PDC industrial hydrogen compressor

Hydrogen transportation in pipelines or tube trailers

PDC high pressure hydrogen compressor in diaphragm compression systems that are engineered specifically for these high-pressure and high-purity needs.

Superior Technology: Diaphragm Compressors

At the heart of PDC’s innovation is its diaphragm compressor technology, renowned for its clean, oil-free, and leak-tight operation. These compressors work by using a hydraulically driven diaphragm to compress hydrogen without any direct contact between the gas and mechanical parts. This ensures:

Ultra-high gas purity

• Zero contamination from lubricants or particulates

• Leak-free operation for enhanced safety

• Ideal conditions for fuel cells and sensitive industrial processes

PDC’s high-pressure models are capable of delivering pressures up to 1,000 bar (14,500 psi), making them suitable for demanding applications such as 700 bar vehicle refueling and high-capacity energy storage.

Customization and Flexibility

Every hydrogen project has unique requirements. PDC Machines offers customizable compressor configurations to match varying flow rates, pressure targets, and environmental conditions. Their modular compressor skids can be configured for:

• Single-stage to multi-stage compression

• Air-cooled or water-cooled systems

• Indoor or outdoor installations

Standalone compressors or integrated systems with storage and dispensing units

This flexibility ensures that whether a client is operating a small-scale hydrogen fueling station or a large industrial hydrogen plant, PDC can tailor a solution that fits.
