Green hydraulics: basis for efficient H2 supply. The political framework is in place. Now it is important to find the right technologies for the rapid introduction of green hydrogen. Hydraulics is one of them, as it can compress hydrogen highly efficiently and safely. Last but not least, filling stations are thus particularly reliable and energy efficient.
Proven industrial hydraulics solutions are a major help in building the H2 infrastructure. With Bosch Rexroth as a partner, the players benefit from needs-based support. This ranges from robust and safe components to engineering support and complete solutions.
When setting up H2 filling stations, manufacturers and operators can choose from several approaches: For H2 compression up to 900 bar and a delivery rate of approx. 100 kg/h, either highly dynamic cryogenic pumps or highly efficient compressors with linear or rotary drives can be considered. If smaller delivery rates are required, servo-hydraulic compact axes generate advantages because they require little space, especially for retrofitting in urban areas, and can be put into operation quickly thanks to the Plug & Produce preconfiguration.
Safety shut-off blocks and valves from Bosch Rexroth also prove their worth when transporting H2 in pipelines. In addition, the hydraulics expert's close-knit service network creates the best conditions for optimum on-site maintenance.
