Pressure Regulator for Hydrogen Refueling Stations – The Swagelok® Ramp Regulator Enhances Safety in Hydrogen Fueling
The Swagelok® Ramp Regulator is specifically designed for the demanding conditions of hydrogen refuelling stations. It withstands rapid temperature and pressure fluctuations and provides precise, controlled pressure regulation during vehicle refuelling in accordance with SAE J2601.
The patented removable cartridge design allows for quick maintenance without removing the regulator from the system.
Also suitable for other industrial applications where high pressures and high flows are required.
Note: Not suitable as a shut-off valve.
