Some examples
LNG
For LNG (liquefied natural gas), explosion protection components, such as remote I/O or purge and pressurization systems, are used when transporting liquid hydrogen.
Station side
RFID components guarantee reliable tank identification. A VisuNET FLX Series high-resolution monitor guides the fueling process. ′
