Haskel launches new H-Drive System Module for Hydrogen Compression
14 July, Sunderland, UK – Haskel, a leader in gas compression technology with over 75 years of industry expertise, has launched a H-Drive System Module.
This cutting-edge hydrogen compression module is designed to seamlessly integrate into larger systems, offering an efficient and reliable solution in applications such as hydrogen refuelling stations, production plants, and various industrial applications.
The H-Drive System Module addresses the challenges faced by system integrators in building and maintaining high-performance compression systems. By simplifying the integration process, it allows system builders to incorporate advanced compression technology with reduced lead times while ensuring uncompromised performance and safety.
Robert Harbison, Global Product Manager – Compression Systems Haskel Europe, said:
The launch of the H-Drive System Module represents Haskel’s commitment to the highest standards in gas compression.
Haskel’s H-Drive System Module is a time and cost saving solution for the hydrogen sector. Building on our 7 decades of expertise, Haskel is evolving to meet the needs of hydrogen customers.”
Product Features:
• Proven Technology: The H-Drive technology ensures reliable hydrogen compression up to 950 bar.
• Ease of Integration: Designed for seamless incorporation into existing systems and enclosures as an off-the-shelf solution that minimises complexity.
• Flexible Supply: Adaptable to various configurations with options for maximum pressures of 550 bar or 950 bar.
• Safety in Design: Certified under ATEX directive for EX II 3G IIC environments; features include pressure monitoring and overpressure protection.
• High Compression Ratios & Variable Inlet Pressures: Two-stage compressors accommodate inlet pressures up to 500 bar from diverse sources.
Product Configurations:
HSM X1 Series: Integrates hydraulic power within the module; available models provide up to 550 or 950 bar pressure capabilities—ideal for compact solutions requiring minimal integration work.
HSM X2 Series: Offers separate hydraulic power units allowing flexible installation aligned with specific system designs; supports similar pressure capabilities as X1 series.
The versatile modules are suitable for vehicle refuelling stations (350/700 bar), hydrogen storage solutions, tube trailer filling, and industrial processes like ammonia and methanol production where high-pressure hydrogen is essential.
As efforts to achieve net zero gather pace and hydrogen plays an increasing role in the global energy mix, Haskel’s state-of-the-art H-Drive System Module offers a vital tool supporting this uptake. It delivers safe and flexible hydrogen compression technology crucial to the net zero industries of tomorrow.
