Hydrogen cooling system H2PCU description

  • The H2PCU offers a high cooling capacity with low power usage due to the Aluminium Block Heat exchanger, thus reduced investment costs.
  • The Aluminium Block has a high thermal mass, which is an advantage at stations where highly intermittent refueling is planned.
  • In the H2PCU cooling system, hydrogen flows through an Aluminium Block Heat exchanger, which is pre-cooled via the cooling system refrigerant R452A. Thus, the Aluminium Block provides the advantage of simultaneous Active and Passive cooling.
  • The system proves most worthy for one dispenser hydrogen stations.
  • The high mass and heat capacity of the Aluminium Block Heat exchanger allows to have a cooling unit with low connections load values.
  • The nominal operating points of the system are: tc = 45° C; to = -40° C, delivering the cooling capacity as per the SAE J2601 hydrogen standard.
  • As a Kustec cooling system, the advanced control system ensures optimizing operational points to maximize COP, thus efficiency.
