Hydrogen Storage

In order to design and optimize a pressurized hydrogen tank (specifically an 8 bar storage with capacity of 1 liters and maximum budget of 500 thousand rupiah) there is a few things I've compiled in my head to do so, which includes;

1. Design the storage container with lightweight and high-strength materials, which are also strong and cost effective such as carbon fiber, aluminum, or other composite materials. This will help to reduce the weight and ensure that the container can withstand the pressure.

2. Consider using a pressure regulator to control the pressure of the hydrogen being stored. This will help to prevent over-pressurization and ensure safe storage. We'd also looks for affordable and yet reliable valves and pressure regulators that are suitable for hydrogen applications

3. Optimize the design of the valve and fitting system to ensure that they are compatible with the high-pressure hydrogen gas. This will help to prevent any leaks or other safety issues.

4. Use a pressure relief device to ensure that the container can release pressure in the event of an emergency. This is used for a safety feature, to make sure there is no burst when an over pressurization happens

5. Efficient Space Utilization: Design the storage system to fit in compact spaces, enabling easy integration into various applications, such as hydrogen-powered vehicles or portable energy systems.

6. Testing and Certification: Ensure that the storage system meets relevant safety standards and undergoes appropriate testing and certification processes to ensure its reliability and performance.

7. Cost-Effective Manufacturing: Explore cost-effective manufacturing methods, such as extrusion or casting, for the pressure vessel. These methods can help keep the production cost within the budget.
