A novel coupling assembly that integrates conventional fittings and connectors for transferring fluids at high pressures. The proprietary drive mechanism reduces the complexity associtated with coupling, thereby , reducing the risk associated with processes like hydrogen refueling.
Applications: Security
Intellectual Property: Patents applications
Technology Field: Defence, Peace, Safety and Security
Business Opportunity: Technology available for licensing. A partnering opportunity. Suitable for SMME
Technology Description: The gas coupling is a novel method of integrating Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) hardware to operate safely at gas pressures exceeding 200 bar.
Benefits & Advantages: The coupling is automation ready and it can be customized for various processes based on the specified fittings and connections. Simplified sequential operation reduces complexity and makes the coupling accessible to a wider range of untrained users.
