Compression skid

Introduction:

The project in question was installed at the CEPSA test and research centre (Alcalà de Henares, near
Madrid) with the aim of testing high-pressure hydrogen. The hydrogen is brought to the centre in storage.

The Hydro Meccanica compression unit compresses it to a pressure of 200 bar and then stores it in storage
units.

Customer request:

• Suction pressure: 8 bar
• Discharge pressure: 200 bar
• Max flowrate @ 8 bar suction pressure: 14 Scm/h (8.3 SCFM)             Advantages and features of the SAFE solution:

Idro Meccanica supplied the TDE90 series compression skid
A compact skid, installed inside the research centre, complete with cooling system and electrical and
control panel.

A flexible and efficient solution capable of compressing and storing hydrogen.
The TDE90 hydro-mechanical compression unit, coupled with a 3 kW electric motor, is top-in-class in terms of efficiency and flexibility: the wide pressure range (from 8 to 200 bar) in which it operates, the low number of cycles and the very low energy consumption translate into low total operating consumption over the entire product
life cycle.
