Hydrogen

Solutions for Hydrogen applications across multiple Industries   

Aware of the new energy challenges affecting our world, Bitron is convinced of the need to use different energies adapted to each use while leaving the possibility of using hybrid solutions. Hydrogen is indeed an interesting alternative energy that meets certain needs in transport, industry, heating and auxiliary electricity production. We have therefore developed a first range of low-pressure hydrogen solenoid valves for fuel cells based on our long experience in solenoids. For the cooling of the stack, we also offer a modular actuator with 2 to 4 ways with different flow rates.
