HULC – THE MODULAR HYDROGEN COMPRESSOR UP TO 1,050 BAR

The Maximator HULC series is a modular gas compression system, specifically designed for hydrogen compression up to 1,050 bar with scaleable volume flow. In addition to innovative technologies such as the new Nitrogen Flow Purge purging process or our Flex Drive efficiency booster, the HULC series is particularly impressive due to its modularity in a wide range of hydrogen compression applications.

A standard configuration up to 1,050 bar consists of one control module (MASTER-module) and up to four gas booster modules (X-modules) – first stage module up to 90 bar, second stage module up to 300 bar, the third stage module up to 600 bar and the final stage module up to 1,050 bar. This configuration will provide a gas outlet flow of 2,5 kg Hydrogen per hour (average). For higher outlet capacities more modules can be connected easily.

This complete series is installed in 19“ rack frame with front panel mounting and front connection for easy installation, exchange and access. This system can be easy installed and combined.

For all applications the MASTER module is mandatory and handles safety and functional features for a maximum of four X-modules. The X-modules can be combined and connected depending on the application.

• 1 master module can control up to 4 compressor modules
• Similar modules can be connected in series to achieve the highest pressures or in parallel to achieve the highest flow rates
• The complete solution is set up in 19“ racks in different heights (S and L)
• The maximum pressure level is 1,050 bar and up to a maximum of 2.5 kg of hydrogen per hour can be compressed (at 300 bar inlet pressure and 1,050 bar outlet pressure) as well as the parallel operation of two modules
• The minimum inlet pressure is 5 bar, the maximum inlet pressure is 300 bar (this means that the system can be used with almost any PEM/AEM electrolyser and also bundle accumulators up to 300 bar).
• All hydrogen-carrying high-pressure lines are equipped with our proven cone and thread fittings.
• High-pressure gas filter in each stage (7μm) for maximum purity
• Integrated cooling for maximum efficiency (no additional energy required)
• The system has no electrical connection (power supply), it is a purely mechanical system
• Each module is equipped with a stroke counter for easy lifetime monitoring
• Complete machine according to ATEX Zone 2 and Machinery Directive
