Description

Advanced Control for High-Pressure Hydrogen Refueling

The Fluidwell C401 Hydrogen Dispenser serves as the intelligent brain of modern hydrogen refueling systems. Operating at high pressures, hydrogen gas requires precise measurement and control to ensure safety and accuracy. The C401 processes high-speed signals from Coriolis mass flow meters to calculate the exact mass of hydrogen delivered, compensating for various process variables to maintain absolute precision.

Rugged Reliability in Hazardous Environments

Safety is paramount in hydrogen applications. The C401 is built to comply with strict hazardous area regulations, featuring certifications that allow for safe operation in explosive atmospheres. The unit is housed in a heavy-duty enclosure designed to withstand the rigors of a busy refueling station, protected against extreme weather conditions, UV exposure, and industrial wear. Its clear, high-contrast display ensures that critical data remains legible even in direct sunlight or low-light evening conditions.

Seamless Station Integration

Integration into a station’s Point of Sale (POS) or SCADA system is effortless with the C401. Supporting Modbus RTU and various pulse outputs, this dispenser controller allows for centralized data collection and remote monitoring. Its user-friendly interface simplifies the configuration process for technicians, while its robust data logging capabilities provide a secure record of every refueling transaction, ensuring fiscal accountability and process traceability.
