The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide funding to Gas Technology Institute (GTI) to simulate, design, fabricate, and test a free piston expander that meets the precooling standard set by the SAE J2601 Protocol for hydrogen vehicle fueling. The expander would serve to replace the existing hydrogen pre-cooling system and variable area control device which controls a hydrogen vehicle’s pressure ramp rate. The project would be carried out over three Budget Periods (BP), with a Go/No-Go Decision Point between each one.
