On 9 January, the Hydrogen Energy Ship No. 1 in the Western Sea, which was on board the Sunwise ship for the hydrogen system, was successfully discharged. The vessel, the country's first commercial high-end tourism business reception vessel for hydrogen fuel cell power, is expected to be invested in commercial tourism and environmental monitoring in the Tsang Shanxi Sea in March of this year.
Xingen 1 of the West Sea is an autonomous design for research and development by domestic enterprises such as Xijiang Lake Heart Science and Technology Development Ltd. and SPIC Hydrogen Energy and Technology Development Co. Ltd. (NCHET), Sunwise (Shanghai Sunwise). The main power of ships is the “hydrotom” hydrogen fuel cell system, developed autonomously by national hydrogen technology, with a system net output power of 240kW, which is developed exclusively for ship applications and can withstand the harshness of the inland river and offshore environment, with 100 per cent domestic production of parts and components and low-cost, large-scale production. The hydrogen supply system for ships is provided by Shanghai Sunwise, with 35 MPa working pressure, 35 MPa large-volume aluminium carbon fibre entangled with gas cylinders and 45 kg hydrogen storage. Based on Sunwise's mature technological R & D capacity and product application experience, the six bottles are designed for compact hydrogen systems and are structurally secure, with light-quantifiable, shock-resistant, low risk of hydrogen leakage and brittle-resistant.
The vessel is the aluminium alloy hull and is propelled by double-plane double oars. A total length of 23.65 metres, 5.5 metres wide and 2.4 metres deep, designed to eat 0.95 metres of waterlines, and three crew members capable of carrying 22 crews, with a maximum speed of 25 Km/h.
This successful discharge of the Sunwise hydrogen energy ship on board the Sunwise system marks the capacity of Shanghai Sunwise to develop and deliver hydrogen system products for ships, extending the scope of Shanghai Sunwese hydrogen system products from 35 MPa commercial vehicles to 70 MPa on board and from vehicle use to ship use, and the extension of the application landscape to demonstrate Shanghai Sunwise's advantage in the field of hydrogen supply systems. As a follow-up, Shanghai Sunwise will make every effort to promote the demonstration of hydrogen-for-ship systems and contribute to green shipping and the achievement of the “double carbon” goal in our country!
