Tests for Hydrogen Technology

Material- and component-tests for development of Hydrogen technology (e.g. Hydrogen tank):

• Materialtests at cryogenic temperatures
  
  • mechanical (at different tempertures and directions)
  • thermal (thermal conductivity, thermal contact conductivity)
  • electrical (conductivity)
  • adhesives
• Component tests (strength, stiffness, e.g. of a tank support) at cryogenic temperaturens down to 20K
• Permeability tests at RT and cryogenic ttemperatures
• Thermal cycling
  • in vacuum (thermal vacuum chamber)
  • without vacuum (LHe Dewar)
• Hydrogen embrittlement (aging in H2 in cooperation with partner)
• Vibration- and shock-tests
