Our solutions for the hydrogen industry

Electrohydraulic drive systems for piston compressors and cryopumps

The approach for systems from approx. 10 kg H2/h is based on a displacement-controlled drive with variable speed and/or variable displacement. This avoids the losses that occur when a control valve is used to manage the drive. The electrohydraulic solution allows needs-based power control. Power electronics and digital control systems also come from Bosch Rexroth. The latter play a key role in ensuring smooth running and exact process control. This way, the piston movement makes optimum use of the compression space and achieves the highest possible gas-side efficiency. A suitable compressor drive cylinder can be supplied for every electrohydraulic system.

Double rod cylinder for medium hydrogen volumes

The CGV double rod cylinder is a durable and energy-efficient solution for compressing gases. It drives the flange-mounted gas compressor with high repeat accuracy and oscillating movements. The pre-tested cylinder, which is adjusted for end position accuracy, is easy to install regardless of position. Integrated leakage connections for gases on the cylinder simplify the design of the compressor heads. The cylinder position is determined by switching sensors. Forces of up to 2,500 kN can be realized. Speeds of up to 0.8 m/s are possible. CGV double rod cylinder are the optimum solution for your gas compressor. Durable - Powerful - Efficient.

Your Benefits:

• Specially optimized double rod cylinder for driving compressor systems
• robust design for maximum service life
• Position-accurate movement thanks to end position detection for maximum output and efficiency in the compression process
• ATEX certification available
• optimized for operation in combination with CytroCore

CryoPump Station with integrated cryogenic pump

The CryoPump Station revolutionizes hydrogen infrastructure with innovative technology tailored to the challenges of hydrogen mobility. Our cryopump technology enables economical hydrogen refueling, reduces operating costs by up to 70 % and reduces the space requirements of refueling stations, facilitating integration into existing structures. It was developed with Firstelement Fuel, the leading operator of hydrogen refueling stations.

Your Benefits:

• Reduced load cycles and eliminated dead volume increase efficiency up to 95%.
• With 4000 operating hours before maintenance, it significantly outperforms conventional systems.
• Minimized boil-off losses thanks to optimized thermal insulation.
• Direct vehicle refueling possible without additional high-pressure storage tanks; this reduces complexity and costs.
• With a pumping capacity of 600 kg/h, it is five times more powerful than competing technologies.
• Turnkey construction and space-saving design (<11 m²) enables use in urban areas.
• Sound pressure level below 65 dB(A) improves environmental compatibility.
• Conveying of liquid and gaseous hydrogen for new storage concepts offers flexibility for the future.
