Aluminum Long Trigger Thermal PRD

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

As the use of Hydrogen gained momentum, it was a natural progression for Emcara to create a Long Trigger, Hydrogen ready thermally activated Pressure Relief Device (HPRD). Our 10,000 psi PRD is the only thermally activated, Long Trigger Pressure Relief Device specifically designed for use with Hydrogen systems. Available in trigger lengths up to 45′. Surface finishes, material treatments and internal mechanisms are designed to prevent Hydrogen embrittlement and operate at the higher pressures that are inherent with Hydrogen systems.

FEATURES

Trigger lengths are comparable with Emcara’s Viper PRD (up to 45 feet). Every 10,000 psi pressure relief device is tested for dimensional compliance and to exacting performance standards.
