Differences between new hydrogen compressors and circulating hydrogen compressors
Thread Content
Let’s discuss together the differences between new hydrogen compressors and recycled hydrogen compressors; our plant uses reciprocating compressors in both cases.
The type of model to be used is determined based on the process parameters. The name used depends on the source of hydrogen: fresh hydrogen comes from the system, while recycled hydrogen is that which circulates within the system
Cyclonic compressors have a lower compression ratio, while other compressors have more stages and thus a higher compression ratio.
Comparison of the two: 1. The new hydrogen compressor has a higher pressure ratio and lower flow rate, with hydrogen molecules having a lower molecular weight under operating conditions. 2. The circulation pump has a lower pressure ratio and higher flow rate, with hydrogen molecules having a higher molecular weight under operating conditions
