Hydrogen Valves for Generators
Hydrogen Valves for Generators
(OP)
Hi,
I'm assisting a maintenance crew at the power plant that I work at in changing out a Hydrogen Valve that connects from our generator to our hydrogen supply line.
The info that I have on the valve is:
1" valve rated at 100 psig
Its connecting to stainless steel piping
Is there any special requirements for a hydrogen valve, or some sort of standards that need to be adhered to for Hydrogen valves? If so could someone please advise me of them. I'm sure there are.
Your help is appreciated.
Regards,
Jim

I believe that your valve selection must be made in accordance with the Standards that exist for Hydrogen Piping Systems.
"NFPA 50A; Standard for Gaseous Hydrogen Systems at Consumer Sites (1994 or later Edition)"
"CGA G-5.4, Standard for Hydrogen Piping Systems at Consumer Locations"
Hydrogen system design and component selection should be done with the supervision of an experienced engineer.
