DyneCell® Cylinder
The core of Dynetek's technology is the DyneCell cylinder. It is the fastest filling cylinder on the market.
A type 3 composite cylinder, the DyneCell is designed to store a variety of compressed gases at high pressure, including hydrogen,
natural gas and various industrial gases. Dynetek has sold thousands of DyneCell cylinders worldwide to major automotive,
heavy-duty vehicle manufacturers, industrial gas, transport, and energy sectors.

- Approximately four times lighter than all-steel or aluminium tanks (type 1 cylinders)
- Approximately one-third of the weight of steel or aluminium cylinders reinforced with filament wrapping (type 2 cylinders)
- Up to 20% lighter than other cylinders on the market consisting of metal liner reinforced with filament wrapping
(type 3 cylinders)
- Up to 18% lighter than cylinders with non-metallic liners (such as plastic) with resin impregnated filament wrappings
(type 4 cylinders)

Service Pressures Offered
The DyneCell currently has five main service pressures, 3000psi (200bar), 3600psi (250bar), 5000psi (350bar), 6500psi (450bar) and to a limited extent 10000psi (700bar).
These pressures can be stored in a variety of cylinder sizes to meet customer needs. If Dynetek does not have a DyneCell that meets a customer's
requirement, one can be designed. DyneCell cylinders are also available in single or dual port configurations.
