Hydrogen Gas Compressors - LX-SERIES

  • Oil-free non-lubricated gas pistons and cylinders protect against oil contamination of the process gas
  • Full stroke-length distance pieces isolate the hydraulic drive from the gas cylinders
  • Operates over a wide range of inlet pressures
  • Water cooled gas cylinders lower operating temperatures and increase packing life
  • Patented free piston design simplifies maintenance
  • Materials suitable for hydrogen embrittlement resistance

Add to compare

The LX-SERIES Hydrogen Gas Compressors by Hydro-Pac are hydraulically driven compressors specifically designed for hydrogen applications across fueling stations, industrial sites, and R&D facilities. These systems use a hydraulic intensifier consisting of a central hydraulic cylinder coupled with gas cylinders to achieve reliable high-pressure compression. The compressors are available in single-stage and two-stage configurations. Single-stage units are typically used for high inlet pressure applications, while two-stage units are used when higher compression ratios are required. The system provides precise control of discharge pressure and flow rate via the hydraulic drive, enabling efficient integration with hydrogen production systems such as electrolyzers and reformers.

Use Cases

  • Hydrogen fueling stations (fixed and mobile)
  • Industrial sites
  • Research and development facilities
  • Filling storage tanks
  • Emptying high-pressure tube trailers
