Raising £2,000 for the local children's hospice

Lentus were proud to fundraise a total sum of £2,000 to Helen and Douglas House in Oxford to help support local families and their terminally ill children.

Mike Dewhirst, Chairman from Polar Technology Group said, “It has been a great pleasure to work with a local charity that our team chose to support. With the restrictions of the pandemic it proved a little difficult to organise fundraising events at the start but our internal social committee team became very creative with new fundraising ideas so it never stopped us adding to the charity pot!”.

“It was wonderful news and thank you so much for the £2,000 donation. Working with Polar on some events was so much fun. Hopefully our paths will cross again!” said Nardia Bissmire at Helen & Douglas House.

Collaborating with Moog Controls Inc. on Hydrogen Storage Solutions

19 Jun, 2023

Polar Technology Management Group Ltd has developed a novel concept in hydrogen storage and is working with Moog Controls to develop an integrated hydrogen storage and management solution termed “Hydrogen in a Box”. The system benefits are based around optimal packaging efficiency, gravimetric efficiency and the ability to integrate valves and control systems into one optimised solution. A six-month long technology evaluation process has been completed and test hardware will now be manufactured. The design has been evaluated as Type 3 and Type 4 version for both 350Bar and 700Bar applications. Kieran Burley, Lead Engineer at Polar Technology said “This is a very exciting time to be working on hydrogen storage solutions, there are so many opportunities for innovation, optimization and integration. Combining novel design solutions along with innovative manufacturing processes we can package hydrogen storage efficiently in a series of co-dependent chambers forming a storage bank, rather than fitting a number of standard independent cylinders into the space.” Mark Lawton, Moog’s General Manager of the Aircraft Control Components division stated, “It has been great for Moog to collaborate with Polar in providing novel methods to efficiently store and release hydrogen in mission critical environments. This project is an integral part of Moog’s commitment to develop future green technology for commercial air travel.” The joint project will establish an appropriate specification and set of system level requirements for hydrogen storage and delivery systems for aircraft and other Industrial applications.
