Eco Marathon Pressure Regulator (EMPR) is specially designed for teams taking part in the Hydrogen prototype and urban category Shell Eco Marathon competitions, with in-built smart and safety features including:
Two-Stage Pressure Regulation With Factory Preset Outlet:
Inlet up to 350bar and outlet of 0.5bar (factory adjustable). Inherently safe for fuel cell operation without the need for manual adjustment.
High Flow-Rate:
36NLPM Hydrogen flow-rate capable of powering up to 3kW fuel cell.
Pressure Relief Devices:
Thermal pressure relief device (TPRD), emergency relief valve and safety relief valve at the low pressure outlet ensure safe operation.
Ultra Low-Power High-Flow Solenoid Valve:
Normally Closed (NC) solenoid valve for added safety, with a low operating continuous power consumption of 0.35W for fuel efficiency.
Gas Pressure Transducer:
Live status monitoring of the remaining fuel pressure in the gas cylinder.
