Burckhardt Compression launches hydrogen compressor solution

The large, high-pressure piston compressor solutions are specifically designed for hydrogen trailer filling and fuel stations with high mass flows. They are designed for mass flows above 150 kg/hr, helping to reduce the required number of deployed compressors per hydrogen trailer filling or fuel station.

The hydrogen compressor has been developed and successfully tested at the company’s in-house testing facility in Switzerland. During these tests, the critical components, oil-free high-pressure piston sealing and packings have proven their mechanical and sealing performance at 550 bar discharge pressure. The optimised configuration has been selected and the durability tests to prove competitive wear rates are ongoing.

With this development, Burckhardt Compression will be able to support the hydrogen economy to scale up the volumes in hydrogen trailer filling and fuel stations in the most cost-efficient way over the installation’s lifetime.
