Hydrogen is considered as one of the central building blocks of the energy transition. In the decarbonisation of our energy supply, hydrogen and its derivatives have become indispensable as an environmentally friendly and sustainable energy source. Both, its production and use, harbour enormous potential for a future-oriented economy. Green hydrogen is mainly produced by electrolysers powered by wind, solar or hydropower. This hydrogen can be converted into heat and electrical energy by combustion units and fuel cells.
The design and operation of electrolysers, fuel cells and hydrogen combustion engines present many new challenges and require the best and most resistant components and materials. Electrolysers and fuel cell systems must not leak under varying pressure and temperature to ensure optimum function and efficiency. This is achieved through targeted and precise pre-tensioning with disc spring assemblies in a wide range of variants. We at Christian Bauer offer the optimum solutions here thanks to our many years of expertise in design, materials and production. Thanks to our precise calculations and innovative coatings, we manufacture complete assemblies for system tensioning. These are characterised by low hysteresis, durability and automated assembly.
We have the right materials in our portfolio for use in hydrogen atmospheres, such as in pumps or valves. Under extreme conditions, such as pressures of up to 700 bar and temperatures below -250°C, our disc springs are hydrogen-resistant, low-relaxation and resistant to brittle fracture.
To meet the special challenges posed by hydrogen, we offer a broad portfolio of solutions ranging from individual springs to complete tensioning solutions, including tension rods and innovative packaging concepts. Our membership of two important international clusters (www.hzwo.eu / www.e-mobilbw.de) ensures that Christian Bauer always has its finger on the pulse and thus remains a leader in the dynamic field of the hydrogen industry.
