Mitsubishi hydrogen pump operates for 1,200 hours at US hub

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) has reportedly achieved 50 days of hydrogen refuelling operations using its cryogenic hydrogen pump.

Carried out at FirstElement Fuel’s (FEF) Livermore Hydrogen Hub in the US, MHI has said its 900 bar Class Ultra-High-Pressure Liquid Hydrogen Booster Pump completed 1,500 refuelling cycles without downtime or replacement of major parts.

The Japanese corporation stated that the long-term durability demonstrates “significant progress on the path to a future hydrogen economy,” providing high flow rates of 160kg of hydrogen per hour at 900 bar. Over 1,200 hours of operations, they pumped approximately 140 tonnes of liquid hydrogen.

The test first began in April 2023 and was completed this month (November 2024). The pump will now be installed at a large-scale hydrogen station in Japan, which is scheduled to go into commercial operation next year.
