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 3% 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 45-litre cylinders 300 bar WP 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 810 litres, its nominal empty weight does not exceed 729 kg, less than half the weight of the conventional steel bundles. Now, pressurized at 300 bar, its capacity grows by a 50%. These characteristics give to this bundle an even higher efficiency in logistics and operation.
