hydrogen station compressor with 45mpa exhaust pressure

Hydrogen refueling station compressors are one of the crucial pieces of equipment in a hydrogen energy refueling station, mainly used to compress low-pressure hydrogen to a high-pressure level suitable for vehicle hydrogen storage systems.

Description

With the rapid expansion of hydrogen energy applications, especially the rise of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, the performance demands on hydrogen refueling station compressors have increased significantly. This equipment efficiently, stably, and leak-free accomplishes hydrogen refueling tasks and adapts to a wide range of operating environments.

Characteristics of Hydrogen Refueling Station Compressor

  1. Power range: Motor power options from 3 kW to 220 kW, suitable for hydrogen refueling stations of varying sizes and requirements.
  2. Customized design: Both inlet and discharge pressures are customizable to meet specific customer needs, offering flexible solutions.
  3. Compression stage selection: Choose from 1 to 3 compression stages to suit different compression demands and working conditions.
  4. High displacement capacity: Single compressor displacement up to 2000 Nm³/h, ensuring efficient and rapid refueling for high-flow requirements.
  5. Digital control: Advanced digital-analog design combined with pulse calculation technology reduces vibration and energy waste, optimizing the compression process.
  6. Skid-mounted design: The skid-mounted structure allows for quick installation and commissioning, enabling rapid deployment and use on site.

Working Principle of the Hydrogen Refueling Station Compressor

The compressor operates on the principle of volumetric compression, using mechanical devices (such as pistons or screws) for stepwise compression of hydrogen to the specified pressure. The process involves:

1. Hydrogen intake: Low-pressure hydrogen enters the compressor via the inlet, controlled by the suction valve.
2. Stage-by-stage compression: Hydrogen is progressively compressed in multi-stage chambers, reducing volume and increasing pressure at each stage.
3. Gas discharge: Once the desired high pressure is reached, hydrogen is discharged through the exhaust valve into storage tanks or directly into hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.
4. Digital control: The digital control system continuously monitors flow, pressure, and temperature, automatically adjusting operations to ensure stable and efficient refueling. Pulsation calculation further minimizes vibration and enhances operational efficiency and stability.
