Kawasaki Heavy Industries has kicked off construction of what it claims is the world’s first centrifugal hydrogen compressor purpose-built for liquefaction plants.
Dubbed KM Comp-H2, the compressor reportedly increases the pressure of refrigerant hydrogen gas to improve efficiencies in the liquefaction process, which could reduce hydrogen supply costs.
Kawasaki has implemented an impeller designed to spin at ultra-high speeds, enabling it to compress hydrogen more effectively.
