[0002] When using GD134-135 / 10-220 diaphragm hydrogen compressors and GD4-135 / 10-220 diaphragm hydrogen compressors to compress high-pressure hydrogen at hydrogen stations, there are risks such as fire, explosion, poisoning, and suffocation if a safety emergency occurs. When actions such as rapid shutdown, venting, cutting off the gas source, and sounding the alarm are required, they are all manual, step-by-step operations. This has disadvantages such as multiple operational processes, complex operations, long distances to each point, and long time consumption.
