonding, which joins the sheets at an atomic level, creating a very solid and compact structure.

The high structural robustness of PCHE exchangers therefore allows it to meet the extreme operating conditions imposed by emerging high-pressure hydrogen cooling applications, and in particular for hydrogen refueling stations.

Come visit us and discover all the benefits of PCHE exchangers for hydrogen refueling stations with Tempco and Microchannel Devices at the Hydrogen Technology Expo in Hamburg, 23-24 October 2024.
