Customer request:

Hydrogen refueling daughter station with the following technical specifications

• Max suction pressure: 450 bar
• Max discharge pressure: 450 bar
• Maximum flow rate (@ 450 bar): 1,000 Ncm/h, meaning around 90 kg/hour                                                                                                 Advantages and features of the SAFE solution:

We provided a compression solution characterized by:

A flexible and efficient compression unit capable of compressing and distributing hydrogen. The twin Idro Meccanica TDH85 model, coupled with two electric motors of 18.5 kW each, is top-in-class in terms of efficiency and flexibility: the wide pressure range (4 to 450 bar) in which it operates, the low number of cycles and the very low energy consumption translate into low total cost of ownership (TCO) over the entire life cycle of the product.

A “green” solution: the Distance piece at atmospheric pressure and the two sets of seals on the gas and oil side ensure that the gas handled is pure, without any contamination.
