Description
Our control cabinets for hydrogen production are purpose-built for the demanding and hazardous environments typical of the hydrogen industry. These cabinets are designed not only to ensure the safe operation of your process but also to simplify compliance with critical directives such as ATEX, IECEx, EMC, and the Low Voltage Directive. They include all required functional safety data for SIL-rated systems.
Key aspects include:
- Intrinsic Safety: Cabinets incorporate valve terminals and manifold solutions that are intrinsically safe, ensuring reliable operation even in explosive (Ex) environments.
- Integrated RIO Systems: The built-in Remote I/O systems allow for comprehensive digital connectivity, enabling real-time monitoring and control of process valves (solenoid, ball, butterfly) that are essential for hydrogen production.
- Robust & Resilient Construction: Manufactured using special materials like stainless steel and protective coatings, these cabinets are designed to resist corrosion and protect against liquids and foreign bodies. Optional heating or cooling elements help maintain optimal operating temperatures.
- Operational Flexibility: Features such as hot-swap functionality allow for the replacement of individual valves during operation without system shutdown, while tamper-proof locking mechanisms secure the system against unauthorized modifications.
