The compressor unit is the key component of a hydrogen fuelling station because the fuelling is carried out using compressed gaseous H2 at pressures from 35 to 70 MPa. Apart from the initial state – gaseous or liquid – the technology used for fuelling also depends on a range of other factors, as for example the throughput and the type of vehicle to be fuelled. Linde offers the suitable compression systems for the most varied requirements.
With the ionic compressor and the cryo pump, Linde has two cutting-edge, self-developed and patented technologies in its portfolio which impress with their outstanding reliability, their low amount of maintenance and their high energy efficiency. Both systems can be optimally tailored to meet your individual requirements. Furthermore, we have advanced our fuelling technology to a point where we are now the first company worldwide that can produce small series of H2 fuelling technologies.
