Screw Compressor VRW 536 M

  • Oil-free compression
  • High efficiency and increased differential pressure in one stage
  • Reduced investment and operating costs
  • Ideal as a pre-compressor (booster) for downstream compressor types
  • Compact footprint
  • Handles wet H₂ without pre-drying.

Add to compare

The VRW 536 M is an oil-free, water-injected screw compressor designed for hydrogen compression. It operates on the principle of oil-flooded screw compressors, but with water replacing oil for cooling and gap sealing, enabling efficient compression to higher differential pressures. This compressor is ideal for reducing footprint, investment, and operating costs, and can serve as a pre-compressor for downstream systems. It is also suitable for other critical gas applications like flare gas and contaminated gases. The VRW 536 M offers 100% oil-free compression, maximum efficiency, and increased differential pressure in one stage, making it a highly energy-efficient solution for hydrogen compression.

Use Cases

  • Booster for downstream compressor types
  • Handling of contaminated gases
  • Flare gas applications
  • Compression of hydrogen gas to intermediate and final pressures

Capabilities

  • Oil-free compression with water injection cooling.
  • Efficient single-stage operation up to 10 bar(a).
  • Speed-controlled operation to adapt to process changes.
  • Replaces two-stage dry screw systems.
