HCP 500 – Hydrogen Compressor Package from HOERBIGER

HCP 500: Over a century of expertise in compression technology

Hydrogen is a key element of the green energy transition and will play a significant role in the decarbonization of industry and transportation. However, on this path, the necessary facilities must be scaled, industrialized, and optimized in terms of their total cost of ownership (TCO). Our technology already offers all of this today – safe, reliable, and cost-effective hydrogen compression for large-scale hydrogen applications, focusing on trailer filling and heavy-duty hydrogen refueling.

Transport and Storage

Regardless of the production method, the transport and storage of the molecule is a central issue for the future hydrogen economy. Our HCP 500 is designed to process hydrogen from various sources and allows for the filling of different storage media at varying pressure levels. The advantage is that the control system eHydroCOM precisely adjusts the compressor load to the changing operating conditions of the electrolyzer. Typical sources / targets for the HCP 500:

Electrolyzers
Trailers
Cascade storage tanks

Refueling

important role in the transition to emission-free commercial vehicles in the transportation sector. The HCP 500 addresses key points for future operators of refueling stations, such as short refueling times for large fleets and the possibilities of "direct filling". Refueling of:

Trucks
Buses
Trains
Ferries
