FASTECH Advances FASTMAX Hydrogen Fueling System to Final Assembly Phase
FASTECH, a prominent energy solutions provider, is making significant strides in the production of its FASTMAX Transportable Hydrogen Fueling Station. This innovative system is engineered to enhance hydrogen accessibility across the nation, aligning with the growing demand for clean mobility solutions.
Milestone Progress of the FASTMAX System
In collaboration with industry partners, FASTECH has successfully completed trailer fabrication and integrated core hydrogen components. Notably, the FASTMAX system features the Maximator 1.5 Compression Module and Kustec Racoon 45 Hydrogen Chiller, mounted on twist-lock connectors. This design ensures both stability and mobility, a crucial attribute for modern fueling stations.
The construction employs a 50-foot triple-axle step-deck trailer equipped with advanced infrastructure, including a concealed cable tray and a barrier wall for electrical panels, affirming safety and functionality during high-pressure hydrogen operations.
Robust Features and Next Steps
As FASTECH moves the trailer to its Fountain Valley headquarters for final assembly, key integrations will be showcased. These include the installation of a Bennett High Flow Hydrogen Dispenser, essential electrical and mechanical components, and thorough factory acceptance testing to ensure safety and efficiency.
Upon completion, the FASTMAX system is set to deliver fueling at pressures of up to 700 bar, complying with the SAE J2601 protocol. This capability is enhanced by integrated flame detection and advanced cooling systems, positioning the FASTMAX as a leader in safety standards.
Understanding the FASTMAX Station
With a foundation built on Maximator’s compressor technology, FASTMAX emerges as a fully transportable, self-contained hydrogen fueling station. This system is designed to compress, store, cool, and dispense hydrogen effectively at varied fueling pressures for light- and heavy-duty vehicles.
Key specifications include:
- Capacity of up to 110 kg/hr at 500 bar inlet
- Storage capabilities for up to 40 kg at 1000 bar
- Power requirements of 200 kW, operating on 480 VAC, in a three-phase system
- Operational temperature range from -20°C to +40°C
- Noise level maintained under 70 dB at 10m distance
Pioneering the Hydrogen Economy
As a leading player in the construction of hydrogen and CNG fueling stations in the U.S., FASTECH remains at the forefront of establishing safe and efficient fueling infrastructure. To date, the company has engineered over 50 hydrogen stations, significantly contributing to the hydrogen economy.
According to FASTECH Business Development Lead Pete Pugnale, “FASTMAX combines elite partners such as Kwik, Bennett, Maximator, and Kustec to offer a compact and flexible fueling platform, making significant advancements for the future of hydrogen mobility.”
