Our solutions for the hydrogen industry

Electrohydraulic drive systems for piston compressors and cryopumps

The approach for systems from approx. 10 kg H2/h is based on a displacement-controlled drive with variable speed and/or variable displacement. This avoids the losses that occur when a control valve is used to manage the drive. The electrohydraulic solution allows needs-based power control. Power electronics and digital control systems also come from Bosch Rexroth. The latter play a key role in ensuring smooth running and exact process control. This way, the piston movement makes optimum use of the compression space and achieves the highest possible gas-side efficiency. A suitable compressor drive cylinder can be supplied for every electrohydraulic system.

Double rod cylinder for medium hydrogen volumes

The CGV double rod cylinder is a durable and energy-efficient solution for compressing gases. It drives the flange-mounted gas compressor with high repeat accuracy and oscillating movements. The pre-tested cylinder, which is adjusted for end position accuracy, is easy to install regardless of position. Integrated leakage connections for gases on the cylinder simplify the design of the compressor heads. The cylinder position is determined by switching sensors. Forces of up to 2,500 kN can be realized. Speeds of up to 0.8 m/s are possible. CGV double rod cylinder are the optimum solution for your gas compressor. Durable - Powerful - Efficient.

Your Benefits:

• Specially optimized double rod cylinder for driving compressor systems
• robust design for maximum service life
• Position-accurate movement thanks to end position detection for maximum output and efficiency in the compression process
• ATEX certification available
• optimized for operation in combination with CytroCore

New cryopump: Refueling 100 kg hydrogen in 10 minutes

Bosch Rexroth developed the new electrohydraulically driven cryopump in collaboration with FirstElement Fuel, the market leader for the commercial operation of hydrogen filling stations in the USA. With a connection rating of 280 kW, it compresses liquid hydrogen to 875 bar for the direct refueling of heavy trucks. The aim is to refuel vehicles with 100 kg of hydrogen within 10 minutes. With direct refueling, there is no need for temporary storage tanks at filling stations.

Your Benefits:

• Very high availability and robustness
• Low loss of hydrogen
• Low operating and energy costs due to highly efficient drive and pump technology
• Elimination of costly high-pressure intermediate storage tanks due to high pump volume flow and controllability
• Simplified integration into existing filling station concepts

Your gateway to outstanding performance

Service for your H2 infrastructure

We aim to ensure that you benefit from the efficient Bosch Rexroth H2 infrastructure solutions you use in your company. The availability of spare parts, repairs and technical support is guaranteed by us as standard, not only for all products in the current portfolio, but also for a period of at least 10 years beyond the active sales phase. These service benefits will then enter an extended Service phase.

Bosch Rexroth also offers immediate assistance at the push of a button. In the event of a malfunction, the Digital Service Assistant is available around the clock for access to the entire service portfolio. The repair service and the hotline are also there for you 24/7. And to make sure you can act rather than react in the future, Bosch Rexroth offers forward-looking services such as CytroConnect Solutions.
