The Brandenburgische Technische Universität Cottbus-Senftenberg, a leading educational institution in Germany, has announced a tender titled “Druckzyklusprüfstand für Composite-Druckbehälter (Typ IV und Typ V)” aimed at procuring a facility for cyclic testing of composite hydrogen tanks.
This tender was published on January 7, 2025, with a submission deadline of February 6, 2025. This initiative is significant for the hydrogen industry as it seeks to enhance testing capabilities, ensuring the safe and efficient storage of hydrogen in composite tanks.
The main objective of the tender is to acquire a system capable of performing cyclic and burst tests on composite hydrogen tanks, specifically Types IV and V. This testing is crucial as it helps in assessing the durability and pressure tolerance of hydrogen storage tanks, which are critical components in hydrogen applications such as fuel cell vehicles and stationary energy storage systems.
The requirements for this tender include a focus on technical competencies related to the ability to perform high-pressure tests, as highlighted by the inclusion of classifications such as pressure gauges, servo-hydraulic test apparatus, and high-pressure pipelines. These requirements emphasize the need for precise and reliable equipment to handle the high pressures associated with hydrogen storage.
