HCP 500 — Hydrogen Compressor Package
High-flow compression and flow management solutions for hydrogen compression
Hydrogen is a key element in the green energy transition. Together with our partners, we are on a mission to deliver the most cost-efficient hydrogen compression package available. To allow wide use of hydrogen for mobility and trailer filling, equipment must evolve from small demonstration projects into industrialized and efficient solutions, enabling you to meet your total cost of ownership expectations. Reciprocating compressors play a key role in reaching this goal. At Ariel and HOERBIGER, we have the technology to enable the most economic and reliable package for high pressure hydrogen compression.
Transport and storage of hydrogen will be a central issue of the future hydrogen economy. In addition to the type of production, transport and storage, there is a need for efficient compression solutions along the entire hydrogen value chain. Our Hydrogen Compressor Package is tailored to enable our customers efficient transportation and storage solutions for hydrogen applications.
Hydrogen mobility will play an important role in the energy transition of heavy duty vehicles such as trucks and busses. Together with Ariel, we provide a cost-efficient Hydrogen Compressor Package that is purposely designed to meet technical requirements of applications in hydrogen fueling station applications.

You can run initially low station need with same equipment as in full load.
Reliability
Reliability and Availability are a key success factor for an efficient Hydrogen Compressor Package.
To respond to market requirements the product readiness is supported by a Hydrogen Test Bench at HOERBIGER and Ariel. This allows us to continuously improve our performance indicators like the MTBM and availability of our Hydrogen Compressor Package.
- Suction Pressure – Compressor:
- 25 bar
- Discharge Pressure:
- 500 bar
- Mass Flow:
- >250 kg/h
- Mass Flow Regulation (energy efficient):
- 30 … 100 %
- Mass Flow Regulation (technically):
- 0 … 100 %
- Space Requirements:
- ~72 m2

Yes, the compressor is oil-free. We guarantee that the wear of our sealing elements doesn’t degrade the quality of H2.
~72 m2 incl. maintenance and service area.
The design suction pressure is 25 bar. A suction pressure range from 15 – 275 bar is possible. The discharge pressure is maximum 500 bar, but flexible in a range from 50 to 500 bar.
At design conditions the mass flow is 250 kg/h. Based on the supply and discharge condition the mass flow can be in a range of 180 kg/h to 300 kg/h.
The compressor responds almost instantly to load changes with our eHydroCOM HD stepless control system. That’s particularly useful to stabilize the backpressure in mbar range for electrolysis.
