permanently ensures that if the activation temperature is exceeded , the TPRDs are triggered , and the tank system is emptied safely .
Reliable and efficient hydrogen supply thanks to TOPAQ system solution
Going beyond the product level , P + P offers a solution at system level with TOPAQ . The company uses its material , development and production expertise

to develop and manufacture all TOPAQ core components independently . In addition to tank valves , this includes H2 lines , distribution rails , High Pressure Regulation Units ( HPRU ) and rails for H2 injection systems on the H2 engine . The validated P + P interfaces allow up to 25 assembly repetitions without leaks . Thanks to its modularity , TOPAQ enables application-optimized system architectures for use in mobile and industrial applications .
