HySTAT^™ DISPENSER MODULE

As part of a complete refueling station, the pressurized storage tanks supply hydrogen to a hydrogen dispenser which is used to refuel a hydrogen powered vehicle. Hydrogenics' HySTAT Fuel Dispenser module is available with a variety of options that meet the fueling needs of any customer. The Fuel Dispenser module includes a hose and nozzle, and system controls for the operation of the dispenser and the flow of hydrogen to a vehicle. Dispensers that are capable of providing hydrogen/natural gas blends are also available.

The experience of using a HySTAT Fuel Dispenser is very similar to that of using a conventional natural gas dispenser. The user enables the dispenser from the user-friendly interface and attaches the nozzle to their vehicle's refueling receptacle. Hydrogenics' monitoring and control system automatically manages the rest of the fueling process. The system determines when the tank is full and automatically stops dispensing hydrogen.

Many of the features and options of the HySTAT Fuel Dispenser are designed to make the fueling of a hydrogen-powered vehicle familiar, comfortable, and safe for customers.

• Hydrogenics uses "hydrogen-only" nozzles that are designed specifically for hydrogen vehicles and come with a standard in-line break-away safety feature.
• Mass flow meters are incorporated into the standard dispenser to ensure safe and accurate fills.
• The hose and nozzle are designed to electrically ground the vehicle automatically.

As with all fuels, hydrogen must be handled with respect. Safety precautions similar to those used at conventional gasoline stations also apply to hydrogen fueling stations.
