Innovative Hydrogen Compressor Package Revolutionizes Refueling Stations
Key Ideas
- Ariel and Hoerbiger collaborated to develop a compact and powerful compressor tailored to the hydrogen industry's needs for Hoerbiger's new hydrogen compressor package HCP 500 in Trnava, Slovakia.
- The HCP 500 offers excellent controllability of flow rates, high regulation precision, and a broad regulation range, making it suitable for heavy-duty refueling stations and trailer filling facilities.
- H2 MOBILITY Deutschland is utilizing the compressor package for its new heavy-duty refueling station concept, allowing refueling at pressures ranging from 350 bar up to 500 bar for trucks and buses.
- The collaboration between H2 MOBILITY, Hoerbiger, and Ariel demonstrates the significance of technology partnerships in advancing the hydrogen economy, with the Düsseldorf refueling station being a prime example of technological advancement and efficiency.
Ariel and Hoerbiger have successfully collaborated on developing a cutting-edge compressor tailored specifically for the demands of the hydrogen industry. This innovative compressor is a key component of Hoerbiger's latest hydrogen compressor package, the HCP 500, which will be manufactured at Hoerbiger's new compressor packaging plant in Trnava, Slovakia. The HCP 500 incorporates Hoerbiger's advanced compressor capacity system, eHydroCOM, ensuring precise regulation and a wide regulation range to meet the needs of electrolyzers and hydrogen refueling stations, enabling a high mass flow rate. This compressor package is ideal for heavy-duty refueling stations and trailer filling facilities, providing long operational times in various operational scenarios.
The HCP 500 not only boasts superior performance in Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) compared to current market technologies but also offers standardization and compact installation to aid end-users in achieving their ownership cost objectives. With expertise spanning several decades and a commitment to high-quality components, the HCP 500 is designed for high-performance hydrogen refueling stations and filling plants with excellent availability.
H2 MOBILITY Deutschland, a leading figure in the expansion of public hydrogen refueling station networks, has adopted this compressor package for its new heavy-duty refueling station design, catering to trucks and buses. This system can accommodate refueling at a wide range of pressures, from 350 bar up to 500 bar. The collaborative effort between H2 MOBILITY, Hoerbiger, and Ariel signifies the importance of technology partnerships in advancing the rapidly growing hydrogen sector.
The Düsseldorf refueling station in Höherweg is highlighted as a pinnacle of hydrogen refueling station performance in Europe, showcasing the new generation of H2 MOBILITY stations. This station can accommodate multiple vehicle types simultaneously, thanks to innovative refueling technology, offering customers the advantages of hydrogen propulsion such as quick refueling times and extended range. H2 MOBILITY's network, currently comprising around 80 hydrogen refueling stations in Germany and Austria, is set to expand to over 50 stations by the end of the year, with 33 already offering refueling for trucks and buses at 350 bar.
