Ariel Corp. recently unveiled its 70,000th compressor, the KBH hydrogen compressor, in collaboration with Hoerbiger at the newly opened Trnava Packaging Facility in Slovakia. This compressor, designed to cater to the growing hydrogen market, is set to be shipped to H2Mobility in Germany later this year. The KBH compressor is a high-flow compression solution capable of handling various inlet and outlet pressures for hydrogen storage, transport, and fueling needs. It is designed to compress hydrogen gas to pressures up to 7,250 psig with over 250 kg/hr flow. To ensure high gas purity, the compressor is non-lubricated and features advanced materials for optimal efficiency and reliability. Named in honor of Hunter N. Wright, the late son of Ariel's Chairman of the Board, Karen Buchwald Wright, the KBH compressor signifies a blend of innovation and legacy within the company. With a unique naming convention, Ariel pays tribute to Hunter's influence by associating his name with a milestone product. The KBH compressor's specifications include a suction pressure of 370 psig, discharge pressure of 7,250 psig, flow rate of 250 kg/hr, and other key technical details, showcasing its capabilities in meeting the demands of the hydrogen mobility market. Ariel's commitment to delivering cutting-edge compression equipment for hydrogen underscores its collaborative efforts with Hoerbiger and its vision to set new standards for cost-effective compression in the industry. By validating the compressor's performance and component life at their hydrogen test facility in Ohio, Ariel ensures that the KBH compressor meets the stringent requirements for reliability and efficiency in hydrogen applications. This unveiling represents a significant milestone for Ariel as it continues to drive innovation and excellence in the energy sector.
