Hydrogen Compression Systems

Triple diaphragm compression refers to the use of three diaphragms to compress hydrogen gas. It provides leak-free operation, smooth flow, and the ability to handle sensitive or corrosive fluids. This compression method is ideal for hydrogen refuelling stations because of the high pressure they require.

Compression is essential at hydrogen stations for efficient storage, faster refueling, and improved vehicle performance. By compressing hydrogen gas, it becomes possible to store more hydrogen in a smaller space, making it practical for storage and transportation. Additionally, compressed hydrogen allows for quicker refueling times and enhances the range and overall performance of hydrogen vehicles.

For hydrogen refueling, the typical pressure range for hydrogen compressors is usually between 350 to 700 bar (5075 to 10150 psi). This range allows for efficient and fast refueling of hydrogen powered vehicles, ensuring that an adequate amount of compressed hydrogen is delivered to the vehicle's storage system within a reasonable time frame. The specific pressure within this range may vary depending on factors such as the vehicle's specifications, refueling infrastructure, and regional standards and regulations.

Our hydrogen compressors are equipped with several important safety features to ensure the safe handling and operation of compressed hydrogen. Safety interlocks are implemented to prevent operation unless specific safety conditions are met, adding an extra layer of protection. The compressors also incorporate advanced leak detection systems that continuously monitor for any hydrogen leaks within the compressor or associated piping. In the event of a leak, alarms are triggered, and appropriate actions can be taken to mitigate the situation. Additionally, our compressors are equipped with emergency shutdown capabilities, allowing for immediate and safe shutdown in the event of a safety breach or abnormal operating conditions. These safety features are designed to be compliant with NFPA 2 standards, ensuring that our compressors meet the necessary safety requirements for hydrogen handling and storage. By prioritizing safety through the integration of these features, we aim to provide reliable and secure hydrogen compression solutions with maximum uptime.

To determine the optimal compressor for your site, our hydrogen specialists work closely with you. They assess current and future needs, taking into consideration factors such as expected demand, usage patterns, and growth projections. Our specialists will then propose a few configuration options tailored to your specific requirements. 
As part of the process, we also walk customers through different fueling scenarios to ensure that the chosen compressor / HRS aligns with their operational goals. This personalized and scalable approach allows us to provide you with the most effective and efficient solution for your hydrogen compression needs.
