Listening to our customer’s requirements, Carbotainer presents its new innovative, modular, lightweight bundle: So light it allows carrying 26 units in a standard semi-truck.
Although the weight advantage is significant for any gas, this bundle made by Carbotainer has been specifically designed for lighter gases, such as Helium or Hydrogen, where the ratio between the weight of the content and the cylinder’s is insignificant. For H2, this ratio grows from 0,9% in traditional bundles to almost 2,2% with our new carbon fibre cylinders bundle.
Comparably to conventional steel bundles, Carbotainer
has developed a lightweight modular bundle formed of
composite material cylinders. It can be stacked and contains
18 50-litre cylinders interconnected by a manifold, which
make a single isolated tank of pressurized gas. They are
placed in a honeycomb layout, thanks to the hexagonal form
of its section, which means a great space advantage.
Made of galvanized steel of great resistance, with a total
capacity of 900 litres, its nominal empty weight does not
exceed 625 kg, compared to the 700 litres of capacity
and 1800 kg of weight of the conventional steel bundles.
These characteristics give to this bundle a high efficiency in
logistics and operation.
