This module focuses on hydrogen filling stations. The main objective of the module is to introduce the reader to the basic issues of design, construction and operation of filling stations.
It is expected that in the future, production of fossil fuels (mainly oil and natural gas) is will decline, and their prices will continue to rise. One alternative fuel to replace them could be hydrogen
This module’s main purpose is to create an interest for using hydrogen gas in internal combustion chamber engines such as ordinary Otto and Diesel engines.
Hydrogen can be stored in various forms: as a gas, liquid or solid, as a metal hydride or a chemical compound. In this module we will try to learn the characteristics, advantages and disadvantages of each of them.
The potential for hydrogen uses in industry and energetics is significant. Even though, for a long time, it was overlooked. However, one of its disadvantages is that it can mostly be found only in chemical compounds in nature as it is a highly reactive gas, and it must be derived from water or methane. Let´s see how to produce and managed it
